    Id have to agree the fans would be the winner and the actual winner of that fight would become an interesting contender

    Agreed.
    It was interesting recently when G Groves and J DeGale were willing to put their undefeated records on the line and face each other.
    After a facinating match up in a close fight it ended in a SD. Both have potential to go on further with careers. In fact DeGale the SD loser is contesting the European title next.

    Right now, I'd pick Helenius, who just sits on his punches a lot better than Fury. Fury would probably take a few rounds simply outworking Helenius.

    Long-term, I still like Fury better. I see no reason why he can't learn to sit on his punches better. His stamina has been improving from fight to fight, and his feet are in the right place to throw powerful punches. Once his stamina gets a little better, he should be able to throw more punches with conviction.

    Which Helenius fan was complaining that Fury is slow? Watch tape of the two of them - Fury is clearly a bit quicker with his hands than the Nordic Nightmare, plus he usually leaves them in a better position to throw punches. It just is what it is.

    Helenius is poor. Fury is improving and has a massive heart and a great chin.

    Fury would outpoint him easily.

    I gotta agree. But I still would want to see it happen. Right after Helenius beats Sergei, I want to see him take out Fury.

    That would really pad Robbe's record with good wins prior to his 20th bout. Wow, just thinking about it......The guy has 4 good wins inside 15 fights. 6 inside 17.......this guy is the heir apparent to the Klitschko dynasty.

    Helenius wins by (t)ko. Helenius is top prospect and top10 hw. He's too skilled and eventough Fury seems to have good chin he couldn't stand with Robbe's punches. Neither did Peter or Brewster. Robbe is only guy to knock Brewster down with one shot and he also made Brewster retire. Robbe has one of the hardest punches in hw division.

    I remember hearing Brewster say Helenius hits harder than Wlad and then turn around and claim Helenius gloves were loaded so he must hit hard. But to me it seems he lost it after the Chisora fight. People claimed he was trash after his fight with Chisora but I think he showed a lot of heart since he was hurt. But that injury was very bad. Helenius does not seem to be the same fighter anymore. I'm afraid that shoulder injury messed up his career. I hope I'm wrong but he looked like **** in his last fight. Right now I would give Fury the edge. But if Helenius gets his power back not may heavys will be able to handle his power. Helenius had one hell of a good uppercut before the injury.

    Yeah he fought like he was insane against Cunningham but go back and watch his fight with Kingpin Johnson. Fury really showed his skills against Johnson a fighter that is very underrated I must say. But Fury showed some amazing boxing skills in that fight. And also Fury fights very well on the inside for a big man.

    Johnson was out of shape.
    Helenius still Needs to recover from his injury from the Sprott fight. Fight wont happen.
