Well if a retired boxer (or one that has just taken an ass whuppin) is too easy for him and the Klitschko's are too big of a step up then logic suggests he fight someone in between. Dimitrenko, Povetkin, Chagaev, Boytsov, Chambers, Thompson, Arreola, etc. If Helenius wants a title shot then eventually he's going to have to take on fighters not coming off of losses (like Sam Peter and Sergei Lyakhovich).
I know it is never going to happen but I'd like to see Helenius in with Haye. He would have his chin tested then and to be honest I think he would fail. Haye was scared against Wlad because he just couldn't get off. Numerous times he used very good footwork that would have got him in vs pretty much anyone else but everytime he looked for Wlad there was no one there and to make things worse the jab was. Helenius would not prove such a mobile and hard to catch fighter and if he couldn't hit Haye, he wouldn't hit Wlad much either. Not because Wlad is as fast on his feet as Haye or anything like that but because Wlad is a better boxer and has tuned his natural attributes very well now.
