    Which rising HW are you keen to see take on someone top 10 (or around that level) ?

    For me I'm interested in Kubrat Pulev who beat Matt Skelton in only his 5th pro fight. I watched Povetkin take on strong comp early on only to back off after Chambers.

    hey man i know this is off topic , but whats really going on over there , i know the U.N. investigation found N korea at fault for the torpedo that sank your ship , and i see on the news that there has been alot of posturing on both sides , culminating with the war game between the us and the south , but is it really that serious , do you feel war is imminent ?

    Pulev is a top level talent. He looks like a much bigger, faster, and more skilled version of Chagaev. If you like combination punching, Pulev is a guy you will like. The only question on him is how does he take a pro punch. My guess is not as good as Chagaev.

    Helenius has a chance to be somebody. He's big, can hit, and has pretty good skills. A bit stiff though.

    The third man to watch is Glaskov. He was the #2 super amateur heavy in the world. Glaskov has a great chin, good size, good power, solid speed, but he might lack a world class trait.

    While none of the above guys are a talent like the Klitschko's are, each could very well be the future of heavyweight boxing.

    From what I heard the Cheonan ship incident probably came about because of some kind of North Korean domestic agenda associated with a possible changes in the leadership there. It's pretty hard to know what's going on inside North Korea, everything is always endless speculation. The main thing IMO is that this is all bad for something called Kaesong which is a special economic zone just inside North Korea. NK really relies on this zone for foreign exchange and it's shot itself in the foot by shutting it down. I don't think it'll escalate to the point of war but who knows ?????

    He's either got a great chin or feather fists, couldn't even knock himself out!

    This video always cheers me up, keep in mind, getting knocked out by the first punch landed is a rarity. I would like to see Tyson's reaction to a series of his own around the world upper cuts before judging his chin.

    Boytsov has to be the best prospect. There is a lot of American hope in Deontary Wilder. If Odlanier Solis can get his act together, he has the talent. Pulev seems good and willing to take risks and challenges. Helenius needs to make his move soon if he's serious.
