David Price Denis Boytsov Seth Mitchell Coming up in 2014: Wilder and Fury. My take is Fury will get exposed first because he is willing to fight tougher opposition. Wilder's handlers will likely keep him out of harm's way (read: anyone with a pulse) until the end of 2014.
Fury is willing to mix it up with and has defeated top talent.... He has a shaky chin, but is a solid world class HW. Boystov really let himself go, Boystov may have been overhyped by some but that is not the same fighter people hyped.
The division is at probably its lowest point in terms of talent and match ups, so its really no wonder.
Fury is a contender, not a prospect. He's beaten Cunningham, who was a credible opponent and the betting favorite.
Yeah big time.. Exposed by winning a clear decision against the top southpaw in the HW division who had only lost to wlad in the last 13 years prior to that fight.
Tyson has beat top ranked Heavyweights. Chisora, Kevin Johnson, Steve Cunnigham who really beat Adamek a top 10 Heavyweight. Kevin Johnson absolutely schooled, beat down and stopped Alex Leapai BTW who beat Denis Boytsov last night. Fury was scheduled to fight Boytsov but he pulled out of the fight.
All of the exposed were boxers, that had not earned their "promise". On the other hand two other boxers earned their place under the spotlight - Peres and Leapai. Chisora made an impressive comeback and to an extent also did Areola.
Pulev? IMO easily won a lackluster fight against an old Thompson who came off crushing victories over Price.
