Heavyweight Fight Schedule

[TheBoxingFanatic]

December 1st is an interesting day for HW contenders with Fury-Boytsov/Chageav-Perez. Winner Vs Winner if Fury-Boytsov doesn't get Klitschko title shot.

Wladimir Klitschko-Alexander Povetkin could happen in early 2013. The WBA declared they have to fight by Feb 27.

Klitschko vs. Povetkin Could Be in Play For Early 2013 - Boxing News

Been waiting for that for quite some time....Povetkin will probably run away again. Honestly I'm not sure if there's a top 10 heavyweight that Povetkin could beat these days. I would favor Seth Mitchell over him

what happens when wladimir beats him :S does wladimir become normal wba champion again aswell as super champion what do the wba do then? upgrade the normal belt to super belt and the current super belt to super duper belt and then create another normal belt that rahman can have a shot at ?... wladimir could be the first man ever to hold 4 wba belts if this keeps u for the rest of his career :S

The most talented heavyweight most people have never heard of Bogdan Dinu is fighting this weekend. Here he is:

Artur Szpilka vs. Mike Mollo is in the works for early 2013 in Chicago.

I've to kind of disagree with McCline here. Jameel says he expects the fight to last the distance...I dont' see it happening. Wach is big, and he's seemed sturdy vs recent opponents, but hell a couple fights ago Wach was fighting a guy that used to spar in the gym I went to. That's not to tear down Jonathan Haggler, I mean he's a super nice guy but the best he's ever been is a sparring partner for Wlad when he was preparing for Chagaev.

I expect as always to see Wlad be controlling with the jab and if Wach tries to muscle up on him then Wlad is going to be quicker on his feet. Wach seems a bit too clumsy to be dangerous to Wladimir, I think Wlad has the quicker, shorter, more precise punches and that should win the day easily. I say Wladimir KO 5-7.

I think the most interesting fight in the heavyweight division is Arreola vs Stiverne. This should be a barn burner, a fight of the year candidate. Arreola & Stiverne have big power, little defense, rudamentary boxing skills and really in a perfect world this will be another Foreman vs Lyle. I think more promoters ought to look at this fight and see if they can't put together styles that benefit each other like this one does.

I think Jonathan Banks vs Seth Mitchell is a solid match, Boytsov vs Fury is ok, Wilder vs Price is a strong matchup...there's alot to be excited about for the heavyweights.

That's Boystov simply saying hes scared. He needs to fight somebody good to try and get to the title and Fury would be perfect for that. No doubt if this fight does happen they would try and get the fight in Europe somewhere. They don't want to risk Boystov getting sparked out on foreign soil and then become a nobody.

James Toney wants to fight Tyson Fury:

World Boxing News: James Toney makes final plea to face Tyson Fury

Multi-champ James Toney has made one last ditch appeal to Tyson Fury to fight him following the news that Denis Boystov has fallen out as Fury's opponent on December 1 in Belfast.

"This guy Fury keeps saying he can't find a name opponent. He's dodging me because he and his team know I will flatten him. I have been in serious training and am in tip top shape to fight Fury in his own backyard," Toney told World Boxing News.

"I'm a bigger name to the boxing public than any of these fighters Fury has been trying to line up. What excuse is team Fury going to come up with now to avoid me?"

Toney's agent Steve Tannenbaum weighs in: "Mick Hennessy and I can close a Toney-Fury bout in 24 hours. I will grant Mick a rematch clause in the contract and will also give him an option to promote Toney's next bout after he defeats Fury.

"What more can we possibly offer from our side to make this fight happen? Toney is the biggest name out there for Fury other than a title fight with one of the Klitschko brothers."
