    Almost as funny as the Klitschkos clinching and beating up guys 50lbs smaller than them, waiting for Lewis to retire, lumping their accomplishments together, and picking and choosing each other's opponents and you're saying they're top 10 all time greats.

    I would say hes one of very few heavyweight boxers of a high potential that are really properly on track to be the best he can be. He seems to have shown us he has most the tools needed, a mature mentality with a very good work ethic.

    If hes good enough to get to the top he really should do. Unless he rushes himself he may actually miss the Klithckos as they retire and with them gone there isnt too much out there, just a handfull of names which he should be right in the mix with.

    Though stepping up a level to the top you sometimes need top level representation to gain the best fights in the best places so maybe at some point he will need to look at changing his promotional team.

    Are they? Most of the comments before you posted were he looks good, but needs to be tested. Or is 6 or 7 fights off a title challenge.

    Most on the Brit forum have already spoken about his chin worries, as he has been stopped and hurt as an amateur. But time will tell. Sexton is more than a club fighter. Nothing great, but gave Chisora a very good fight and Chisora was deemed good enough to be Vitali's most recent fight. Or is Vitali now fighting club fighters too?

    He is the one I have the highest hopes for.

    He is, however, still very raw, but has a lot of potential to work with.

    right now he would give any HW outside of the Klits all they could handle.

    He has a very good foundation to build on. Seems to be taking his time, getting the right sparring, etc...not just rushing for a title shot, which is great to see.

    Not that the amount of muscle means very much. But what about his conditioning so far (the very little we have seen of him) has made you come to the conclusion that he needs a "real" conditioning trainer? Has his conditioning been shown to be a weakness?

    Muscle does not equal conditioning.

    Yes, that is the same Bute did. intersport and Bute were invited to fight Kessler several times, but they always said stright up that he was not ready for Kessler.

    And now it seems Bute is ready and willing to fight Froch in Nottingham, Ward in Oakland and Kessler in Denmark.

    He is a very bright prospect that's for sure.
    He has all the toold to become world champion in the not too distant future but he's got a couple of years or maybe an active 18 months before he is ready. The guy has only just won the british title. He will probably make 3 defences of that to win it outright, then step up to fight for the EBU title. After that a couple of defences and he could be ready

    Frankly I'd like to see Price fight Fury.
    If either of them are ever gonna get a shot at one of the Klit's, what better way to get some experience against tall opposition then to slug it out with each other.
    From what I have seen I fancy Price to beat Fury.

    Seems alright...I've ssen three of his fights now, but none of the ones I have seen have lasted more than a round. It's almost impossible to tell off that how good he is or how far his potential stretches.

    He's 29 though...no spring chicken. He can't afford any real setbacks or injury problems or long layoffs due to whatever reason.

    Based off what I've seen (precious little) talk of a Klitschko fight right now is laughable. I hope he comes good though.

    Totally agree. :good

    This obsession with muscle mass always amuses me. He looks in fine shape.

    ****ing hell, great prediction!



    err nobody as said that. Stop getting a panic on because people are conversing about a hw who's second name isn't Klitschko.
