    Yes, read my post:

    "Tyson Fury (after Chisora win): Sky Sports will hype this up. Despite his god awful boxing ability, the very limited Fury is a 6'9, 260lb behemoth, so he is no tomato can. However, here the size advantages of Fury are minimal &

    Fury needed a gift decision to beat a very poor fighter in McDermott in '09, but at least stopped him a year later. Wlad totally dominates every round with a boxing masterclass, winning a shutout decision or KO'ing a gassed Fury late.

    Tyson Fury... :patsch God I hope Chisora does him over.

    We cant have an undisputed champion while they are both around, I would like one or both of them to retire. Theyve cleaned out all reasonable comp tbf.

    Do you really think Teddy Atlas will let Povetkin fight Wlad? :ko

    Atlas has been feeding Povetkin crapola opponents, ever since they hooked up.

    Teddy knows Povetkin will get brutalised.

    Well, hope dies last, somehow I think they will make the fight, they probably will just up the money. Povetkin right now is the only really credible challenger left.

    Not yet, he will be in a few fights.

    He may but I really expect him to show his age. Vitali has neither the footwork nor defence of Wlad though. It´s much easier for Haye to avoid Vitali´s punches than Wlad´s and easier to land his own. Factor in him slipping, and he will he´s getting 40 and with his size ...

    I don't want to see Wlad beating green fighters like Chisor Fury or Helenius.

    I'd rather see Wlad vs Valuev, Dimitrenko, and Chambers or Haye. In that order.

    If he makes these fights within the next 12 mos, then maybe DelBoy/Fury and Helenius will have another 2-3 wins themselves, and be as ready as they can be for their beatdown.

    first chisora (after he ko's fury)
    will be a very nice fight with a highlight ko

    then arreola, could be a difficult fight for wlad, but he will ko arreola too

    and then he will fight povetkin, very good fight, but again a ko for wlad

    You're right he has a better defense and his footwork while not as quick is equally effective.

    A fight against Dimitrenko would be real visual confirmation to all who watch it that Wlad is not just another big guy. He would totally outclass the guy.

    Yes, currently other than Adamek (fighting Vitali), Povetkin is the only really credible challenger. I just wonder if Teddy is hoping Wlad will retire soon, so he can steer him to a WBO, WBA or IBF title. Then again, Povetkin turns 32 years old this year, & given his style, he needs to be pushed along very fast. Atlas needs to put him in with a top ranked guy or two, because after Chambers in '08 his competition has been abysmal.

    Totally agree, i want Helenius to fight 2 or 3 ranked fighters, after his fight with Shot Liakhovich. Helenius is big & powerful, but needs experience against ranked people who can test him. His KO of Peter was good, but lets face it, Peter was probably Shot, or at least Past-Prime damaged goods.

    We'll see... Vitali is a lot more aggressive than Wlad, so i don't just see him decisioning Haye... i see Vitali beating him up & stopping him. It's Dr. Iron Fist who really wants to punish Haye for his tastelss antics, plus Haye never seems comfortable around him.

    It would be a boxing masterclass & a whitewash win for Wlad, but a (probably boring) Dimitrenko fight would be very similar to a Fury fight, except it would sell less well, yielding much lower financial returns for K2. At least with Fury, Sky Sports can hype it up as the undefeated British & Commonwealth champion facing the World Champion, & get the British casual fans interested, by fooling them into thinking Fury has some kind of chance. PPV material in the UK, right there. :yep
