    It`s time for Hanks to step it up and keep active, he is too long fighting tomato cans and journeymen.

    Joe Hanks was told to turn it down because he was beating up Chisora in sparring, according to a boxer I know that personally knows Hanks.

    hanks is ok. we had him many times in sparring. needs to fully commit mind and heart if he wants to go anywhere. K brothers dominated him badly in sparring

    Andy Ruiz Jr. is the best prospect i've seen.

    I like him as a prospect. He and Seth Mitchell will be the next generation HW's.

    20-0, ive been searching for american prospects and this guy is as good as it gets imo. he might not have 1 punch power, but speed, defence and fitness can make up for that

    there is probably 15 decent contenders in america at the moment, some are more hyped that others but they are all around about the same part in there career the can/journyman stage, when they take on gatekeepsers/ex contenders we will know more, mike perez is my favortie prospect atm, not saying he is the best just my favorite, seth mitchell and ruiz jr are all hype, sure they have power but what else to they posses? ruiz jr hasnt even been tested yet, and seth was being out boxed by chaz witherspoon untill the KO.

    There seems to be a lot that went wrong with Chisora's camp.

    Agreed, at 20-0 though, now is the time to step it up a notch. From that video he looks like he'd definetly be able to outwork Tyson Fury. Whats his age?
