    great list CST80

    interested on why you rate Anderson so low though, figured he would be a bit higher on your list, not impressed as much from what you seen from him, or too young and green?

    Thanks, and I see nothing special about him whatsoever with the exception of his power. He's too upright, chin in the air, hands way too low and defense too leaky. He's a brutal KO waiting to happen. But for only 21, he's pretty good. Maybe 9th place in retrospect, is a little too low. I might move him up to 8th.

    Good list. Curious what your thoughts are on Frank Sanchez? I know he is a little older (listed at 29 but likely older than that) but I like he speed, footwork and amateur pedigree. With that said, I have been hyped before on Cuban heavyweights that looked great early in their careers only to **** the bed at the highest level.

    I'm going to envelope myself in nationalism and say Jared Anderson here. Very young and I see a lot of upside. He actually came up the right way in the amateur circuit (unlike a lot of other American guys of late)

    And he's a switch hitter, at HW, gotta love that

    Jalolov looks very impressive, a good mover at 6'7" with absurd power. He may have weaknesses though, I can't help but remember his performance against Joyce for the 2016 QF:

    He was pretty green then though and Joyce has proven himself. I picked him regardless.

    Yes.

    Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have included David Adeleye in the poll. He needed a robbery to defeat someone who was clearly beaten by Sirenko, Gorman, Faust and Kossobutskiy - and Tom Little. Adeleye has about the same potential as Campbell Hatton.

    Sirenko and Huni for me are the 2 to watch out for.

    I'm also a big fan of Dubois and Anderson.

    Some young heavyweights worth checking out who haven't been mentioned in this thread >>

    Mourad Aliev age 25 (France)
    Sonny Conto age 25 (USA)
    Johnny Fisher age 22 (GB)
    Lazizbek Mullojonov age 22 (Uzbekistan)
    Gurgen Hovhannisyan age 23 (Armenia)

    Aliev was a top amateur and Olympian who just signed with a german promoter.

    Hovhannisyan is a huge 6ft 7 , 291 pounds big lump who made his pro debut recently.

    Quire impressed by Lazizbek Mullojonov after seeing him beat Machado in their Olympicbout. He looks very slick for a big guy and boxed smartly against a dangerous looking opponent.

    Jalolov, Sirenko and Anderson are the last men standing in the thread

    Although Anderson has a tough fight this weekend

    Dubois is technically a titlist.

    Gurgen Hovhannisyan age 23 (Armenia) was meant to be fighting a week odd ago but his fight was pulled.

    Hope he isn't injured (again). Anyone know any info?

    Dainier Pero won his fight on that event.
