Joe Ko Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just watching some old fights and heard Vitali saying he wants the record Hopkins wants, to be oldest world champ, can he really do that? Plus Wlad is still young he could go on for few more years. With no real threat accept from Haye that will end this year with Haye retiring, this Klitschko domination could easily go on for another 4+ years with no real eye catching prospects coming through the ranks. Thats why I want Solis and mainly Haye to pull a big upset this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wladimir has a few more miles left on the clock while Vitali for me is slowing right down but at the moment nobody around to take advantage. Will be interesting to see how Solis does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynbrawler Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wladimir has a few more miles left on the clock while Vitali for me is slowing right down but at the moment nobody around to take advantage. Will be interesting to see how Solis does. I think the very same. He's slowing down, and showing signs of actually being hurt recently. He WILL go on too long, and he will eventually be stopped, but his workrate and power are enough to put off most fighters from making a real attempt at it. Wlad will be difficult for anyone to beat, because he's far tighter in defence. He knows his weaknesses and he hides them beautifully. It's not fun to watch, but it will be a thousand times harder for someone to make an impact fighting him, because 90% of what Wlad does is to counter or stop his opponents offence. Solis is a good indicator for Vitali. There's not many others around right now who can take advantage of his clear decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapevine241 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 id give wlad about 4-5 more years, i could see vitali retiring within a year though. but in all honestly, it could be quicker for wlad as he can only clean out the division so many times before getting too bored with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulais_valley Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 There are essentially two possible meaningful fights out there for either of the Klitschko Bros at the moment - Haye and Adamek. Possibly Pvetkin if he finds another spurt of development. Beyond that, the other competitors are years away from being credibly threats. Very possible for them both to get bored...

gavpowell Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Similaer to Hayer though, would you really want to risk Povetkin again? He's so unreliable he could bring down an entire card at a moment's notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ko Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 This year we should see how it will pan out, Its is hardest fights for Klitschko this year, with them fightin Adamek and Solis and hoppefully Haye. Can you name top prospects in the division under ten fights or not even pro yet?? Pulev Fury Perez Price Thats all I think of really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Camarelle ought to be a prospect, but he's getting on in years, has had a long amateur career and I'm not sure he even has any intention of turning pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 not 10 or less but helenius and Gerber are 2 to keep an eye, theres a 3-0 Turkish guy some are raving about too. Andy Ruiz Jr could be worth a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I hope he's good - with a name like Ruiz he's got a lot of work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Kimbo Slice is turning Pro supposidly. He's one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I hope he's good - with a name like Ruiz he's got a lot of work to do. He's more Chris Arreola than John Ruiz, a real fat git, though he was out boxing MMA legend Andrei Arlovski in the Wild Card Gym. Rob Kimbo will be nothing more than a Joe Savage for the modern day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good but needs to turn pro asap if he wants any kind of a career. Lots of UK talent it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheils Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Kimbo Slice is turning Pro supposidly. He's one to watch. I'd watch him, but hasn't he been KO'd a few times? Don't know how he would do on the pro circuit, but the man is a back yard animal. I'm hoping for an upset somewhere for the K-bros. My money was on Chisora pulling it off.....
