It is a very soft defense.

Since moving up Mormeck has beaten Maddalone, Oquendo and Timor Ibragimov. It's not a great resume, but the same line up of opponents was enough to get Holyfield a shot of Valuev, and he is a former undisputed cruiserweight champ as well I guess.

He will have absolutely no chance to win this fight whatsoever, and it's little more than an exhibition but what fight out there wouldn't be?

As I see it there are about half a dozen contenders coming through for 2012.

Helenius
Povetkin
Dimitrenko
Boystov

Then further down the list you have maybe Mike Perez, Tyson Fury, David Price who could start making waves in another 12-18 months.

I don't think any of the the four contenders listed above are ready for either Klitschko yet and personally am happy for them to keep fighting each other and gain experience so we have a legitimate challenger maybe late next year.

Mormeck is an easy, easy win, but it's just a stay busy fight for Wlad whilst he waits for a credible challenger to emerge from those listed above.

Best to just overlook this one and hope one of the other guys can start winning fights in impressive style and give us a better matchup later on.

Arreola, Boytsov, christ even Boswell or Tarver would have been a better choices imo

How many of them are available though and wanting to fight?


Arreola needs to prove himself again after having been demolished by Vitali, and then beaten by Adamek. He's currently fighting nobodies, by some margine worse than the likes Mormeck has been beating. At least Oquendo and Timor Ibragimov are recognisable names, who the fuck are Nagy Aguilera, Kendrick Releford and Friday Ahunanya?


Boytsov is a realistic matchup for the future, but again he's not ready at the moment so why not give him time to develop? The heavyweight division needs legit contenders and we have to give them time to emerge. I want Wald to hold off on the few unbeaten guys coming through for a while, so they are better prepared for the step up.

Boswell and Tarver are no better than Mormeck at all. Mormeck at least is a former undisputed cruiserweight champ, albiet not for long. And he's beaten better names at heavyweight than Tarver or Boswell, although admittedely not much.

At least Arreola has been active. Mormeck will have been outta the ring over a year.

I agree Boytsov would benefit from a little more time

Tarver has name value & skills & is a former undisputed light-heavyweight champ.

Can't say much to defend Boswell apart from that he has been winning (although against limited opponents)
