Wlad will fight anyone. You mentioned Pulev, and guess what? Pulev is the leading contender to fight Wlad next, as is Boystov.
The dude fought David Haye, who is far and away the most dangerous and second best HW in the world not named Klitschko.
Povetkin? That dude literally ducked Wlad for like five YEARS, the reason that fight didn't happen for so long was nothing b/c of Klitschko.
Helenius sucks, he used to have a lot of potential, but then he fought Del Boy Chisora and won a complete robbery he easily got beat in, and has looked like a complete boring bum ever since.
I don't care for Klitschko, although I also don't dislike him. Still, it's not his fault the HW division is filled with fat, bad fighters that end up in mandatory positions. He'll fight whoever, that's never been in question. To say anyone would duck Robert Helenius is laughable.
Wilder is the one who hasn't stepped up his competition and Fury has a match against David Haye. Winner gets Wlad. Povetkin was Wlads last opponent and he is the third best heavyweight untio proven otherwise.
All the current top lot cherrypick .... they bring shame upon the past greats.
Ali fought 5 times a year and only the very best boxers. Sugar Ray Robinson fought 5 times in one month and had had hundreds of fights as a professional and hundreds as an amateur.
Shame on these millionaire useless sportsmen in boxing today. They are killing the sport.
Old age and easy payday's are a tough combination for a fighter to avoid. I still think David Tua, now approaching the ripe old age of 60 or so, would be a serious threat to Wlad.
Fury?! LOL, Wlad would take Fury out in a matter of rounds.
I believe Wlad is cherry picking his opponents because he is at a bit of a low in terms of training, and him choosing his opponents helps him to secure his titles.
I don't think he is. Povetkin was recognized as the best Heavyweight not named Klitschko, and that's who he fought...the best available Heavyweight. If you look at your 5 favorite fighters...or the top 5 pound for pound there will be atleast one guy in there that people will feel was easy. Wlad deserves one every now and then too.
Wladimirs last 3 opponents were undefeated top contenders.
Some of the guys you mentioned are next in line. Wladimir will destroy any and all of them like before.
I don't think Wladimir will beat Fury.
I don't like Fury, but Wladimir oozes weakness, why does he always hold when he fights smaller fighters. Uses his reach to jab and then hold hold hold. You think he will be able to do that with Fury who is taller? No chance.
Wladimir's technique is jab and hold, jab right and hold, and so on and so on. But a fighter like Fury will not be so eas to do that against.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
next is Boytsov most likely...
Why not try someone like Helenius, Pulev, Fury, Wilder, Glaskov - they surely have better chance? I understand wilder and glaskov are still young and lack experience but there's no excuse for pulev and helenius.
