Wladimir must be sitting happy on his throne

Helenius might have a chance. The other 2 are no hopers.

 

I wonder what the plan is for Wladimir's next fight. If Vitali beats Adamek, then Arreola?

Povetkin will probably duck and Helenius and Fury are too green for Wlad.

The only other potential opponent I can think of is Dimitrenko. May as well be Arreola.

Helenius should be matched with Dimitrenko. This fight would be a war. I'd also enjoy Helenius vrs. Fury.

 

I think Wladdy is taking a close look at Helenius. Don't get me wrong, Wlad wins this if they were to fight in the immediate future, but he is looking at potentially the best combination of big, hard hitting, and good since Sanders.

 

Rumors are that Vlad will fight Tarver or possibly Wilder if the money is right. Wilder is a hero in America and would be a big money fight.

 

Absolut true. Wlad can be very happy.

 

Helenius is promising but he is slow and has real sloppy footwork imo. Watching him against Liakhovic he looks miles away from Wladimir.

 

Vitali and Vlad can't be beaten by any heavyweight living today. I think the WBA sub-title is a good thing so we can see the best under them fighting each other so as to create a good opponent for either Vitali or Vlad in the near future. The money for Vlad right now is with Wilder at MSG, NY.

 

I do not disagreew ith you- but Wlad is a cautious guy who does not like to take big punches.

 

Happy? None of these three guys are potential opponents for Wlad anytime soon IMO.

Fury is way too green to even be considered a challenger. He won't be ready in the next 2-3 years as he's way too young and underdeveloped. Helenius, Povetkin are 'off limits' as they're Sauerland fighters. Sauerland won't send them to the chopping block against either K brother.

The only hope is that there's some rule within the WBA that Povetkin must fight Wlad within 18 months, if both guys still hold their belts until then.

 

On paper, Povetkin has always posed the biggest threat to Wladimir, including Adamek and Haye. Bottom line: Povetkin has a better heavyweight resume than either of them.

 

The only person that every stood a chance was Haye. With him gone forget it! they are unbeatable!!!!

 

A fight with Wilder doesn't make any sense right now, he has fought nobody. Tarver would be ok as a stay busy fight, I guess, although it's a mismatch too.

 

Very weak era.
Actually if Solis could get his act and weight, together would prob have the best chance.
