I would be very suprised also. This would be Hayes second best opponent so far. And a high risk fight. He could fight two lower fighters and would have the same position. Why should he fight Pulev? Also why should Pulev fight Haye being so close to a mandatory position? It makes only sense if this fight would be a eliminator fight. But then Haye would have to fight Wladimir again. Thought he wanted to fight old Vitali??? Hmm strange. I dont think HAye vs. Pulev will happen.
Also Helenius is a strong contender if healthy. I really dont get people who say he is **** because he has big injury problems. Right now Helenius is a puncher without his strong punching hande. Of course he looks bad when he only can fight with one hand
I wouldn't be surprised if this happens though its not the most likely fight for Haye next. Sauerland & Haye have a good relationship, after the Valuev fight Sauerland made good money off their options on Haye. I thought Haye might face Helenius but he's injured again & its a better fight for Pulev than Wlad imo
It was a year and a half ago when he lost all 12 rounds decisively to DERECK CHISORA, of all people. Looked like utter trash. And has looked shitty in his two fights since... Helenius is not a contender. You'd have to be a big fanboy to rate him in a few spots into the top 10.
this would be a very hard fight for both. haye would once again steal the spotlight of wladimir's fight. so from this point of view he should do it if he's confident he can beat pulev.
Helenius did not lost all 12 Rounds decisively. It was a close fight! Please watch the fight again. And also you dont seem to understand that Helenius fought only with one hand because his ****ing other hand was broken? He had a broken hand and a shoulde injury against Chisora. From the second round on!!!!!!! Cant you understand that a puncher looks bad without his strong (and best weapon) punching hand? Is this really too much for you? IS it really that hard to understand that a puncher looks bad without his punching hand? A healthy and fit Helenius is a good contender. Just deal with it. And I am not a fanboy by the way! I juts hate it when people like you say a boxer is **** because he looks bad because of big injury problems in his fight. This is just a dumb thing to say. atsch
:nono James J. Jeffries had a torn shoulder against Tom Sharkey and still retained his HW title. Vitali Klitschko had a tear in his shoulder against the very same Chisora and managed to win 9+ rounds from him. Donaire gets a busted vein every fight in his hand should we give him more credit for that? Injuries suck, but just like TKO6, they're a part of the game and if you have them, they're your issue. I don't need to rewatch it. There were 10 absolutely one sided rounds and 2 rounds which Helenius brought it closer but still lost rather easily. Anyone who scores that fight closer than 10-2 Chisora is an agenda driven idiot who can go back to MMA. So please, sir, go back to MMA. "Feb. 2013" join date with over 1,000 posts and you post some **** like that... :bart
:deal fixed that... BTW: you overrate helenius. he is powerful that's it! he doesn't have footwork or defence. the fights he had against former champs weren't that decisevely won by helenius although they all were over the hill. he just has punching power that's all. he would lose against the likes of haye, povetkin, pulev, fury, price,...
So what? Because there are boxers who manage to win with serious injuries other boxer who have big problems with injuries are ****?atsch Helenius had a big shoulder injury AND a broken hand against Chisora. How is he supposed to look like? Please stop the hate on this guy. Helenius is a puncher! Every time he lost his PUNCHING hand he looks ****! Of course because he is a puncher not not a technical boxer! Hating on a puncher because he is losing his punching hand in every fight is just dumb nothing more. And you are pretty dumb to say that it was a 10:2 fight. I dont want to talk with a guy like you who clearly has no clue about boxing. Bye. I wont waste my time. Go on and say Helenius sucks. Although he is losing his punching hand in every fight. I wont answer on your post anymore because you clearly have something against Helenius and cant be objectiv about him. :hi:
Of course Helenius is a PUNCHER with a halfway good jab, a good chin and a halfway good workrate! He is clearly not a skillful, technical, boxer! And thats why he looks **** right now! Because he is a puncher WITHOUT his punching hand! I really cant understand the hate against him. And yeah he would lose against Price A healthy Helenius is a good contender right now. Please dont say he is **** when he is healthy! He clearly has some good parts in his game. He may not be the best contender but he is clearly not ****.
This isn't true. Sauerland threw Pulev in against Ustinov who is a stylistic nightmare and quite possibly much more dangerous than David.
