now that #1 wbo potvetkin is out does tthat mean tua is ranked #1..???

That's Adamek's plan. That's why he's fighting Grant, to take on a fighter who is much taller than him.

Boytsov will be out of commission for a while still. He had hand surgery not long ago, and I can't imagine Universum will want to let one of their last decent draws take risks while trying to get back to full health.

 

No HW fighter wants to fight a Klitschko. Because no HW fighter wants to lose and lose badly. Maybe Wlad and Vitali should agree to start fighting two HWs at a time. Maybe then some HWs would agree to get in the ring with them.

 

So Adamek Grant is in last August so if he is going to be involved in an eliminater November is probably the earliest.

Yeah i remember reading an article about how Boytsov had just started getting back into training not too long ago. Given how careful they're moving Boytsov along (which is frustrating) i doubt they'd throw him into an eliminator with Adamek no tune up no nothing. He hasn't even faced a top 10 fighter yet, they need to cut the ****ing umbilicle cord already.

WBO

1. Alexander Povetkin
2. David Tua
3. Tomasz Adamek
4. Denis Boytsov
5. Ruslan Chagaev
6. Samuel Peter
7. Nicolay Valuev
8. Alexander Dimitrenko
9. Odlainier Solis
10. Chris Arreola

So if Tua gets dropped which he hopfully will all the HL guys have either lost to Klychko already or wont fight him. They'd have to reach all the way back to Dimitrenko or Solis at the 8 or 9 spots.

 

its likley tua and povetkin will drop and Adameck will become mandatory.

 

I'd rather see Adameck against that 'other' cruiser. The one with the HW belt. Much better matchup for him.

 

are there any recent interviews with potvetkin?

I want to hear what he thinks about everything... not teddy saying what he thinks and what povetkin thinks.. Did he really want to fight wlad?.. Is he upset with the decision to not fight?
Is he happy with Teddy?
