Who Poses The Biggest Threat If Any To Wladimir Klitschko?

[GermanHitman]

Chagaev would pose a threat to fighters but i don't think wlad is one of them. Chagaev is tough but i don't see him as a threat to wlad himself. Dimitrenko has well flown under the radar thus far but soon he will EXPLODE into the scene.. Dimitrenko has a great amatuer background and is getting better in leaps and bounds. His height will be a huge advantage because he uses it well. He would personally for Wlad be much more difficult than a just above mediocre chagaev.

I got to disagree there...I his last fight Dimitrenko was floored by a totally shot Timo Hoffmann...even though Dimitrenko won that one scoring two or three knockdowns himself...But Hoffmann was way past it and still gave Dimitrenko nearly more than he could handle...Dimitrenko has good speed and decent skill,but thats it...no punch(for a heavy) and chinny...

I can understand your view, i just think dimitrenko does have a way to go... but when you say a " totally shot" hoffman.. is this the ONE AND ONLY guy that went the distance with Vitali Klitschko? That Timo Hoffman? Let's remember, Dimitrenko is still green in a sense.. he has time and natural abilities that can be given to someone speaking in terms of size. You don't start out on top.. he's a work in progress.. i think you will in the next year see him on HBO IMO.

Yep...that Timo Hoffmann and you can be sure if Hoffmann would have been in his prime like vs Klitschko(or even against Krasnqi),Dimitrenko would have lost...I've following Dimitrenkos career for quite some time and I hope he will step it up soon,but so far he evaded the bigger names succesfully...

I don't so much think it's Dimitrenko ducking bigger names as much as Klaus Peter kohl being notorious for padding really rediculously impressive records for all of his fighters before sending them into the lion's den metaphorically speaking. All the German boxing stables do that.. they work a fighter up huge in europe and then make sure that they can somewhat withstand things and then make them fight bums a little more after that.. and then they finally give the someone with half a name.

You forgot to add....and then they get knocked out

[GermanHitman]

well.. that was the case for a while.. but seeing all the euro fighters making b-lines to train in Germany.. not so much the case anymore.

Klitschkos, povetkin, valuev, chagaev, dimitrenko, solis, erdei, and many more.

I think we're dangerously close to overrating David Haye. Sure he's a natural heavyweight, but let's not forget he's a largely untested heavyweight. Sorry, but against Enzo, I saw a huge flaw in his game. The guy does this weird crouch-face-forward thing and combine that with his low left hand he is WIDE open for a quick, stiff jab. Sure he's fast and that's probably what will keep him away from such a punch, but a jab is the easiest one to throw and Wladimir Klitschko is the LAST guy you want to catch one from. He'll more than likely come in lighter like he did against Ibragimov and either dominate just the same or eventually plant a straight right on Haye's kisser. And I don't see things faring much better for him against Sam Peter. Let's just wait and see how Haye takes care of Dominick Guinn or Julius Long and go from there.

samuel peter

david haye maybe, have to see how good he can be at heavyweight

[The Fightfan]

The biggest threat now has to be Peter.Wlad did beat him very easily except the rounds he was dropped,but Peter has gotten better.He has gained better boxing ability and Wlad really has just stayed the same and untested.I would still go with Wlad though this time and he'd probably stop Peter in 8.

You are right with that...though Kohl wanted an internal stable duell between Dimitrenko and Luan Krasniqi and it was Dimitrenko who turned that down...

But lets not make this a Dimitrenko thread...Other opponents who might be a threat to Wladimir:

Vladimir Virchis:Big guy...can pack a punch and take one...though not the most skilled and too passive...,but still dangerous opponent...

Juan Carlos Gomez:Tons of talent and fast hands...seems to have management problems,a lazy work attitude and cocain problems...
