    Usyk 37
    Fury 35
    Joshua 34
    ----------------------
    Joyce 38
    Zhang 41
    Wilder 38
    Ortiz 45
    Parker 32
    Whyte 36


    I think other than Parker and maybe AJ, all of these guys will be gone within 3 years. Retired.


    The next gen of Olympians didn't look that good. Hrgovic is 31 and just lost to Dubois.. so it wont be him. Jalolov? maybe Jared Anderson? Talent is stacked right now but the future looks bleak.

    Joshua and Parker for awhile. Hoping Kabayel at some point.

    Would not surprise me in the slightest if he were to dominate.

    I’m interested to see who the next over hyped undeserving unproven fighter that people will go on about, probably jalolov.

    There’s nobody out there that coming up the ranks that look like a superstar.

    Moses Itauma & Jalolov (if he decides to take his pro boxing career seriously.)

    After this current crop heavyweight division will be dead probably dubois on his own don't see any of the younger heavys being anything special

    Moses Itauma. He's young, big, quick and powerful. He's yet to face a real threat of course but he's looking the part at only 19 years old.

    If you head over to the Heavyweight/cruiserweight thread, there are actually a lot of good East Euros and central Asians, they just can't get backing. Some names I lifted from that thread:

    1. Jalolov 29yo
    2. Torrez 24yo
    3. Pero 24yo
    4. Itauma 19yo
    5. Mullojonov 25yo
    6. Hovhannisyan
    Petrovsky 25
    Dronov 22
    Suslenkov,
    Zakhozhyi,
    Sirenko,
    Dronov,
    Rogava
