Sure the division is weak, but who are you comparing him to? What heavyweight in the past years could give it to Wladimir? Lennox in my opinion wouldn't win because Wlad is bigger and hits way harder. His punches are much much straighter as well. I know the division is weak at the moment but without comparing him to the greatest fighters of all time, name a few that could just beat the hell out of Wlad. Corrie Sanders will probable be the first lol. I think that both Klitschko's are in the same problem that most talented boxers are in. The competition can be weak at times, and even weaker the rest of the time, so their abilities only allow for so much. You can only beat up poor competition for so long.
....Of course he can. He has his confidence back now and the fact that he is not satisfied with his performance against Peter just shows that he is on his way back to the top. He and Many will only get better together. He does need to develop a mean streak though. If Peter would have tried that rabbit punching **** with Vitali he would have been severely roughed up. Wlad needs to get angry in the ring in a situation like that.
Yes, of course. He's going to have to beat Brewster to do it, though. I consider Brewster the top ranked HW at the moment.
Byrd will obviously avoid Wlad as he's been doing, so Wlad will have to go after Brewster. While he would breeze through Byrd, Brewster is going to be much tougher. Brewster is confident in his ability to take Wlad's punches, and he's also becoming very confident in his punching power. Brewster has really looked like the real deal in his last 2 fights.
But then you get really confused when you see that Meehan beat him by controlling him with a jab. So it's doable, but Wlad's going to have to train just like he did for Peter with the 120 rounds of sparring and all that, so he's ready to go the full 12 this time instead of 4 1/2. And don't drink any water with unbroken seals, and watch your backstage passes very closely.
