Re: Helenius is huge
My thoughts about Helenius: he has mowed down European level guys who aren't horrible(relatively speaking). He has beaten up former beltholders who are on the downside. AFter a couple of in their prime top 10 guys it will be time for him to face Wlad or Vitali. He has a decent punch and he is a big guy. He has a better chance than most.
I think the problem for him is when to take on Vitali or Wlad. If I were going to face Vitali, it would be 18 months from now, when his body will not likely be able to keep going. He has to fall apart sometime as old as he is. Wlad turns 36 in March. How long before he declines? No one knows. The longer the better.
Povetkin is making a career out of not facing Wlad. I wouldn't go that far if I'm Helenius, but I wouldn't rush into the ring with either in the next 9 months. I'd get as ready as possible.

doesn't it seem that Helenius is the only contender that has been on an upward arc while Povetkin, Dimitrenko, Boystov, have all gone sideways.

he hasn't gone anywhere but when you have hand issues it is understandable. Dimitrenko and Povetkin- it is a joke. You have to face better fighters, get ready, and then go after a Klitschko. Not sit around and just take paydays against so so fighters.

Dimitrenko's confidence took a dent after the Chambers fight, he's slowly working his way back up the ladder.
Povetkin who the frock knows what's going on with him.

Povetkin must keep failing that real estate exam that Teddy makes him sit
