    How much longer do you think Wladimir will reign at Heavy?

    Does anyone see anybody beating Wladimir right now? Either current guys or anyone coming through?

    Personally I'm not sure that I can. Wladimir's chin problems are overstated IMO and he is technically definately the best Heavy in the game today. Although his brother is my favourite heavy right now I can't help but admire the technical brilliance of this guy. Sure he has a tendency to fight pretty careful but he has all the tools there if he needs them. Add to that the fact that he is ultra-professional, still young for a Heavy and seems to be very driven and it is tough to see him getting beat for quite some time.

    Once Vitali decides to fully retire, I see Wladimir pretty much dominating this division for quite some time.

    So do you guys think there is anyone out there that can beat him? If so, who is it and why?

      Obviously Nik is in both a class and division of his own so this topic was meant to exclude him. Try to keep up.

          If Haye doesn't, then Wlad will retire as undisputed champ with all of the belts (assuming he continues to fight after Vitali retires and takes his belt too).

                I don't see anybody at HW currently or potentially comin up from LHW or CW that could take him. The whole glass jaw thing has become irrelevant the last few yrs since his defense and jab usage has improved.

                  wlad doesnt impress me at all. skills are way overrated. to me he is a basic fighter. he wouldnt even have been a contender in the 90's. he's lookin like robot in all the fights iv seen him... way to predictable.

                  too bad none the contenders are good enough. haye could beat him but he's going after vitali.
