    Who do you think?

    Some notable ones.. Yoka, Hrgovic, Dychko, Joyce, Dubois

    For me, Hrgovic probably has the best potential.

    I heard Hrgovic didnt look to great in his last fight???

    Lets not forget Usyk and or Gassiev if they qualify as prospects?

    I would take Usyk over Filip currently imo.

    Hard to call them prospects when they've both got CVs </= many in the top 30 P4P

    Miller is growing on me
    Dawjeko, Muralimov, Dennis, Kassi, Washington and Wach.....

    Hardly Ws on a prospects CV.

    Most consider him a top 10/15 contender

    How bout Arias. There is a good prospect

    Yeah, what he does may not look pretty, but it certainly works. He's 32, so he's probably nearing his prime and I think he's almost certainly going to crack the top 10, maybe even 5 in the next two years. H2H I'd probably favor him over almost any other prospect as of right now, though I do think some of them (Dychko, Hrgovic, Sirenko, Jalolov, Dubois, etc.) have the potential to eventually surpass him.

    Joyce looks awkward but he actually has a lot of subtle skills that i think people dont see when they watch him fight.

    His footwork is very good, and he keeps his head off center line which only tyson fury is the other big guy to do that.

    Too early to call tbh. Most of them only have fought couple of fights yet. Let them fight another 8-10 fights then we can talk. Opposition is too weak to say anything about their following career. I think some might sort themselves out if stepping up the opposition.

    Dave Allen even said that if he hadn't sparred him and had just watched him box he wouldn't of thought much of him and would favor himself to beat him fairly easily. Interesting case where the eye test isn't everything, and the only certain takeaway from it is that he's one of the most consistently awkward human beings on the planet.
