A rematch against Chisora makes sense for both guys. Maybe he could go after someone like Hammer or Charr.

Good, good. Just needs to stay busy and healthy – that's all he can do. Too many years of his prime (mainly after Chisora) were missed because of injuries and promotional issues.

He still shouldn't got KO'ed by Duhaupas, though. :conf3:

Duhaupas is not the bum he got depicted as though. He certainly gave Deontay Wilder a pizza face and a tough fight.

But yeah, Helenius has yet to recapture his pre-injury form. Who knows if he ever will?

Why? Duhaupas has stepped up his game the last 18 months. All he needed was experience. He is a top 15 heavyweight. Nobody fought better competition then him during that 18 month span. 5 fights in 18 months going 3-2. Minus the Nacsimento fight he had a close decision loss to Erkan Teper. He beat Manuel Charr 4 weeks after the Teper fight. Lost a tough fight to Wilder & then knocked Helenius out in 6 rounds. The guy stayed active fight solid competition. He is a guy who doesn't get enough credit. He is big & tough. He comes forward & exchanges with anyone. Underated fighter & he is obviously better than Helenius.

Well said. Duhaupas is no stiff and one of the better surprises of the HW division over the last year. He was a lot better than Wilder's people thought, you can be sure of that. At this point he is certainly better than Helenius.

Helenius suffered the kind of shoulder injury that many never come back from -- muscle was transplanted from his thigh to his shoulder -- so we'll see if he ever regains the momentum he lost.

I hope he does but he had a 4 year stretch of inactivity because of injuries & contract issues. He had a lot of momentum until that Chisora fight. He can still be a factor if he gets the right fights. He had some nice wins but that was 5+ years ago. A couple of good wins after Airich could boost his stock. I'd like to see him rematch both Duhaupas & Chisora...

I would like to see him fight Chisora again.
