    let's take a look at the possibilities.

    Yes, the Klitschko's are clearly the two best Heavyweights in the world today and there is no chance of them ever fighting each other. Any fight that includes one of them is usually a one-sided beat down. With that said, there are plenty of good fights that can be made at HW that wouldn't include either one of them.

    Helenius vs. Fury- their combined record is 36-0 (25), they both have decision wins over Chisora. Helenius has also stopped Brewster, Levin, Peter, and Liakhovich. Helenius is 6'7" with an 80" reach and 240 Lbs. Fury is 6'9" with an 85" reach and 250 Lbs.

    Chisora vs. Solis- both have failed in their biggest fights but still seem to have potential, let's find out. Both just under 6'2". Chisora about 250 Lbs., Solis about 260 Lbs. A combined 33-5 (21), each have 1 KO loss.

    Seth Mitchell vs. Bermane Stiverne- A combined 47-1-2 (39). A lot of power in both men. Stiverne is 6'2" with an 80" reach and 240 Lbs. Mitchell is about the same with a little shorter reach.


    Povetkin vs. Haye

    Adamek vs. Huck

    How about Holyfield vs. Rahman II or McCall vs. Toney?

    I'm tired of seeing Tony Thompson get beat up by Wlad. Dont' want to see anymore unproven guys like Charr get a chance at Vitali.

    I agree, it's silly and sad that the guys below K2 don't seem to want to face each other. I understand people wanting the biggest payday possible, but with good fights and performances these fighters could be in for several smaller paydays even if it did mean getting som losses on their records. Besides it's just dumb to expect that you can go from beating up bums to fighting the Klitschkos - with experience against other good fighters, the top heavies might stand more of a chance when facing them.

    Magomed Abdusalamov v Bryant Jennings
    Denis Boytsov v David Price
    Just to add a couple. A lot of good fights available. I agree that the problem is that top contenders don't want to fight each other. They want shortcuts.

    The HW division is the only division where the best fight each other. You should concentrate your post for the little guy weight divisions.

    *Fury has a legitimate win over Chisora, Helenius has a gift.

    Would love to see this fight.

    Hayemaker beats that clown in your avatar by early KO without even going into second gear. Haye is several classes above that guy.

    Chisora came in well over his usual fighting weight, due to an injury he picked up or something like that. Fury caught him at the right time.

    Fury gets spanked by both Helenius and Price

    Fury was more out of shape than Chisora. And needless to say has much more talent. Chisora's just a natural fat guy, that's the way he rolls. As a teenager when he first joined a boxing GYM he weighed 20 stone and it wasn't muscle either.

    Nonsense. Haye is a scared bunnywabbit. He maybe has the tools for a upset against Robbe. But the truth is come showtime, once he's tasted Robbe's power he will go to that scared bunnywabbit mode like he always does against formidable oppositon. And it doesn't get any more formidable than my man Robbe :good

    Sorry I have to disagree

    Fury's 3 previous fights:

    270 McDermott
    263 Power
    261 Nascimento

    And against Chisora he came in at 255

    Chisora 3 previous fights:

    243 Baker
    244 Williams
    244 Sexton

    And against Fury he came in at 261!

    Looks as though Fury imporved his conditioning!

    This is Fury close to his natural weight when off the heavy drinking.

    Here's Chisora in his peak condition against Sam Sexton. He's a natural fat guy.

    Fury was around 245 in that pic.

    And Chisora was 244 against Sexton. Stick a nearly a stone and a half on Chis there and that was him against Fury.

    I don't see what point your making?
