    I wont pretend to have seen Saleem fight, but I am fairly confident he will never win a title. If he had enough about him, he would have fought someone with a winning record by now!

    Audley Harrison, Dominick Guinn and Joe Mesi.............

    Still waiting for them to replace Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield.

    Seriously, look for Americans Tor Hamer and Deontay Wilder in a couple of years.

    I'm a fan of Tor Hamer. Obviously, as a 1 fight pro he has a lot to prove, including whether he has a chin, but he moves well and has good power, which is a combo that very few current heavies have.

    Also, of the current crop of Euros, I like Pinaeda better than Dimitrenko long-term. Similar but southpaw. And Povetkin is still officially a prospect and better than anyone else named in the meantime.

    None of the Polish HW's really stand out although Wawrzyk does look to be the best of a weak bunch.He is also the youngest so he can still learn.

    A young Andrew set the bar very high as to what a Polish HW can fight like.

    Damn, quite the fall from grace. The same Pianeta that only fought fighters with losing records? Guess Marrone is out of the picture then. Is Pianeta any good?
