Can any heavyweight right now beat Wladimir Klitschko?

[T-97]

Honestly, I don't think any can;

David Haye: Although we have not seen him at heavyweight yet (I don't care about Bonin, he was ****), I think he is just to open to beat Wlad, he would have to be agressive early and would have to take shots to land some. And with his chin, I don't see him taking the shots.. If he had a good chin, maybe, But he doesn't his chin is very bad. Wlad might be cautious early to avoid being caught by a big shot from Haye but i see him winning by stoppage.

Samuel Peter: Wlad already beat him, beyond any doubt. And of the 3 knockdowns, only one should be counted anyway. You may say that Peter was green at the time, Wlad wasn't long off his loss to Brewster so was lower in confidence than he would be going into a rematch. I say Wlad wins a wide ass UD or late stoppage in a rematch

Ruslan Chagaev: Chagaev might cause Wlad some problems, But i think Wlad would just control the fight with his jab, similar to the Ibragimov fight. Chagaev has a good chin, so i don't know about a KO, but i am sure Wlad would win it.

Nicolay Valuev: After seeing Valuev-Ruiz 2, I doubt Valuev would do very well. He is a big guy (Bigger than Wlad) and has a good jab, but no power to worry him, and Ruiz rocked him with a right hand. I don't see him taking a right hand or left hook from Wlad.

Alexander Povetkin: Right now, I think he is just to green and way to open to right hands to make it 12 with Wlad, let alone beat him..

Sultan Ibragimov: Already beat him, I think a rematch would be pretty much the same except Wlad would probably step it up at some point and maybe stop Iggy

And so on...

Really, I can't see any heavyweight right now beating Wlad. Thoughts?

I dont think so. They all have a puncher's chance but doubt it.

I doubt it.

Negativo.

I have to agree. It seems unlikely that Wladimir will be beaten again anytime soon.

how about Chris Arreola??

David Haye has the best shot imo but we need to see him fight again at Heavweight before jumping to conclusions.

One things for certain is that any fighter with power has at least a chance to Knock W-Klit the **** out.


(this really says a lot about the current state of the heavweights if no one is better then the giant bumbling goof)

how about Chris Arreola??

A punchers chance, But from what I have seen of him he is open and would get tagged by Wlad easily, and probably stopped.

great post, that really sums things up very well,

Great post T. Nice analysis to which I agree on for the most. The biggest adversaries he'll have, besides Vitali, is Valuev and Haye.

Valuev because of the sheer size.

Haye because of his niftiness and punch. And his talk. Who knows if Haye is able to get under Wlad's skin? That could work for Haye if he could do that (Ali-Foreman pre-fight style). I just hope Haye takes a couple of lesser HW fights before going in with Wlad. The fight has the potential to be HUGE.

recently though wlad hardly even throws any punches. I think the best strategy to fight him is to just rush him early and brawl with him. He panics everytime someone punches him and freaks out.

I dont care much for Arreola. People salivate over the thought of an exciting HW Champ because the division is so ****ty at the moment which is probably the only reason Arreola's even talked about.

Nothing he does impresses me.
