Where Does Helenius Rank After His Shocking KO of Peter???

hard to say, i think he had an off nite last nite. the power is there, but, he obviously is a way better fighter than he demonstrated last nite

 

Yeah, I think that's reasonable actually. It's a good victory.

 

I think if he's in the top 10, it should be at the bottom. This was a good win for him, the best of his career, but it was a very lackluster performance up until the ko.

The showed a good chin and excellent power at the end which, in this Heavyweight division, could take him quite far. I thought he looked too lazy though, his jab was awful at times and I think the spectacular ko kind of papered over the cracks.

I wouldn't rank him above Povetkin, Solis and probably not Arreola either. If Chambers is going to continue fighting at Heavy, I'd certainly rank him above him too.

 

How the **** did he get in the top 10 in the first place?


Helenius is @#6 in my book.

 

I would have to agree. He got the KO and was impressive doing it. Still have to say...It was only Peter. Peter is losing it, coming in at his heaviest weight. Still, can't take anything away from Helenius, he won and got the KO. Respect for that. Helenius should be ahead of Odlanier Solis obviously! Ahead of Tomasz Adamek & Alexander Povetkin, not sure about that, I would have him 6th behind Povetkin. Change spots 5 & 6 and I would agree 100%.

Just my thoughts.

Peace

 

Who did Solis beat to get such consideration. How many former world champs and contenders did he beat again?

I got Robbe WAAAAAY ahead of Solis, and if Solis can get healthy, and Robbe can get through Dimitrenko and Chambers, then he and Solis should have an eliminator for the WBC to fight Vitali next summer.

 

Wlad/Vitali
Haye/Adamek/Solis
Povetkin/Chambers
Helenius/Dimitrenko
Boytsov/Arreola/Thompson

 

Correct. I would think 6th spot would be correct. :good

 

If you are losing after 9 rounds to a 260lbs Sam Peter you are not very good at boxing.

 

I'm willing to bet that as soon as Helenius fights a Klitschko, he'll have a devastating ko loss on his record too.

An undefeated record is only as impressive as the guys you've beaten to get it. Don't get me wrong, this was a good victory for Helenius but, up until the ko, I was really underwhelmed by his performance.

Whatever his record, I haven't seen anything to suggest he's better than the likes of Arreola, Chambers or Solis. I'd like him to prove me wrong though and a guy with his kind of power can always make waves in the Heavyweight division.
