    they ^ look the best of the bunch right now imo, but there's also Andrey Afonin, Rostislav Plechko, Evgeny Romanov, Gasan Gimbatov, Daniel Dubois, Nathan Gorman, Simon Kean, Tony Yoka, Nicholas Mazurek, Trey Lippe Morrison

    Filip Hrgovic, Ivan Dychko, Joe Joyce should be making their pro debuts soon :)

    Oleksandr Usyk says he will be moving up in the not too distant future.

    good times ahead!

    Let's hope some of these prospects actually end up fighting each other.

    Also, the current European champion Viktor Vikhrst from Ukraine will turn pro after this year's World championships.

    England has a bunch of really promising undefeated prospects. Nick Webb, Nathan Gorman, Daniel Dubois. Canada has Simon Kean, then in the US there's Trey Lippe Morrison, Darmani Rock and Stephan Shaw just off the top of my head.. France obviously has Tony Yoka...

    I think Jermaine Franklin is the best of those young American HWs.

    I had seen him... But hadn't watched any of his fights so didn't list him. Same with Mazurek. I'll take your word for it though.

    My favorite HW prospect still remains Bogdan Dinu... Even though the ship has probably sailed on him. Such a waste of talent. I truly believe he had the tools to be great. Imagine Steward getting a hold of that guy?

    Dubois, Teslenko, and Nathan Gorman are the heavyweight prospects I'm watching most closely.

    Then you have the big wave of Olympic medalists of course.

    Babanin will be amongst prospects if he turns pro. He beat Medzhidov by a wide margin, beat Tyson Fury by a wide margin and beat numerous others.

    For me, the most promising prospects are Demirizen, Jermaine Franklin, Gimbatov, Kuzmin, Kean, Adam Kownacky, Miller, Rivas, Zhang Zhilei, Senad Gashi, Michael Wallisch, Marcin Siwy, Rostislav Plechko, Robert Alfonso, Andrey Afonin, Tyrone Spong and George Arias. Dychko, Joyce and Hrgovic haven't made their debuts, so I don't count them in yet.
