    I just can't get over the amount of good looking fighters coming up. Heavyweight boxing has been dead for years and the Klitschko's have held us hostage fighting bums. Here are some of the prospects that I think has a chance to do well.
    Deontay Wilder
    David Price
    Robert Helenius
    Tyson Fury
    Denis Boytsov
    Seth Mitchell
    Bryant Jennings

    And I'm sure there are a lot more but to me David Price seems to be the one with the most talent but I need to see his chin tested. I would not be shocked if Steward tries to train Price after Wlad is gone. Price to me is more athletic than Wlad. He has more punches than Wlad too. He does fight a lot like Wlad I just hope he has a better chin. Wilder looks good too but I'm not sure he can take a punch. Also everyone seems to have wrote Helenius off since his last fight with Chisora but I think he will still be a force. Just imagine when all these guys start fighting each other. Its going to be fun. Maybe HBO and Showtime will get back into Heavyweight boxing again.

    All We Need now are for these young guns to fight each other. David Haye will pop up every now and then as well.

    So far I've learnt that
    David Price is a superior athelete to Wladamir.
    Wladamir and his brother have been ducking all the good fighters in the division for years
    Helenius is a good fighter
    and all of the fighters listed are going to magically start fighting each other.

    I think there are good heavyweight fights out there. If they are willing to make them.

    I didn't say they were making good fights, just that they are out there. I don't see the brothers Klitschko losing to anyone for a while. I think Thompson had the best chance out of anyone to beat them, and we saw how that turned out. Charr would not be in my top 25 to get a shot at either Klitschko.

    the problem is that they all avoid each other....
    Wlad should've been fighting Povetkin or Pulev already...
    And wtf is happening with Boytsov ?...And haye should've fought the likes of Adamek , Fury ,Arreola or Povetkin too.
    Or how about Price vs Helenius or Chambers ?...

    great potential match ups...but it's taking too much time...

    showtime or somebody (hbo claims to be out of the hw business) ought to put together a night of young hws (like hbo used to do) with some money behind it so some of these guys would face each other. i'm glad some of you more knowledgeable posters see potential in these guys listed cuz the divison has been a complete wasteland for soo long and like everybody else just wanna see some comptetive fights.

    Andy Ruiz Jr has sick handspeed. He's gonna be good.

    Oh and dont think for a moment that Wlad will beat even half of these guys. Wlad WILL NOT RETIRE ON HIS OWN TERMS. HE WILL LEAVE THIS SPORT ON HIS BACK!

    Wlad will fight maybe 2 of those guys and then say "there is no one to fight blah blah blah"

    Also Steve Cunningham is coming to HW,Joe Hanks,Malik Scott will be around,my man Tor Hamer too.
    As soon as we get rid of the ol' red menace,we can enjoy some heavyweight action again.

    Well It is clear that there are number of boxer who are strong and are hard to defeat them . Povetkin is one of them , Some new boxer are likely to be good like Deontay Wilder ,David Price and Robert Helenius . So heavy weight boxing is still looking bright due to addition of new talent in it .
