This heavyweight era is about to end.. who will lead the next?

Disappointed that Hrgovic lost. This was the ideal time for him to take over.

 

That was never going to happen. He just isn't that good.

 

I don’t know but I’ll be rooting for Dubois and Kabayel

 

I never thought his skills were exceptional. I just thought he had top notch power, high work rate for a big man, and a strong chin. And those attributes combined should be enough to take over once Usyk and Joshua fade away. He has unfortunately disappointed. Where was the stamina?

He got caught up in his hype and his trash talking went south.

 

Dubois is work in progress, young and powerful, he will grab the titles at some point .

 

This era will end with the retire of Usyk, Joshua and Parker. They can still make good things in rhe division.

 

Jai might be a brilliant cruiserweight, but I can't see him pulling an Usyk. Too thin for it, and if he bulks he'll lose that speed and movement.

 

Parker is on 32. Another 4-5 years left.

Joshua is 34, but bigger and more hard-hitting than Parker, so probably has another 4 left himself if he wants it.

Usyk and Fury are on their way out, and Deontay Leshun Wilder is probably done after tonight, with Zhang joining him the first time he is really brutally beaten.

 

Reasonable. Infact imo the new era will start within 5 years or around.

 

For the next 5 years

1. Joshua
2. Parker
3. Dubois
4. Hrgovic
5. Agit kabayel

 

No love for Jared Anderson, Efe Ajagba, Frank Sanchez, Murat Gassiev, Fabio Wardley or Frazer Clarke?

 

Ajagba's only 30 with some real punching power and the only blemish on his resume being a UD loss to Sanchez.

 

No.

None of them are mentally strong enough.

Jared Anderson: On Saturday, March 2, 2024, Anderson was charged with fleeing a police officer (a third-degree felony) and leading them on a six-mile chase. It's alleged that the heavyweight contender reached speeds over 130mph in an orange Dodge Challenger.

Efe Ajagba: Stepped up against Sanchez. Looked confused. Lost and went back down in competition facing beatable opponents for a living.

Gassiev: Lost to Wallin and looked like he was watching paint dry. Inactive.

Wardley drew with Clarke who has had eight fights.

 

@CST80

What do you think of the following HWs?

Jared Anderson
Moses Itauma
Bakhodir Jalolov
Richard Torrez Jr
Vlad Sirenko
Jai Opetaia as a HW?

What is their ceiling?

 

Itauma looks the absolute real deal to me. I predict he will dominate for a long time once he's ready.
