    :good

    Shame, he had some blazing hands for a heavy, and for a tall one at that. Also appeared to have some nice pop too, I thought he really had a chance.

    Yeah he was the most talented HW in a long time not to go pro and certainly my favourite. Him and Lezin as pros would have been interesting. Both 6'4 southpaws interestingly, very different styles though.

    You can disregard Price, Towers and Dallas unless they decide that they want to fight somebody. You have guys like Helenius who have already beaten Brewster and Peter in 15 fights, guys like Pulev who have beaten former contenders in Skelton and Guinn, and young guns like Fury and Chisora who will probably fight each other.

    Between Price, Towers, Dallas, and throw in Deontay Wilder from America, the best win was Price's win over Osborn Machimana.

    They are being left behind.

    Bumping thread.......Since people seem to be bumping dead threads today, figured I'd bump a live one.

    Helenius has since beaten yet another former titlist, in dominating Ko fashion per usual and looks to be lining himself up for the Euro title, which IMO, Dimitrenko will drop quicker than Bowe to avoid the Nordic Nightmare.

    We are all hoping the Holyfield fight fall through since no one wants to see Evander taken out on a stretcher. Not even his haters IMO.

    Sure hope Robbe can get Chagaev to take the December date. Heard he's in shape, better than he was for Potvetkin, and he is still looking to make some noise. Here's hoping Ruslan still has some touch left in his gloves, and can give Robbe a stiffer test than Peter, Liakovich, Brewster, Gammer, Bydenko, Levin, etc etc etc.
    It'd be 1 more former champ down, and two more to go on his road to Undisputed HWCotW!:deal

    I think soon Helenius, Price, Fury, Wilder will be ready to step up at least one or two of them could be a good test for Wladimir or even Vitali if he is still around. The Klitschkos have cleared out the division but the next wave is comming.

    Both David Rodriguez 6'5 250, 35-0 33KOs and Seth Mitchell 6'2 240, 23-0 17KOs have the kind of KO power in both hands like a young voracious Tyson......neither however have been so graced as to get step up fights since the pretenders have mostly refused to allow them the opportunity to show their talents.
    Mitchell is finally getting a top 20 in Dec, Timur Ibragimov(never stopped in 34 fights) and will likely shine in his HBO debut against the tough eastern bloc fighter. Tiggy has good power himself, but is slow to the punch, at least from what I saw against Mormeck, but takes a helluva shot to get his own punches off. IMO, Mitchell will exploit this, and unless his chin turns into Kirkland-like crumbs, Mitchell will be the 1st to T/KO Tiggy.

    Rodriguez is still looking for Arreola(content to fight absolute nobodies), Banks(same) and Boystov(same), Fury(same) to answer his calls. More than likely, el Nino will get a fight with a K2 before he can grow up in the ring against top 50s, and the lack of experience will shorten his night against Vitali whom Rodriguez is rated #5 against.

    Like I said earlier in the thread, Robbe could be ready for a K2 in 2012/2013, but does he want to risk his 0 so early in his HW journey. IDK, if I'm him, I'm waiting for just a bit more seasoning. Maybe 5-6 more fights.

    Price and Fury are chinnier than even some of the weaker old american HWs....they'll be KOd as soon as they fight a power puncher who aint 260lbs.

    As becoming HWCotW that is!:deal
    Szpilka is the real deal IMO, but too small to compete with the bigger solid bearded guys IMO. Would love to see him spark Fury or Price out though:good

    I think when the dust has settled guys like Price, Fury, Helenius and maybe Wilder are going to be good wins on his resume. Maybe even Vitali's if he decides to stick around that long. I would not favor them over the Klitschkos but I think they will be good or very good heavyweights.

    Once the Klitschko's retire any one of them could be the hw champ.
