    Rank these big guys; both for now and near future:

    6'7 Dominic Breazeale 30
    6'6 Gerald Washington 33
    6'5 Tom Schwartz 21
    6'5 Bogdan Dinu 29
    6'5 Otto Wallin 24
    6'6 John Wesley Nofire 29
    6'7 Adrian Granat 24
    6'5 Michael Wallisch 29

    You can throw in Gary Cornish in the mix as well.

    It's a little early to make a judgement on Schwarz, Granat and Wallin are the best of the bunch for me. Not high on the rest.

    No Charles Martin? No Sergey Kuzman?

    From those menitoned Wallin, who is 6'6", has power, is only 22, already beating some good gatekeeprs and is trained by Joey Gamache.

    6'7 Dominic Breazeale 30 - awful defense, no more than fringe contender

    6'6 Gerald Washington 33 - 2nd coming of Seth Mitchell :deal

    6'5 Tom Schwartz 21 - haven't seen him

    6'5 Bogdan Dinu 29 - average, fringe contender

    6'5 Otto Wallin 24 - Euro level, maybe wins EBU

    6'6 John Wesley Nofire 29 - jorneyman like Bryan Minto

    6'7 Adrian Granat 24 - Euro level, maybe wins EBU

    6'5 Michael Wallisch 29 - Euro level at best

    Ah, Gary Cornish - a new Tom Dallas or Richard Towers :deal

    How do you throw Gary the Cornish Hen into this mix?

    He was hand-fed chicken feed to pump up his record -- best win being against 8-1 Zoltan Csala in May, who has managed to get knocked out two more times in the 4 months since that fight.

    Then he fall down and go boom against the first fighter with a pulse that he faces, Joshua.

    What could anyone see in his record that would make them think he can get past the first round against any real heavyweight?

    Think he's talking about lightly regarded prospects. That leaves out Joshua, Parker, Kuzmin, Fury and Rivas.

    Breazeale is a bum. Charles Martin needs a mention here.

    Just rank them as well, anonymous big prospects, with perfect records.

    The future is big I think.

    Thought he looked pretty good until Joshua... Fury also said he was good. If it wasn't for Joshua I would definitely put him in the mix. Either it could be he's trash or that Joshua is extremely good. But I think Cornish will come back strong soon.

    Yeah, searching the likes of top 30-100+ on boxrec. Want to see whats around the corner in the 6'5"+ range.

    Dillian Whyte is decent.
