Haye will probably be gone too.

You can count on that @37... That's over six years past his original retirement date.


It's hard to put in a top 5, because I expect most guys that already broke through now are on the slide or maybe even shot at that point.

Helenius, Boytsov and Jennings are young enough to have a shot at the top 5 by then.

It's Hayes 32nd birthday today. He would just be turning 35.

David Price
Kubrat Pulev
Robert Helenius
Deontay Wilder (if it turns out he has a good defense at the elite level. We shall see...)


Slot #5 filled by one of the following:

Jennings - If he continues to gain strength & accuracy, as he has been doing.

Boytsov - If his stiffness doesn't make him a sitting duck for someone fast like Jennings.

Larsen (at the end of his career) - If insane punching power with average skills proves enough. (it might.)

Bogdan Dinu - If some promoter gives him the opportunities, and if he actually wants to go for it. This guy could own the division.

Price, Pulev, Povetkin, Haye. Also, Arreola can be a belt holder.

[Prince.]

So every1 ruling out Seth Mitchell?

[damian38]

Wlad will still be around 3 years from now

I could see Malik Scott inching his way to the top 3 if the division is in a really bad state.

I don't know about the top 5, but Dimitrenko is going to whoop some ass!

Mitchell is an entertaining circus act. Destined to fall off the high wire when they turn up the spotlights.

No, Scott is still doing 8 rounders and he can't crack an egg.
He's 31 now, I don't think he's getting much better.

I think if the division is getting that bad we will see a cruiser trying to get a belt before Scott.(Not just a blown up cruiser but a real sub200 guy)

Pulev
Glazkov
Price
Helenius
