Heavyweight prospects: make your predictions

I personally do not believe he lacks power.. Perea is very tough like Dauhupas. He can take a punch.

I believe Tyrone has power to drop most heavies.

 

Maybe, we will see.

 

To win a title at some point:

Hrgovic, Kuzmin, Romanov, Suslenkov(Heavy heavy puncher), Evgeny Tischenko but he has moved down to ccruiserweight. Plus Bahodir Jalolov and Arslanbek Makhmudov.

 

You forget Teslenko

 

Ajgaba won't be a top heavyweight for one reason, he lacks technique. And there are other reasons for it as well. He is too stiff and seems one demensional at times. I think he will be higher than Charles Martin level, which is not bad at all.

 

@Big Ukrainian

For me fringe contender is like a top 30-40 guy, top contender is top 10, so I've got quite a lot of them. The others I either haven't seen, or don't think they're good enough to make top 30-40:

1. Sergey Kuzmin - between top and fringe contender
2. Filip Hrgovic - world champion
3. Agit Kabayel - top contender
4. Tom Schwarz - fringe contender
5. Nathan Gorman - fringe contender
6. Otto Wallin - fringe contender
7. Joe Joyce - top contender
8. Petar Milas - fringe contender
9. Mladen Miljas - fringe contender
10. Daniel Dubois - world champion if managed correctly
11. Tony Yoka - fringe contender
12. Jermaine Franklin - fringe contender
13. Alexander Frank
14. Facundo Nahuel Simal
15. Erzen Rrustemi
16. Albon Pervizaj
17. Ali Eren Demirezen - top/fringe contender
18. Lukasz Rozanski
19. Junior Fa - fringe contender
20. Efe Ajagba - world champion if managed well
21. Evgeny Romanov - fringe contender
22. Frank Sanchez Faure (don't know though if he can be qualified as prospect at 56 y.o. LOL)
23. Onoriode Ehwarieme
24. Tyrone Spong - fringe contender
25. Umut Camkiran
26. Robert Alfonso - fringe contender
27. Oleksandr Zakhozhyi
28. Cassius Chaney
29. Andrey Afonin - fringe contender
30. Roberto Secola
31. George Arias - fringe contender
32. Niall Kennedy - fringe contender
33. Mario Daser
34. Bakhodir Jalolov - top contender
35. Tomas Salek
36. Amron Sands
37. Raphael Tronche
38. Agron Smakici
39. Fabio Wardley
40. Ivan Dychko - top/fringe contender
41. Vladyslav Sirenko - top contender or world champion

49. Gianmarco Cardillo
50. Trey Lippe - fringe contender

 

guido vianello THE GLADIATOR who just turned pro is promising also

 

Kabayel won't be a top contender or even a champion because of lack of power. You can't be top contender if you don't have power. Dubois won't be champion or even contender for the title because of his chin, stamina issues when pressed and his hand speed which is not fast at all. Ajagba has power but lack of technique and stamina issues will fail him at higher level. Tyrone Sponge has some power, some speed and some stamina but you can't just do with some to be a contender or champion. Joyce will be contender but his style will guarantee him brain damage. Wallin won't be a fringe contender or even contender because he lacks so much in terms of skill, head movement and power. Afonin is the new Fedosov, upgraded version if you will. Franklin will most likley end up under fringe contender status. Junior Fa will be a gate keeper because he lacks determination and has lost his skill due to lack of determination which is sad.

 

Nathan Gorman? At #5? He he related to the people who operate Boxrec?

 

Technique and Stamina can be developed and Ajagab’s handlers are intent on moving him slowly which why I think he’ll excel in time. Totally agree with the rest. thing is though I see Kuzmin and Romanov as solid in all departments but with absolutely nothing exceptional, similar to Spong or Rivas. And you need something exceptional to get to the very top, especially if you’re around their size.

 

I hope Dychko is active.

He doesn't have much of a national fan-base with purchasing power, so I think he should follow the Wilder route and build up wins.
I think he's better off to be marketed as a strong dangerous opponent than an A side fighter.

 

World Champions - Hrgovic, Dychko, Teslenko

Top Contenders - Kuzmin, Gorman, Joyce, Sirenko

Bums - Dubois, Franklin, Chaney, Kennedy, Ali
