I predicted from the beginning that wach wont last more than 3 rounds judging by his boxing ability, but judging by the sign of his chin i thought there was a chance of him lasting the distance. This is the first time i saw Wladimire against a taller foe and i was impressed. he fought better against a taller guy, looked more versatile and showed more of his tool box. How do you think the other big guys like tyson fury or david price do against klitschko after watching him against wach? I think he beats them both inside the distance as i dont feel they would withstand what wach did and wlad showed very good boxing ability! I was impressed
Price and Fury would get KO'd within 5 rounds if they ate the shots Wach ate Helenius would have the best chance of lasting the distance, plus he carries his power into the late rounds, so he'd have a real chance of KO'ing Wlad the whole fight
I think the taller guys wouldn't do to well. Waldo clearly has his flaws, but in comparison to the other big guys the division has to offer, he is pretty fast with his hands and feet, so the other boxers have a hard time capitalizing on his flaws. Apart from a possible hail mary I don't see them doing well.
Nobody is beating Wlad for a good couple of years...if Fury-Price-Wilder took those right hands it would be over asap.
Good post...... But Helenius seemed real gunshy throwing that ZR hand last night. I know it was likely due to Williams having his head down and Robbe not wanting to break it like he did v Chisora in rd 1, but he could have hooked it a bit so long as he was throwing it. I need to see Robbe in another couple fights before he goes for Wlad. Seems Fury is ready as he's gonna get, and after he KOs Grano in Dec, he should get his shot next summer after Wlad disposes of Potvetkin in March. Price.....well, he's still 3-4 fights away, despite what his little mong midget mgr thinks. But whenever he steps up to fight Wlad, whether late 2013, or early 2014, he's getting KTFO just for the simple fact that Wlad is going to punish him for Maloney's sake.:deal
Although I highly doubt Price or Fury would get hit as much as Wach, they most likely could not take the same sort of punishment. Given their relative inexperience and the fact that Wladimir does not seem to be getting "old," I would favor a Wladimir KO over both. Given that Helenius did not seem to have his crushing power last night against Williams, Wlad would slowly pick him apart, TKO. Ustinov has even more height and weight than Wach, but is much older and out of shape. Wlad TKO. By the way, I would absolutely to see a Wach vs. Ustinov fight. I wish Virchis hadn't retired... Wilder would be fast and awkward,but his lack of technical skill would be his undoing. Wlad KO Dimitrenko would be absolutely smashed given his apparent lack of toughness. Wlad KO Grant is too old and slow now and very gunshy. Wlad KO Who am I missing?
Fury just is not fast enough, he won't get enough hands in. If you watch Waldo's movement, speed and compare it to the other big guys, he is leaps and bounds ahead. With Waldos weak chin, the only hope for the rest of the division right now is to get the hail mary punch into target.
to me, Helenius is the most durable of the big guys, but he's so slow and flat-footed that Wlad would pick him off like shooting ducks I agree about Price, he is not ready to face Wlad, I doubt he'll be ready for at least the next 24 months
