Your prediction: Who will be heavyweight champion in 2030?

Where is the option for Dustin Nichols? You all DKSAB.

 

i just went with the consensus. the brit has all the natural ability you want in someone to carry out the gameplan. if you can teach him what he needs to do to solve each particular problem he is going to face in the ring, you can beat everyone else i have seen in the current hw scene.

 

God willing the king will fly again.
He’ll be visited outside McDonald’s by an old Gypsy oracle from the old country who tells him ‘the hero’s quest is in his heart, not his adversary’
Fury gets past the Usyk losses finds his self belief again and comes back to eclipse Foreman as the oldest champ.

Teremoana Jnr is worthy of consideration. With Matchroom and will be gaining attention soon.

 

We have Itauma here with 29 votes, Torres on 6 and Wardley on 3 which is madness. As 2030 is only 4 years away.

I suspect that if we had held a poll like this in 2012 on who would be world champion by 2016, then David Price would have won it by a landslide. He was an overwhelming favourite back then to knock Tyson Fury out, and look how that played out.

 

Well I do love a new potential hype job thrown into the hat.

 

Looking forward to it, no rush please and hope alls okay with you.

 

Best thing Fury did was avoid Price.

 

Big Dronov fan but he is going to take the slow route.

Speaking of Russians, Gassiev is on 32, and has the WBA regular belt, If he holds onto it a couple more years, he will be elevated when Usyk retires. It is not out of the question that he is a champ at 36, especially considering the crappola in the WBA top ten.

 

Man, don't feel bad about that. Joyce's chin got busted, and Jalolov just don't want it. They were both good picks at the time

 

Teremoana Jnr

 

Really appreciate the post mate.

Yeah definitely, in regards to Vanhouter. When you're an up and coming prospect who has simply just fought part-timers and already has the 'split decision' stain its really not a particularly good look as it goes to show you've literally been scraping past part-timers. I also notice on BoxRec that Vanhouter knocked down this Rodriguez dude whom he SD'ed, so must have been struggling to even out box him. And for people to be tipping him as the HW champion in 4 years time - you can't be barely scraping past part-timers. He'll get found out soon enough, kind of reminds me of Johnny Fisher from the way you speak about him.

I can tell Dronov is a big dude at 6 feet 6, and his amateur record at 28-5 is pretty solid. Then again, a lot of people with amateur records are complete hype jobs. From what you say about him, his style is somewhat unique especially that he is a switcher stance apparently but may be a bad stylistic match-up waiting to knock him out.

The main thing I notice about Atang is that he has barely just turned 19, which is pretty young for any fighter. He could be forgiven for fighting a few more years to hone up his skills in the amateurs even if his amateur record is at 17-1, although it is against rather soft opposition then. He is fighting next month, so I'll give him a watch - he sounds physically pretty gifted. We'll have to see how he does against someone that actually knows how to counter.

Looking forward to the Itauma fight this weekend, I'll be on the forum. Hopefully its not just a one rounder!
