**** yeah the Nordic Nightmare may shake things up a bit. Love to see him fight Chambers, Povetkin, or maybe Tony Thompson

i think he beats adamek right now.

Damn, bumped off my boy Pulev, though he definitely deserves it after sparking out Peter. Well he just beat one nightmare, he should fight Arreola next.

I think Helenius would beat most the guys in the top ten not named Klitschko.

He needs to work on his defense and agility a bit however.

Pulev is at #11 now.

He may be fighting Ray Austin on May 7. Sauerland is trying to get him a WBC ranking.

Any of those guys would make for interesting fights with Helenius.

But Povetkin won't fight a live opponent, and Chambers is waiting for the winner of Thompson-Harris, which is on ESPN on May 27.

Helenius needs to continue to fight often and he will likely keep improving. Veteran fringe contenders like Timor Ibragimov and Fres Oquendo would be good opponents for him during the months to come.

It's good that we have some new blood in the heavyweight division, especially a boxer as heavy handed as Robert Helenius.

Way, way too low. He pops all the way to 4 in this weeks BScene ratings update (consider that a preview). Who has had two more impressive wins than laying out Brewster and Peter recently. Yeah, they're faded. Still trumps giving credit for what others did a while ago.

He has the size, speed and pop, but I just wonder about his all round game. If Peter had landed any of the bombs he was throwing we might not be talking.

Cool, Austin might get him back into the 10 spot, which I'd have to Thompson over Arreola right now.
