    It never ceases to amaze me when certain posters make post after post telling all how **** the HW division is only to then say Arreola vs a Klitschko again is a great fight.


    :huh

    A rematch of a fight he dominated.

    Not his fault but what an awful list of challengers.

    Well that's what happens when you've cleaned out a division. Until the next batch of prospects is ready to step up, we'll get these kind of fights.

    Even though they are both shot & haven't fought for years, i'd rather see Puritty & Sanders have a tune-up each, then fight each other, then Wlad fights the winner & gets revenge for a bad loss. Whereas with Thompson, he never gave Wlad any trouble the first time around, so the rematch is totally meaningless. :-(

    Can't believe anyone would vouch for an arreola fight, he lost to adamek lol. Until he can actually beat a top 15 fighter he should be nowhere near wlad.

    Chisora
    Fury
    Helenius
    Povetkin

    Arreola is probably only being considered because he brings in (latino) US money. Not because he's a great challenger.

    Guys like Fury or Helenius (at this point) bring in next to no money compared to Arreola.

    Wlad should look to wipe out all the up and comers (Price, Helenius, Fury etc) in the hope that he beats someone who goes on to rule the division. This is the only thing he can do to improve his legacy. A win over Arreola does nothing

    The big reason I hate the heavyweight division isn't the K-bros. It's everyone in the top 10 who hasn't fought eachother. In order to get higher up in the ranks you need to fight a fighter who is above you in ranking simple as that.

    No your wrong HBO will not be showing any Wlad fights. Wlad needs to give some of the up and coming fighters a chance. Thompson Claims he has a plan to hit Wlad on his weak chin. And to be honest Arreola has a real chance of beating Wlad if he comes in shape. I've already emailed Thompson and told him to get Nady to ref there fight so Wlad can't cheat and hold.

    Wlad is scared to death of Helenius. I know Helenius lost to Chisora but he showed a lot of heart. He had a hurt arm but he didn't quit like Vitali. Peter and Brewster both said that Helenius hits harder than Wlad and he also has a better chin. My guess is Wlad gets Vitali to fight Helenius to protect his weak chin.
