Where is this guy?Why he not fighting ?

He have had injuries in their arm and he has legal issues with Sauerland now.

[punchoutsb]

He is the heavyweight of this decade with the most wasted potential. He had a good chin and a wicked punch. The injuries he suffered were enough to mess up his career, but now the ring rust and legal issues have effectively ended his career.

Three-four years ago, I was for certain this man was the next heavyweight champion of the world. Then he blew out his arm against Chisora, and from that point on--- became a shell of himself. Compound that with legal issues, I cant ever see him making the return. But if EVER a man looked and fought like a heavyweight champion, Robert Helenius was it. The guy looked like THOR ffs.

He's busy punching soccer balls up into the sky.
Seriously.

Still more ambitious matchmaking than Wilder. & also I suppose it's something to do whilst waiting for Wlad to retire.

....doing a few bank jobs, scaring old ladies and riding-out with the brothers judging by that Old Testament beard and collection of tats.

Whilst I wouldn't go quite as far as you, he did look like a very solid prospect. Up until Chisora he had beaten better opposition that Wilder (And I like Wilder). He looked great against Del Boy until the hand gave out. And by that I mean he had a great first round D

It's a great shame that we never got to see how his career would have progressed.

These are my thoughts exactly!!!

[sucracristo]

He is slow. Not good defensively. And not overly skilled. But he could punch.

He's pretty much done.

Thor got his arse handed to him by Del Boy

Thanks man. I am not english native so I like people fix my errors, it is the best way to learn.

[crusader]

In my opinion the injuries significantly impaired his best attribute, being his power. I think his last 3 fights show the quality of fighter he is without that attribute, and I doubt he'll be a factor in the division again.

A one armed Thor with two serious injuries (one of which was considered a potential career ender) allowed Del Boy to look much better than he is.

Fixed.

I think the bigger Problem is not the shoulder injury but the Hand injury. I think the shoulder injury has healed well but Hand injuries often come back. boytsov has the same Problem.

of course mayweather and clazaghe also had a lot of Hand Problems but but a Puncher like helenius that is usually the end because unlike clazaghe he cannot win by slapping his Opponent:).

I'm of the same school of thought. The shoulder was badly damaged, but the surgery supposedly brought it back to normal. The hand may be brittle.

Either way, I feel his best days are behind him which is quite sad as he was the best challenge Klitschko could have faced.
