    I like what I see from Andy Ruiz, just needs to lose a bit of weight, his hands are great.

    Pulev and Haye may be too old by the time the Klits retire Povetkin aswell although I've never rated him pre or post Wlad.

    I agree he looks very talented, but I have a feeling he'll be similar to Arreola and never really turn up in shape.

    ANDY RUIZ is the future of the Heavyweight division, easily the most skilled and talented young heavyweight out there and at only 24 years old he's improving all the time. If this kid can lose another 15lbs over the next 12 months he'll be a World Champion in 2015 for sure.

    Its doubtful he can get to that level , his record is very padded with poor quality journeyman heavyweights , put him in with Joshua now and i believe he would lose.

    Mike Perez looks good to me. cracking fight last time seems to have a granite chin and has good boxing skills

    Perez not big enough in my opinion, if he can't dedicate himself and sort his conditioning out he doesn't deserve success.

    How anyone can say Andy Ruiz at this stage is baffling. He is overweight and to date he hasnt fought anyone of note.

    Mike Perez looks tough, but unfortunately as sad as it is there doesnt seem to be an exciting heavyweight coming through that hasnt got some serious flaws.

    I am not impressed with Mike Perez's record either , i would say if he went in with Haye he would be destroyed , same as Wilder , Andy Ruiz , and Haye could still be around for another 5-10 years if the desire is there , fighting once or twice a year
