Which fighters out there are an honest threat to Wlad's title?

I agree about Chagaev, he appears to be an inteligent fighter with good chin and decent power. Peter on the other hand, I am quite pessimistic, I need to see him against a quality opposition before making a final judgement. The first time they fought Klitschko was completely timid due to his fresh loss to Brewster. With a rather gained confidence he will outbox Peter's ears off again.

In a year or two I would give Povetkin a good chance to beat Klitschko though.

 

It's Wlad, so you never know for sure, but yeah, Chagaev and Peter seem to be the only real threats. But I'd still pick Wlad to beat them both.

 

Ruslan Chagaev
Samuel Peter
Alexander Povetkin - in a year or two

 

I would say

1) Chagaev
2) Peter
3) Ibragimov
4) Valuev

Although in the long run, Alexander Povetkin will be the greatest threat to Wlad.

 

I have a question...

Why would anyone want Peter beating Klitschko? Seriously why??

It would be terrible for the boxing division.. because we all know Klitschko has a million zillion times the boxing skills Peter could ever dream of having.. and that if Peter DID win it would be on a lucky punch landing and knocking Klitschko down/out. I'm sure some Wlad haters would love that.. but in hindsight.. in the big picture of it all.. do you really want Sam Peter as "the heavyweight champ"? An extremely limited fighter, who can't even speak english, with the most annoying ****ing management in recent history (Duva and co). He's like a different version of Lamon Brewster.. all punch and chin, no skills.

That said.. noone right now as an honest shot at being Wladimir.. the only person I could see doing it is his own brother and that aint happening so.. :hat

Nah, I think Peter was a vastly improved boxer in the second fight. He placed and timed his shots better, he seemed quicker, better stamina, decent jab. In their first, all peter was, was an ugly slugger. he could be outboxed incredibly easily. Now, he may not be anything special as a boxer, but he has a good grip of the basics.

I think Wlad is also a better fighter. More relaxed, better defence and more open to other punches other than his jab and cross.

Both men have imrpoved, but Wlad is still by far the better boxer. If they fought again, I'd expect Peter to be stopped late.
