    Manny Steward's pick to watch for at 200+ lbs.

    ...is Robert Helenius. That's what he told me at the post presser. He was pretty impressed when he heard in how dominant fashion the Finn dismantled even a shot Lamon Brewster.
    As I told him that there's a guy who spanked Helenius ass in sparring going by the name of Kubrat Pulev he said "Who?" I told him that's a Bulgarian heavyweight who's also with Sauerland Event. I wrote him a short notice, he took the paper and left.

    Manny told me that he can't see any heavyweight on the horizon to be much competitive with the bros as of now but that a guy can put himself on the map with 2-3 quality wins and I told him that Pulev might be that guy...cheers...

      a good friend of mine and old stable mate Joe Hanks who was also one of wlads cheif sparring partners at one point is going to be the future. think of david haye but a natrual heavyweight not comming up. and i also have family that worked with wlads camp. but from the word wlads jab feels like a right hand. i gues thats why guys gameplay change up
      once they in the ring. its like someone throwing 30 40 straight rights at you

        Kubrat is 6'4 1/2 with all around skills and is being brought along very fast, in a year and a half - two years he could be the biggest threat to Klitschko.

        Helenius doesn't have the same skills but his right hand is insane and he's at least 6'6, he has to be bigger than that

            Helenius looks to have quite some power, but he looks pretty slow I think, but that may be because he's so big, we'll see how they come along but I think the brightest prospect right now is Pulev, he has also been facing quite decent competition, in fact he has a better resume than Boytsov who has twice the fights Pulev has.

            Any videos of this Joe Hank guy boxer2k5? I've never heard of him till now.

                he does but his right hand is unbelievably fast, looks like it belongs on another person. It's almost comical

                He has to be taller than 6'6 imo and he likes throwing the right to the body which is weird for such a big guy.

                2:07 for KD 4:45.

                  Pulev's most recent win. KO at 2:25 replay at 3:15

                  https://<object width="480" height="...mbed></object>


                  Pulev in his 3rd pro fight vs Gbenga Oloukun 17-2 (win over Brewster)

                  https://<object width="480" height="...mbed></object>

                  Pulev also beat Skelton in his 5th and he is only at 7 pro fights right now. Best guy with a chance to actually compete vs a Klitschko imo.
