Just because Wlad made it look easy to beat him and just because he quit vs Vitali, which IMO he redeemed himself from with his efforts vs Nagy Aguilera and vs Wlad who he tried hard to land punches on but he couldn't close distance.
He's not a bad fighter, yes he did suffer from being lazy in a few bouts, but I think he's still a serviceable heavyweight and he could earn another title shot if he keeps training hard and keeps his weight in the 235-241 range. I just think Helenius is a bit green and at 14 (9 KO)-0-0 with his biggest wins to date being vs an old one eyed Lamon Brewster who accused Helenius of loading his wraps and former Valuev punching bag Taras Bidenko I just don't see it being an easy fight.
Helenius is not always in phenomenal shape himself and say what you will about Sam Peter, the guy is durable.
