    Someone mentioned Boytsov in another thread, got me thinking-- who are the heavyweight prospects? I'm afraid I don't watch as much boxing as most of you, but I'm damned ****ing curious who might make the division exciting again, or at least give Wladimir more worthy opposition. Thoughts and commentary?

    On a serious note there are five pretty decent HW prospects swimming around. Not great (and not many are proven) but if you're desperate for names? Tor Hamer, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Kevin Johnson and Mike Perez.

    Then you get more experienced guys like Bostov, Povetkin and Arreola.

    Uh Tyson Fury?
    This guy is just starting out. Has no ability yet other than his freakish size.

    Dimitrenko on the other hand.
    Has size and ability. Plus he can take a punch.
