    Add Fury. Banks, Walker, Arreola, Boystov, and Potvetkin to that call out list......ooooohhhhhh and the K2 as well.

    Then again.......it's one thing basically saying you'll fight anyone in the top 50 for traveling/training expenses and another getting the HWC'sotW to ackknowledge your existence after beating a past prime contender.

    Check out Fillip Hrovic. A 19 year old Croatian amateur. He is already better than some, possibly most guys on the TS's original list.

    Agree with that. Hrgovic got all the right tools for success. He's big enough at 6.5, rather fast and powerful. Besides Hrgovic there's a couple of other amateurs that might be worth to look out for in the future.

    First of all the brilliant world champ in the heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, A 24 year old ukrainian who outclassed all of his opponents last week. I would love to see him as a heavyweight in a professional ring soon (probably after the Olympic games). He's unusual fast, mobile and slick for a heavyweight And at 6.3 he's tall enough for the heaviest division.

    The brutal brawler and the world champ in the super heavy division, Magomedrasul Medzhidov might also be a force in the proring. He's 25 years old and seems to have alot of power in his hands.

    Other super heavies that impressed me last week was the 22 year old, Ivan Dychko, who's 6.7 but moves like a middleweight, the 23 year old silvermedalist Anthony Joshua who's 6.5 tall and the 22 year old cuban Erislandy Savon.

    We also got the 6.4 heavyweight Teymur Mammadov who's only 18 year old, but followed up his gold in EC with a silver in WC.

    I also got a feeling that we might see alot of a, 18-year old, super heavy from Russia named Gasan Gimbatov in the future.
