When the Klitschkos and Haye retire, who will be the heavyweight titleholders?

[2Fast]

Aerolla?? Lol have anyone of you seen Boystov fight? He is the future of the HW division and unlike the Klitschko's he is not boring or clumsy.

I don't think Vitali is boring, nor do I think Wladimir is clumsy.

I'm not sure why everyone does it but please try refering to the Klitschko's individually as opposed to seeing them as the same fighter.

It Fury is the future of the HW after the Klits then we may as well switch off now.....

Atleast Tyson Fury is exciting to watch, unlike Klit.

I think Eddie Chambers can win a belt, he's still only like 28... pulev, price, helenius are all older or at the same age if i remember correctly.

You didn't find the Vitali-Arreola fight interesting? That was the highest rated HBO fight of the year by the way. Arreola made Vitali fight masterfully to win that one and to call it boring is an injustice.

Thats the fault of the klits. With their contracts if you beat me you have to fight my brother type of ****. Or Wlad not wanting to fight Haye and said he should fight his brother. Or after Wlad losing to Sanders instead of rematching him he let his brother to the dirty work.

So yeah I will look at the klits as one boring clumsy boxer.

It was thanks to Arreola that it was the highest rated HBO fight of the year, he brought in the Mexican fans. If he fought anybody else with a title like Haye, it would have been the same numbers who watched it.

Vitali is somewhat exciting, atleast for a heavyweight. Theres other heavyweights who are more exciting and P4P... Vitali ain't even close to being one of the most exciting fighters.

Wlad however is just boring. Doesn't matter how you twist or how many KO's he has, he is still boring. One of the few fighters who is boring even when he wins by KO. He plays it safe, takes no risks, pretty much only throws the jab for most of the fight and then stops his opponent late.

Ok, I view your mind as one dimensional based on your posts.

Povetkin cant beat the Klitschkos and is too old to wait around for Wlad to go. Boystov is the only name thrown around now that will be in his prime when Wlad retires (I imagine he'll fight another 4-5 years?) outside of Fury, who i'm not sold on.

I'm not really caring about most of these guys. Rakhim Chakhkiyev, Deontay Wilder, Lenroy Thompson (watch for him in the next Olympics) and a lot of amateur guys are the ones in line to take the throne from Wlad.

Also.... why the **** did Robert Cammarelle never go pro? According to wikipedia the dude is 31!

I wouldn't mind being labelled as boring as long as I was successful, but to say every fight they are in is boring is really unfair.

The real fact is that the opposition is so outmatched that the fights come off as boring. When the Klitschko's are pushed they become exciting. See the Lewis-Vitali and the Wladimir-Peter I fights for a reference.

You can only be as good as your opponent unfortunately.

On that note, maybe Solis can make Vitali look exciting. Perhaps he can bring out the best in the elder Klitschko in his first title attempt.

I disagree. No one was complaining when Mike Tyson was KOing outmatched competition. I think the problem is that Wlad and to a lesser degree Vitali just fight in a style that isn't what Americans want to see out of heavyweights.

With heavyweights, Americans want to see one-punch KOs and guys landing bombs on each other like crazy with little mind paid to defense. I am not saying Wlad and Vitali don't deliver that, but they do it in a different way. Wlad has said he is aware that people think he's boring, and it doesn't concern him.

Some guys at work watched Vitali-Arreola, and the next day were like "Dude, that russian guy was so much bigger than Arreola, why did he keep running away from him??"
