    Inspired by a tangential offshoot under the Pulev vs. Glazkov topic...

    Here is the pool of 30 names. Sort them as you will, and let's all compare notes! :cheers

    To spice it up, I'll make Povetkin eligible for inclusion with the expectation that most will have him #1...but I'm curious to see if maybe a few put him lower.

    (click names for Boxrec pages)

    Alexander Povetkin, 33 - Russia 25-0 (17)
    Kubrat Pulev, 31 - Bulgaria 17-0 (9)
    Vyacheslav Glazkov, 28 - Ukraine 14-0 (10)
    Denis Boytsov, 26 - Russia 31-0 (25)
    Tyson Fury, 24 - United Kingdom 20-0 (14)
    Bryant Jennings, 28 - United Sates 16-0 (8.)
    David Price, 29 - United Kingdom 15-0 (13)
    Robert Helenius, 28 - Finland 18-0 (11)
    Malik Scott, 32 - United States 35-0 (12)

    Richard Carmack, 24 - United States 12-0 (10)
    Francesco Pianeta, 28 - Italy 28-0-1 (15)
    Magomed Abdusallamov, 31 - Russia 16-0 (16)
    Deontay Wilder, 27 - United States 26-0 (26)
    Artur Szpilka, 23 - Poland 12-0 (9)
    Leif Larsen, 37 - Norway 17-0 (14)

    We can also shoot off guesses or place gentleman's bets on who's going to lose their zero first. :deal

    I'm not sure of guys who are 30+ and are officially belt holders should
    be counted as prospects .... similarly holding zero at the age of 35+
    and never being relevant so far (Larzen, Manousr, Rodriguez) is hardly
    counting as being prospect, they needs around 1-2 years to establish
    themselves as legit contenders, at that time the age call for retirement.

    otherwise ... where is Holyfield at your list?

    By the time the Klitschko brothers retire for good, all but maybe 3-4 names on that list will belong to thirty-somethings or forty-somethings (Fujimoto, Dinu, Rivas and Carmack might still be in their twenties)

    First of all, dippy, who on that list is a belt holder?

    All the legitimate belts are in the possession of one Klitschko brother or the other, or Povetkin.

    2nd, did I hallucinate Holyfield losing all those times? :roll:

    This is about ranking unbeaten heavyweights...all of whom are currently prospects or prospect/contenders. NONE of them are world titlists. :hi:

    Interesting thread. A few London 2012 HWs will also come into the mix at some stage too.

    This (below) looks fine to me, except I'm not sure about Boytsov ... he really has to beat someone better than a faded Dominick Guinn to have any cred.

    1) Pulev
    2) Glazkov
    3) Boytsov
    4) Fury
    5) Jennings
    6) Price
    7) Helenius
    8.) Scott
    9) Perez
    10) Ortiz

    Have also read that Vincent Thompson (USA) 12-0 has some potential.

    you just answered your question, Povetkin
    IS OFFICIALLY beholder and he should not be counted as a prospect ...
    adding to that ... he will not be unbeaten in March 2013 anymore,
    .....

    with Holyfield (outside the two title shots when he was robed)
    he is unbeaten since 2006 ... he is still the best what US can offer these days.

    IB....do you have a genuine dislike for Rodriguez?

    I mean he may be a little arrogant,and he is getting up there in age, 36, but he'd truly murder half those guys you have ranked ahead of him, and there's really no arguing it.:think

    Carmack

    Wallische

    Still holding out hope that Helenius was merely pulling his shots vs Tank.

    If the injury is non reparable, he's toast.

    Havent seen many of those guys, but from what Ive read, and the hype surrounding them, thats a fair assessment from my perspective.

    Anyone remember the name of the new K2 HW. Young guy, SP, big, and moving along well prior to promotional problems, but still has managed a respectable 15-0 record I think.

    Dydenko or some ****?:huh

    Got him a colombian necktie last New Yrs.

    Got back in the gym in May and was scheduled to fight Quezada and Zumbano Love. Had venues for both, but then he tore a miniscus in his knee.

    He's back in the gym and his ppl are setting up fights with the guys Ive mentioned.

    Of course he himself is talking Klitschko, but seems he's actually considering moving up from C to B level without trying to jump straight from journeyman to world champ.:yep

    you're welcome. :)

    , if you pay attention you'd see that it's explained in the OP why I edited Povetkin into the list. I'm assuming that most rank him #1 due to the mere fact of being a world titlist (and he's more accomplished than the rest even if he wasn't one at the moment) but it seemed worth checking to see if anybody might bump someone else ahead of him based on h2h potential as a heavier criteria if he was included. This is all subjective, so it's whatever mix of criteria people want to use to rank them.

    See how in my list, Pulev is listed at #1? Originally Povetkin wasn't even in the conversation, but I decided to go ahead and throw his name in for the hell of it...and I'm not going to edit the whole title just to reflect his inclusion.

    Holyfield is irrelevant to bring up in this conversation and you know it. Don't be obtuse. "Unbeaten since 2006" - LOL! Very creative.
