    Luis Ortiz should be on this list. He beats every HW today not named Anthony Joshua :deal

    Multiple will win straps, because the belts will be shattered along the globe once Wlad retires. But I think Joshi will be the concensus champ a couple of years from now.
    Don't count out Povetkin and Pulev yet, they will be around for a while.

    2nd favorite of that list for me is Ruiz jr. by the way

    2015 will be an interesting year for the HW division.

    I just hope the promoters, managers, and fighters are willing to make the kind of matchups fans want to see.

    And I hope there won't be all the cancelling/postponing we've suffered through in 2015.

    Glaskov and Jennings are just list fillers really. Regardless, I think the division is reawakening after the worst era in its history courtesy of Wlad. Once he retires we will have meaningful heavyweight boxing again which wikk be great for tbe whole sport. Plenty of talent coming up, my pick would be Anthony Joshua. He could ignite some interest from America which I think is needed, they really don't have a single good heavyweight which is a shame. I really do believe he could be a super star if he can continue to deliver in the ring.

    Right now, it's very, very early. But Anthony Joshua is showing a LOT of potential. I chose him.

    He has a lot going for him, including a good promoter in Hearn.

    Many boxers are ruined by poor management/promotion, but Hearn is doing a very good job so far with Joshua.

    The long months of inactivity the past two years couldn't have been good for him.

    They are talented, but may not be big enough to compete with super heavyweights like Wilder, Fury and Joshua.

    Change the thread to "Which up-and coming boxing is least likely to become HW champion" and I would vote for Deontay Wilder.
