Too early for this . . . the guy has only 15 PRO FIGHTS ! If he can fight 2 guys in the top 5 ratings and beat them . . . the guy probably deserves the fight.
Unless Helenius has one hell of a chin, Wlad knocks him out. Wlad shouldn't have any problems with this guy.
sorry guys but besides vitali and haye there will be nobody left that has any chance of beating wlad, a hail mary hasim rahman punch will be the only thing to hope for. If he gets by haye I cant picture wlad losing till he retires in 4/5 years. If he manages to stay champ and rank in wins for he next 4 years he will be dominating the heavyweight division for 10 years, how impressive is that, even in the dark ages of heavyweight boxing.
You're lying yourself if you don't think Haye has a great chance. I guess you just don't understand SPEED in boxing. It's true that Wlad can take him out early with a left hook, but Haye has just as much of a chance of putting down Wlad with a left hook of his own or an overhand right. It's a 50/50 fight. Haye is more elusive than he seems (to you) and he has excellent handspeed, the likes of which Wlad has never seen. Not to mention, he throws from multiple angles.
lol if helenius didnt KO peter these threads wouldnt even exist. he looked like utter **** and was arguably losing the fight up until the KO, its amazing how a KO can change everyones perception at the drop of a hat.
Robbe looked pretty decent tonight in spite of his mere 15 fights. His power is definately enough to put Wlad on ***** street, but his footwork and his will are seriously lacking. His KO of Peter looked more due to Peter's quitting than to Robbes determination or domination, and I'm not taking anything away from Robbe, but NO WAY IN HELL Wlad just stands there while the 1-2 is on the way, much less remain stationary for the followup KO hook. Gotta say though in 3-4 years, with some good training and some more EXP, I could see Robbe dominating the division for 10 years just as soon as Wlad decides it's time to call it quits.
"Haye has just as much of a chance of putting down Wald with a left hook of his own". Ho! That's a good one!
atsch Forgive me. I forgot that Wlad has an iron chin. I mean if Haye can make Valuev, who's head is bigger than two basketballs do the chicken dance with a left hook, there is no way he can hurt Wlad who's been down only more than 11 times.
I like Helenius a lot but I am not picking against either Klitschko until someone shows me that they can make a fight with them.
Wlad by KO, but aside from Haye and maybe Adamek RH might be the best challenge right now, really sad but hey maybe he will improve.
