Wladimir Klitschko to face Dennis Boytsov

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Another crap fight for Wlad. Shame on David Haye for not stopping him when he had the chance. Wlad will never fight him again and Haye blew his chance. Now Wlad will run his career out with crap fights.

Dennis Boytsov is his m a n d a t o r y !

Dennis Boytsov is his m a n d a t o r y !

So is Pulev, and he is the only guy I would root for against Wlad. Please Wlad fight him, he deserves it more!

Disappointing if true. I was hoping for Wlad vs Pulev. Pulev is much better and ten times more proven than Boytsov. Plus he is a great guy and a true patriot. In his country he IS boxing, and he knows it and fights to do his people proud.

If he beats Boytsov, he must fight Pulev anyway because he is his mandatory. Actually, Wladimir Klitschko has the following lis of possible opponents :

Mandatories :

- Dennis Boytsov
- Kubrat Pulev

Free title défenses:

- Deontay Wilder
- Winner of David Haye vs Tyson Fury
- Chris Arreola
- Bryant Jennings
- Tomasz Adamek (if he beats Glazkov)
- Odlanier Solis ( if he beats Johnson)

Quite frankly, those are all good/very good opponents, Solis being potentially his biggest threat ( in my humble opinion).

None of them is much of a threat imo (I would root for Pulev but I have no illusions about his chances). Most are good opponents except Haye (meaningless rematch), Jennings (nobody) and Solis (unprofessional fatass). Fury will get KO'd by Haye so I don't consider him a realistic opponent for Wlad.

This is a good fight for Wladimir. I think it enhances his legacy because Boystov has been in the top ten for a long, long time. That said, I think it's a cash grab because Boystov is way, way too small to stand a chance against a physical tactician like Wladimir.

Come on man...

I agree with him on that one actually......

But, hopefully we will see.

[joe strong]

Why not pulev next? Is he going to duck him like fury, adamek & jennings? Or will the same people say its not a duck who said the others ducked pulev? I already know the answer...

He will get to it, he cannot fight them both on the same night even though I'm sure he could beat both that way if it was allowed.

Believe me, Boytsov hits by far harder than Povetkin, I am more than sure about this.

Fine with this fight. Wladimir fights four times a year, some of those are bound to be mandatory challengers. I figured they would hold Boystov back until Wlad was a little older while building Boystov up. Guess its time to cash in.
