    Harrison's only problem is he's a coward who can't take a punch or hit that hard.

    If it wasn't for that he'd be top tier.

    Audley Harrison has all the tools required to be world heavyweight champion. The only thing holding him back is that he is ****ing terrible at boxing. If it wasn't for that, he could've been quite good at boxing.

    I would say either Wladimir or Chagaev. Despite his recent injuries Chagaev has shown a chin, skill, power, and the ability to fight 12 hard rounds. His recent wins seem a bit more quality then Klitschko's, but Klitschko has the better overall resume. Either way I think a fight between these two is necessary.

    Wladimir is a great fighter and the best at the moment hes beaten mercer, peter, brewster,byrd twice ibragimov schulz, botha the guy is a monster anybody can lose and unfortantly he has three times but he had the mental strength to keep going and the belief to reach the top again when people where saying he should retire after he fought brewster. I think he would be able to hang with any heavyweight ever. His faults are he can be a bit negative and his chin but even then i dont think he is as china jawed as the anti klitchko crowd claim he is. He can still take a bit of a punch and i believe his defence and size allied with his power make aiming a punch at him a daunting prospect in the first place

    Wlad technically-wise and by KO-power. Vitali has a comeback also if he doesn't get injured. Vitali is the fighter, Wlad is the boxer. Both are No.1 in a heavyweight division which lacks strong competition. I don't believe in Povetkin or "talk is cheap" Haye...

    Also i think that nicolia valuev is a descent fighter wladimir views the beast from the east as a major threat to his championship status. The heavyweights of today are pretty good. The problem is there russian and the eastern europeans hevent got the loudmouths of past champions to promote them as merciless killing machines which is what the public want that is why tyson was so popular fans want to see savagery in the ring and fighters like wladimir althougth highley skilled and dangerous dont possess that air of instabilty what the fans crave.
