    Fights Israel Carlos Garcia this Saturday, who may be the best old fatass he's faced yet. I used to be very impressed with Boytsov, but I'm becoming less enthusiastic.

    Well, he is still only 22 years old. He could be doing this for another 8 years before getting a title shot.

    Yeah his record is pretty but against no ones but he did stay undefeated and managed to beat everyone he faced so props for that.

    Who knows if he will ever get to the top thouigh>??

    I dont know why they are moving him up so slow. I also heard he has some heart condition.

    Boystov is moving too slow.
    22 or not.
    He's going to wind up like Mario Preskar at this rate.

    I think he blows that Garcia guy out easilly.

    Just chill guys, I think they are right moving him up slowly, he is still very young and inexperienced, but we probably will see him in a good fight already this year.

    He has looked rather ordinary in his last fights, I wonder if he is dealing with physical setbacks.

    Maybe 2010 would be a good year to put him up with the top HWs.

    Boystov has more talent than Preskar. I think it is wise to move Boystov slowly. He needs another year before he's ready to fight a top 40 opponent.

    Best guess is Boystov is good enough to win a title, after the Klitschko's retire, OR if he fights for Valuev's belt.

    Boystov will get smashed when he steps up. used to like him but hes managed far too carefully, you can tell somethings up. Blew every can out until he came up against a half durable can he couldnt blow out.

    He has some talent and good power, but he is just too small for a heavyweight. He should try his luck at 200 or even 175...

    He has a confused style probably due to poor quality training. He also doesn't have a lot of fight in him.

    He's a small HW, great handspeed and a strong build. I think he is very good but needs to be moved up quicker, even at 22. He doesn't have the sort of style that will last long...he's like a more offensive Povetkin, IMO.

    Nah! He has already face Pala who is better than Garcia or Hawkins.
    A pitty that their encounter was stopped by the ref due to a cut Pala had suffered during their fight.
    Come to think of Pala will soon be ranked ahead of Boytsov if he keeps winning his fights.He has beaten Akiwande and is scheduled to square off against Airich(who scored some knockdowns against Danny Williams).
    All in all Pala has faced better opponents than Boytsov.
    Damn! Time to claim up the ladder and go for the better known names out there!
