Haye has a pretty good chance due to his power and relative speed. Next would be Odlanier Solis. It's a pretty weak division right now though.
I picked Arreola, based on styles. I believe he'd cause alot problems for Wlad with his aggressive style, and his toughness....
David Haye. I reckon he should fart about and talk crap for a couple of years first though make double sure Wlad is past it!! :yep
I don't think anyone right now, but the guys who'd at least have a shot at winning? Haye, Solis.. maybe maybe Boystov? I think a prime Ruiz would have given him fits.. with all that dirty ****.
Peter still has the best bet. He knows he can floor Wlad, and take his punch. IF it gets past 6 thought forget it. I would like to see Wlad finally establish himself as the undisputed best fighter in the division though. That is what is serisouly KILLING his legacy. He is going to go 5 years without fighting the 2nd best fighter in the division......... Keith
I didn't pick one. That's why people say Haye. If you HAVE to pick one who has the "best" chance, you might pick Haye. But I don't think any of those guys has much chance outside of a lucky punch maybe. Vitali has a chance but he is the only one. Ray Lewis and Ron Artest could never become anything other than punching bags at this stage in their lives. You need to box when you are young to become a top level fighter. Just like you have to hit pitching when you are young to play baseball at the major league level, as Michael Jordon found out when he tried baseball. He's a great athlete but you can't just become a good baseball player at a late age.
Wlad would land much harder punches though. Vitali doesn't set his weight into his punches. So Areola could get his clock cleaned early. But Chris would come forward and make it exciting, and you never know with heavyweights.
If he proves he can beat everyone other than his own brother, history will take that into account. He can't help it that his brother is the only one right now at his level.
