Comments Thread For: Derek Chisora Approached To Fight Wladimir Klitschko

[appollo33]

I dont get people hating on Wlad, dude has a PhD outside the ring and is one of the smartest boxers in the world. Dude is always nice to his opponents and takes care of them and doesnt resort to **** talk to hype up fights or bring down his opponents. He is staying very active and instead of ducking people he is sending out letters to all the HW offering them a fight with him, more people need to look up to him about the way he is taking care of business. He was mean to David Haye but that was warranted because of the way Haye keeps ducking the brothers and talking crap outside the ring. If you ever look at how Wlad treats his opponents after he wins he always goes and talks to them to make sure they are okay and never talks crap about them at the post fight interview and gives them their props for stepping into the ring with them.

There is not a whole lot of guys out there who want to face the brothers and they are trying to fight anyone they can while staying busy. Then the other fighters complain they dont have the experience and dont want to fight they brothers. We'll its their fault that they fight once a year and expect to be the top dogs.

I hope someone like Boytsov, Haye, Povetkin mans up and faces Wlad. Im liking their stay at the top, couldnt have asked for two better champs both inside and outside the ring.

Great post man, but as always haters are there to hate, no matter how obvious K2 greatness inside and outside the ring is!

Since Haye and Povetkin are not willing to fight, I see only two better names.

Nr. 1 is Tomasz Adamek who is a former cruiserweight world champion and recently defeated top-rated Chris Arreola.

Nr 2. is an European Union champion Robert Helenius. He just defeated Brewster, then the Nigerian guy who also defeated Brewster, Taras *****ko and unbeaten Gregory Tony.

I could think of a few others Wlad could fight: Denis Boytsov, Odlanier Solis, Francesco Pianeta, Oleh Platov, Alexander Ustinov all would sell well in Germany.

Why any of them would be any better then Chisora?

Fight against Ustinov could be interesting, but isn't he signed with K2?

I hope someone like Boytsov, Haye, Povetkin mans up and faces Wlad.

Haye and Povetkin both had at least two chances to fight Klitschkos. They simply don't want to fight. But why Boytsov should get a title shot? What is his biggest win until now? Taras *****ko? Or Jason Gavern? ;-)

since mormeck turned the december date down,i just heard tua,solis,& a rematch with tony thompson are the leading canidates other then chisora....chisora is not anywhere close to being ready.he might as well give tyson fury or tye fields a shot if chisora is the choice.

Tua or Thompson would be an interesting fight as well, I agree. Both are evry experienced and for both it may be the last title shot. Solis is just lacking experience. He should fight another top-rated guys first.

[Earl-Hickey]

This is a decent fight imo, at least Wlad gives a young up-and-comer a shot

[Dave Rado]

I want to be mad about this fight, but who else is out there that Klitschko can fight that will actually fight him right now.

Has Solis been approached? Dimitrenko? Boytsov? Any of those would be far more credible than Chisora.

[Dave Rado]

But why Boytsov should get a title shot?

Because he's a top 10 fighter, whereas Chisora is not.

[FloydTBE]

Chisora should defo take the fight

[Dave Rado]

+1 although Wlad needs some NAMES, I think Chisora would be a tougher (if such exist right now for Wlad) fighter than Tua right now... He clearly doesn`t have Tuas` power, but he looks more aggressive and mobile. Boytsov and Solis would also be good fights...

I agree about Chisora being better than a shot Tua. I think Boytsov, Solis and Dimitrenko would all be more credible opponents than Chisora right now. And Mormeck would be even less credible than Chisora.

I agree about Chisora being better than a shot Tua. I think Boytsov, Solis and Dimitrenko would all be more credible opponents than Chisora right now. And Mormeck would be even less credible than Chisora.

Boytsov has just a good record. He`s a good puncher, he might have a good future (he`s really young right now). I would like to see Wladimir fight him. The point is I guess Denis` promoters will hardly let him fight any Klitschko so early...

I`m happy to see Wlad fighting Solis as soon as the latter gives away 30-40 pounds...

As for Dmitrenko - I`m Ukrainian, but I don`t like him... He`s reckless, he has a bad defense and he was demolished by Chambers... Don`t like this fight...

As for Mormeck I absolutely agree with you.

[Jim Jeffries]

Has Solis been approached? Dimitrenko? Boytsov? Any of those would be far more credible than Chisora.

Solis and Boytsov yes. Dimitrenko was utterly obliterated by Chambers to the point where you questioned whether he was cut out for any kind of contact sport. No one wants to see him fight Wlad until he redeems himself.

What we need to have is more fights among top contenders like Solis and Boytsov. That way at least Wlad gets some credit for beating the winners.
