    Potential -wise, as a gut feeling...
    and I´m an optimist by nature so **** off with these "r u real" comments

    10 - will be able to pose a serious threat to K-Bros
    9 - champ material after the Klitschko era
    8 - TOP 5 HW in the future
    7 - TOP 10 HW in the future
    6 - will make a decent threat but lose big fights
    5 - no chance to be a champ, but tough gatekeeper material
    4 - good journeyman at best
    3 - moving heavy bag for any good fighter
    2 - a piece of ****
    1 - Audley Harrison in Haye fight

    Robert Helenius - 10 (8 or 9 really)
    - I´m biased as hell, but Robbe seems to get better fight after fight. At this point he´d not be a serious threat to K-Bros (still better than Chisora) but in a year or two if he keeps on evolving

    Deontay Wilder - 7, but hoping for 9
    - big guy (6′ 7″), 25 years, hasn´t faced anybody, looks good and fast, I really hope he keeps on progressing

    Kubrat Pulev - 8
    - olympic gold, good defense and technique, has been fighting sort of at half speed, something is missing

    Seth Mitchel - 6
    - 10 amateur fights and 23 handpicked opponents as a pro, 29 years of age, no mentionable scalps, seems like he´s got the heart of warrior and heavy hands, stiff brawler still

    Dennis Boytsov - 9 (maybe 10)
    - a diamond possibly, at least I hope so. Punches with bad intentions. Natural warrior with entertainting aggression

    Mike Perez - 9
    Cuban hurricane, one of my favorites. Pretty similar to Boytsov and a fight between the two would probably be the most entertaining fight in HW´s at the moment.

    David Price - 9
    - 6′ 8″ , fights with his jab - poor man´s Klitschko. I find him dull. If he evolves the Wlad -way he could be hard to overcome for anybody

    Dereck Chisora - 6
    - wife beating *******, I hope that Fury mutilates him in the ring. Pretty fast hands and decent defense.

    Joe Hanks - 4

    They all have great potential for getting the crap beaten out of them by either Klitschko.

    Robert Helenius - 9 very good but will never be great
    Deontay Wilder - 7 raw but with good potential
    Kubrat Pulev - 5 wide open defense, not really impressive
    Seth Mitchel - not sure about this guy
    Dennis Boytsov - 7 good prospect but seems to be regressing a bit
    Mike Perez - 2 garbage, sub Monte Barrett fighter, no real power, small.
    David Price - 9 excellent prospect, shaky chin
    Dereck Chisora - 4 bah
    Joe Hanks - don't know this guy

    I can't believe that people are thinking Perez is a prospect.

    That guy is going nowhere.

    as it seems you have some descent knowledge of most of these guys, i'll defer to you as i've only seen some of helenius and boystov (highlight vid only). sounds a little promising from what you've assessed. could be entering a much better era soon

    side note, why can't we get some of these guys on FNF's (they rarely have any hw prospects) or even cable level undercards (here in the us). fans love heavyweights, lets get these guys some exposure

    Perez doesn't have any power. He has trouble chopping down low level schmoes with a dozen unanswered shots against the ropes, anyone can see that he has light power for a heavyweight.

    Boytsov has real power, not neccesarily 1 punch power but he's a heavy concussive hitter. Comparing him to Perez is a joke.

    There's a reason why Perez is with an Irish promoter and not with any major Euro promoter. He's journeyman in the making if he's lucky.
