Do you think Joshua Edwards and Richard Torrez jr are future top contenders ?

    Torrez Jr. is entertaining, but has some limitations and will likely lose against the top heavyweights.

    Edwards I'm not sure about. We won't know how good he is until he faces a few decent journeymen.

    I watched that KO live. You could just see Jalolov setting him up and using his own aggression against him. I like Torrez but he is far from a complete fighter. I just don't see him ever beating a top heavyweight fighter and certainly not Uysk.

    No and No

    You'll have to keep searching for some more hopes, cause these guys are not it.

    Torrez is too small, too open. He will go the Wilder route of stacking up highlight reel KO's until he's in his 30's and he makes a push for a belt.

    If Torrez has the financial backing, he will. Have you seen the heavyweight division lately? It's pretty deep right now, but old, and there is not a great deal on the horizon.

    Edwards I have't seen, but will keep an eye.
