Is rising heavyweight Robert Helenius the real deal?

He is the real deal...however in this era of a weak heavyweight division anyone half decent breaks into the top 10.
He will prob get a title fight vs Povetkin in his next few fights...would be good scrap as Helenius can break decent heavyweights down in the 2nd half of fights.

 

He showed decent stamina to come on late in bouts...seen a few of his fights now.
Perhaps a bit of a throwback:yep not all boxers must be super ripped...some white fellas dont just have the muscle definition.

 

they can if they want to. he chooses not to.

 

His making some noise, big enough to hang with the Kilts?

 

From a mobility standpoint you dont have to be super ripped to be a top level boxer.
Muscle that is toned & not carrying much amounts of fat can better suit some fighters.

 

No.
He does not beat any of the Klits IMO.
Probably hangs in there for a few rounds & then gets broken down in the 2nd half of the fight leading to a later rounds stoppage.

 

yep u r spot on fella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

he's a great fighter. it would take a future heavy champ to beat him.

 

As I said in the Haumono thread, watched the Helenius vs Lhiakonvich fight last night (free to air here in switzerland hehe) and as much as Helenius won, he wont give the Klits any trouble. TBH I think Arreola would beat him. So for me I think a matchup between Haumono and Helenius would be very competitive, or even Kali Meehan.

On the same card Povetkin fought Chagaev and lets Povetkin wont be troubling the Klits either. I think the Klits will rule the roost for a while.

 

Everyone is just awaiting for the Klitschko's to retire...then the division will really open up.:yep
