Haye

[Gandalf]

Haye doesn't deserve another shot, but it would be justice to see him knocked out. Wlad is the weaker of the two brothers by a considerable margin. Vitali would stomp on his younger brother and slaughter Haye.

haye doesnt deserve a title shot straight away but like it or not Haye is still the most dangerous opponent for the Klits at the minute

he has little chance of winning but more than anyone else

I think so too. Povetkin has zero chance of actually winning.
As much as I like Chambers, he has no chance either.
I'm not sure what's up with Demintriko, but he is lacking something, so I don't give him much chance either.

Most of the others are either too old, too green (Helenius) or too rusty.

Actually I would like to see Arreola vs Wladimir. That's about it though.

I wish market forces weren't driving the fight game into the ridiculous scenario where Haye gets to fight both champions, coming into the HW division from cruiser and bypassing the more deserving top ten contenders, especially since he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against Vitali. Ridiculous.

I would like to see Haye have to fight his way up through the division. Especially I would like to see Haye fight Hellenius, Arreola, Dimetrenko, Povotkin. Boytsov, Chagaev. Anyone in the top ten. For Vitali to fight Haye after his unexciting performances against Vlad, Ruiz and Valuev is just not good for boxing. It's only good for short-term profit. In this day and age no-one thinks about the long term. Us boxing fans should wise up and pull an all-out sit-down stay-away strike against this Haye vs. Vitali fight.

I also think he'd get his ass whipped a few times if he had to fight his way up. There's good talent in the heavyweight division now.

who do you think would beat him?

[Rantcatrat]

This time around people won't be fooled into thinking Haye has a chance and there will be much less excitement. Only in England people are fans still excited about Haye even after his dismal showing last time out. Haye doesn't have half the chin Adamek has and Vitali is more ruthless than Wlad, so this one won't go the distance.

Remind me again: why do we want Haye to get another pay check when he doesn't deserve it and he has no chance in this fight?

I'm not even sure who would beat him. Hellenius could, that's for sure. Arreola could. I think Adamek could (unless he is now brain damaged). Povetkin. Any of those top ten have a chance, and we'd get some real fights because Haye would come out of the closet and try to win, like he used to at cruiserweight, not just duck and dodge to survive and get paid. I'd love to see those fights. Instead, we are going to get Haye-Vitali. Snore.

Yep Provetkin and Chambers would never beat a Klit coz they cant punch

with helenius tho you never know, he has some good impressive wins, i am starting to be convinced, i used to think he was just fighting these x champs at the right time but even so he is doing a very good job

I'm not sure about arreola v Wlad, Id watch it but i think it would be a one sided beating like the rest

NO he is not. Robert Helenius is!!!! At least the finnish giant tries!
How can someone be dangerous when they are running the whole time, and not throwing any punches? Solis deserves another shot too. He was landing quite a bit till he hurt his knee/leg.

I like helenius, and i agree he could be one to challenge in the future, at the minute he is very inexperienced, IMO at the minute Haye stands more of a chance with his speed, i think both brothers would have a reasonably easy time with helenius, its a hard one to call tho

When Solis and Vitali fought i thought Solis was winning the round and that is the first time I have seen Vitali losing a round for a long time. He did hurt his leg but he was badly shaken by the punch, bad leg or not it wouldnt have lasted much longer. So does a guy who was blown away still have a better chance than haye?

Isnt solis still injured anyway?

Helenius would get battered off Haye. That I would guarantee.

I think People are getting too high on this guy beating way past their best bums. Yes he looked good beating a very worn Liakovich, but this is a guy who in his prime got beat off fucking Maurice Harris. Also it took Helenius 6 rounds to get rid of Scott Gammer FFS. Yes the same Scott Gammer who got beat off the amazing Coleman Barrett who Audley Harrison then sparked out the same night.

I know Haye hasn't got a who's who of Heavyweight boxing on his record, but for me he is way too too elusive for Helenius and "the Nordic Nightmare" takes too many shots for a big puncher like Haye not to take advantage. The Klitschko's are clearly the best in the division and they are on their own, then it is Haye and he is in the second bracket on his own IMO. I think Povetkin is next in line but against either Klitschko, I'm not sure he carries the power to worry them whereas Helenius does but he seems far too predictable and as I said easy to hit.

Helenius has been underrated so far even by the finns. But if we take a look at all his fights we surely understand he's becoming better and better all the time. He ain't slow considering his seize (6' 7" and 240 lbs). He has technic, ain't stupid, got self-discipline, hard punches with good combinations too. Even when he was beating Samuel Peter, Lamon Brewster and Siarlei Liakhovic brutally and effectively we didn't see the whole scale of Robert Heleinius. The most important thing - he will be near in future much better.

As i've mentioned before, Helenius was little bit too lazy using his left jab during that Liakhovic-fight. He addmitted it too. On the other hand his footwork, moving was much, much better than in e.g Scott Gammer-fight. Forget that Gammer-night. Even when Helenius destroyed him, that british fellow was just a bum in the ring. Liakhovic has been so far the biggest test for Helenius. He passed it well, though might have done some things much better. I find no reason why Helenius couldn't maul big mouth twat Haye too. However i prefer Helenius not wasting time to punish clowns like Haye. He and his team are planning to have 1-2 good test fights before facing mighty Klitschko.

In this moment i see Helenius hardly even 10% chance to beat Klitschko but if his development is steady he might have - let's say 30% chance to win the tittle (against Klitschko brothers). That's the upper level he will ever reach.

These guys are in ranking list above Helenius now: Povetkin, Adamek, Haye and Chambers. Haye was a clown and Adamek beaten very badly. So let's give Povetkin a chance to try it, then Chambers. When they have lost and Helenius (hopely) have won his test fights (1-2) it's his turn. It will be in late 2012 or early 2013.

In boxing a fraud needs to be knocked out. That is the justice.

It happens to all but a few in good time.
