    Although there are a few, I just selected some young (and less young) guns so you guys can choose which one you think will perform better in the future.
    I didn't included Frank Sanchez, Filip Hrgovic, Efe Ajagba, Stephan Shaw, Daniel Dubois, Gassiev or Makhmudov in the poll.

    Jared.

    Sirenko can wack a bit too, decent enough handspeed at heavy.

    I think Jalalov is the best prospect by some way but i voted Anderson because US/UK fighters get all the opportunities and so many fighters from other countries simply get frozen out - high risk, low reward and all that. Real shame.

    When even prospects are only fighting once or twice a year anymore, it is difficult to give a damn.

    Must admit I don’t really know much about Jalolov to be honest. I saw that he won gold at the Olympics and gold at the 2019 World Championships but haven’t seen him at all as a pro. Anyone got any opinions/info on him?

    Size, backpedel style, left handed stance and power make Jalolov the best candidate for the next top guy.

    Jalolov but even he isn't that good.

    **** crop.

    Dychko would be decent but will never get any fights, so he doesn't even count.

    Big, hard hitting...plods forward and thrown one punch. Not even a good right jab to set it up.

    Think southpaw Deontay Wilder. At least that is what I think of.

    Dychko might be chinny. He was brutally knocked out in the amateurs i think. A very large heavyweight with relatively good movement and range but i don't think he's going that far

    It's all hypothetical anyway. He is NEVER going to get a good fight to prove it one way or the other.

    Jalolov, but he hasn't had a real test in professional boxing so far, we'll see more when he has a real opponent and then we'll be able to say more...

    Dychko and Jalolov might be better than Anderon but they have no promotional or commercial backing.

    I noticed that the prospect Chris Arreola makes his comeback this weekend.
