Dude, you could wait a decade, it'll never happen. First off, there's a big difference between a heavyweight champion and a title holder. Lots of second-tier fighters have been belt holders from Briggs to Lahavoic (sp) to Valuev. But Helenius will never be a heavyweight champion. He'll never be the best guy in the division, which, sadly, is the only way we can define the champion since unification is all but impossible these days.
Could very well happen. Pulev has the better chances though. And I wouldn´t count Boytsov out either. Either Helenius or Pulev will knock Wlad from the throne in 2-3 years.
He whas a fair chance of becoming the undisputed champion, the first one to unify the WBU, WBF, IBA and the lineal boxing news magazine belt!!
Haha, now you mention, they do look alike. Both have quasi the same body, not too packed not too flabby, just weird (and they are baldies)
so why did you ask a question if you already think you have an answer good body puncher for his hieght and weight and length to him. looks pretty feeble. i'm sure we'll see a stout heavy will throw a big right hand over his jab and finish him. got good skills though. he aint becoming champ though just to make clear.
I think it is too early to tell. He struggled with his previous opponent - Gbenga so I am not sure what to make of this.
