    Think it'll be in the next ten months, though?

    Otherwise it'll end up with two crops of US Olympians racing to be first to grab a belt.

    Breazeale will be the unified champ soon. The dude has this incredible talent where he's able to win fights by winning a total of 3 rounds.

    :!:

    He'll be in some exciting fights (even though he's a sloppy mess on the inside or at range, but he is a workhorse, big, and easy to hit which makes for good TV) but if he gets a belt it will be a death knell for the HW division's credibility. :deal

    Arreola did better vs. Kassi and would outslug Breazeale h2h, IMO.

    Definitely Spence, especially with two titles being vacant. The Spence-Thurman fight won't be until late 2016 or 2017.

    Errol Spence and Marcus Browne have the best shot from the 2012 Olympic Team - JOJO is on that route too, but has to be tested still.

    I would pick Thurman, but Spence has a good shot at a world title
