They are obviously good enough to be champions in the early 90s, the first half of the 90s saw, buster dougals, ray mercer, michael moorer, tommy morrison, michael bentt, herbie hide, oliver mccall, and a middle age george foreman as world champions the klitschkos are capable of beating every one of these. But anyway this thread isnt about that. The frustrating thing about seeing povetkin and helenius on the same card, is that they are not fighting each other.
Helenius-Dimitrenko purse bid set for October 31st, or are there any other news? After Mormeck signed the Klitschko fight, Helenius is the EBU mandatory.
why do people who are so called boxing fans use such logic like well if sanders beat wlad any past champion would??it just dosnt work like that and you know it..lewis lost to the rock and mccall that dosnt take away anything from lennox he was a ****ing great..stop using that logic it just dosnt stand up
Because 95% of what you see on here are 12 years old and/or have IQ's under 80 and/or hate the amazing K brothers because they're white. Sanders, by the way, could have been the best of them all. Wlad had the great misfortune to run into him the one time in his life that he bothered to get himself into peak condition.
For such a massive Helenius fan boy you could even learn to write his name correctly. Helenius is supposed to fight Dimitrenko, the only thing stopping it would be Dimitrenko pulling out, which he ofcourse most likely will do.
Jack I've never argued with your delusions of K2 graduer before......but Sanders was NEVER in peak form. He boxed as a young pro purely to supplement his income, and when he was rolling over local fighters, people began to take notice, and got him a bigger fight. He rolled Steve Zouski actually outboxing the veteran, but w/o the 1-2 rd KO, he was shipped back to the plains of Africa...while back home, he still boxed to supplement his income, but took the sport more seriously, learning how to cut off the ring, work his jab, and defend. He then went on to either KO or put a clinic on his next dozen or so opponents, including the durable Bert Cooper. Seems he was heading for glory, but took a huge step back when Nate Tubbs KOd him similarly to the way he did Wladimir. Consequently, Sanders never took boxing seriously again. He would take bigger fights, only to take a step back into the Cclass. Back and forth until Rahman, who basically ended Corrie's rise to the top. After taking a year off, he came back to murder a young Mike Sprott, an overmatched Otis Tisdale a year later, then somehow, he was chosen to be an OPPONENT for Wladimir. Obviously a stylistic nightmare, Wlad came out cold, and left even colder. It wasn't that Sanders came in top form, he never ever fought in top form, it's simply that his handspeed, superior power, and lackadaisical approach to winning offered him the opportunity to KO or be KOd by any fighter. He was a win or die trying type fighter, but NEVER taking the sport seriously to the point that he would train exclusively for boxing(roadwork, bags, circuits, sparring, etc). Perhaps you are right that he could have been so much more, but since he basically quit taking the sport seriously after Tubbs, it wasn't likely to happen. I was one of his huge fans before that loss, but I saw his decline in physique and his disappearances as proff to his lack of dedication. Perhaps he IS the HW greatest underachiever of all time.:deal
