How Heavyweight Prospects Stack Up In My Estimation From Great Right Down To Crappy.

oops yep sorry. Got mixed up with Jason Whateley.

 

Yep Willis Meehan is the pick of the bunch for me, australasian-wise. Looks to be very professional in his approach and has that mongrel. Junior Fa not far behind him. He had some health problems and looks much healthier in his last interview. Add to that the invaluable sparring he's getting in the Wilder camp. December 15th he's fighting Rossi, a 6'6 former cruiserweight title challenger. His performance in that bout should be markedly better than his recent lackluster showings. If she struggles again then maybe he can be relegated to the future journeyman pile. Patrick Mailata, who has fought for the British Lionhearts has good size and experience and could make a noise at the commonwealth/australasian level. There could be some good local/ trans-tasman dust - ups in the near future, but I dare say they'll be kept away from eachother for a good while.

 

Very interesting thread! Well done job cst!

 

I don't know. The Turk looked more like a decent journeyman in his last fight against that polish based Ukrainian than a future fringe contender. If the Ukrainian had not run out of gas he might have even won their encounter

 

Many many ages ago I thought that Germany 's Wallish would be able to make some noise at the big boys' league. He had it all:youth, mental toughness power, punch, talent, size . Well, obviously due to his inactivity and problems outside the ring he has lost all motivation and hunger for this game. His heart isn't into it anymore. He has been lethargic without any determination in his last outings to a ring. He is scheduled to take on Hammer in his next fight . He should quit the pro game if he shows a lacklustre performance once again. Reminds me a bit of Alexander Frenkel a once very promising cruiser.

 

Ajagba = too high. Very green and slow

Yoka -way too high. Has the worst chin of everyone on the list. Got knocked out plenty of tines. Lost loads of times, all his best wins were gifts .Feathefisted average ped cheat fraud

Teslenko -too low

Franklin - too high, very unimpressed by him.

Dubois - too high, robotic stiff , slow, mentally weak fraud.

Bakole - too high, looked loke a china chinned bum in his last fight.

Sheehan -too high, hes a ****ing feather fisted bum with nothing to offer, should be in the lowest group.

Zakhozhyi - too high, should be in the be in the bottom group. Too Raw with way too much to work on.

Miljas - too low, should be higher, decent prospect

 

Well the no amateur experience worked well for a number of boxers... including Dillian Whyte who had a very succesful (hardly destructive) career so far. Anyways... Spong is fighting Andy Ruiz Jr next... so not a bad step up.
I support Spong... I don't preach him to be an elite boxer or future champ... but someone.who will make an interesting splash. Just showing recognition. Not hyping.

 

I predict Gassiev wont be a force at heavyweight. Arms are too short.

 

Fa for me will be nothing more than a journeyman. He's like a poor mans Kubrat Pulev which isn't a good thing. Hemi Ahio looks the most impressive to me out of the Kiwis but he's too small to make waves in the division imo and I have doubts about his chin if he's getting dropped by the likes of Alipati A'asa. Having said that, I still think he'll go further than Fa and certainly has a far more fan friendly style where as Fa can be dire to watch. Glad to see Meehan commit to boxing and it will be interesting to see how Mailata progresses. It would have been good to see Mailata on the Parker card next week but never mind.

 

Thoughts on Vianello? not sure what to make of him yet.

 

Maybe Teslenko should be in your top 10 Hottest male boxers ratings? (Gay)

 

I think Gvozdyks looks are overrated and Teslenko should be a top 10 cause hes a heavyweight and good looking, a lot of women like big guys.

Saul Alvarez, Jamie Cox, Felix Cash, Hosea Burton, Anthony Ogogo = all good looking too.
