    Which fighter is more likely to come up in weight and dethrone the Klitschkos

    I know most people are gonna say david haye but he is already legitamately a heavyweight since he has already had a heavyweight fight, but with tomasz adamek coming up in weight and hopkins having previously discussed it and rjj having gone up to heavyweight. which fighter is more likely to go up in weight and dethrone if not both one of the brothers?

    If Dawson could take punches, I would say him. He has enough movement and would back pedal and make it hard for Vitali, who has crap footwork to hit him.

    BUT that being said, I don't think anyone could go 12 with Vitali if he is fit. Also I don't think anyone could get away from Wlads jab either and take it.

      If no Heavyweight can do it, or even come close. How is a LHW/Cruiser going to do it?

      None of them can.

        I can guarantee that b-hop is banking on a Haye win over Valuev. If and only if that happens, b-hop will only take that fight at heavyweight. With that said...the only fighter remotely close to coming up in weight to challenge one of them is Adamek. He won't dethrone either because if U.S.S. rocked him at cruiserweight, both will slaughter him at heavy. His come forward aggressive style has brutal 1st round TKO written all over it.

          I have to say that Vitali has brilliant footwork for a heavyweight...and he's already 38...

            Your probably right but thats why im asking who has the best chance. You gotta also remember I mean you just saw chubby Arreola go 10 rounds with Vitali and I think there are fighters underneath heavyweight that could decision or even stop a guy like Arreola.

              Interesting question. I'd still answer Haye as until the Valuev fight at least he still hasn't had a test at HW and is very much still 'coming up' IMHO. He is also much more of a natural HW than anyone else likely to move up. I don't think either even a younger B-Hop or Adamek would have much chance; they have the talent but just aren't big enough. They might take out the likes of Peter, ruiz and even Chambers but not the Klitschkos, they would just be out muscled by naturally bigger guys who have plenty of skill and (relatively speaking) speed themselves.

              I still have a sneaking feeling it will actually be Povetkin who does the 'dethroning' when he gets the chance.

                who knows povetkin might fight wladimir next but chambers is probably get the shot first.

                  Imo Haye is the only one who has a remote shot at doing it. If he can get his head outa his ass and control his big ego.
