    Look, here is my point:

    POVETKIN, 42, looked like the middle-aged Covid patient that he is
    WHYTE, 32, did not really redeem himself at all, and never should have had to
    WILDER, 35, exposed
    PARKER, 29, ironically, his best days are past him before 30
    RUIZ, 31, disgraced boxing and needs a lot of rebuilding
    CHISORA, 37, not going to get any better
    ORTIZ- 41, but probably really 51
    USYK, 34, I love the guy, but most fans are not sold.
    PULEV, 39, finsihed

    My point is, if these goddamned promotors want to make some money, they need to start pushing some new heavies. This lot is finished, and obviously so. Yeah, there might be a couple of good fights left in here (I still believe in Usyk), but it is time to agree on a house cleaning.

    Lots of talent out there. Let's see it.

    Agreed, we seem to have been waiting forever for Hergovic, Yoka, Ajagba etc to mature into contenders!

    We had Dubois, the future Mike Tyson. And the old Joyce kicked his butt. The talent isn't there right now.

    Don't worry he's gonna still try and push Fabio Wardley first who has a long way to go before going past British level.

    Any top prospects likely to turn over after the Olympics?

    Feel like you lost all credibility when you said you think Ortiz is only 51 when it's common knowledge he used to babysit Moses

    There’s not one active heavyweight in the lower rankings that I see as a real all time great future undisputed heavyweight champion.

    Hopefully we have Fury-AJ, Hunter-Hrgovic and Usyk-Joyce coming up. Parker and Chisora are also fighting in a less than mouthwatering bout, as are Ruiz and Arreola. Pulev, Povetkin and Ortiz all need to retire, Wilder too in all likelihood. Whyte-Ruiz would be a good one to make but I suspect Whyte will fight grandpa Ortiz instead.

    Let's throw out some names. I will leave off Joyce and Yoka, since their careers are getting a push, so they are not really what I am talking about here.

    JARED ANDERSON- 21, some compare him to a poor man's Bowe

    AJAGBA- 26, I am not sold on the guy, but he looks the part and has a following

    GASSIEV- 27, cruiserweight champ with solid wins, who is known for heavyweight power. I want to see more of this guy.

    BAKOLE- 27, a fan favorite, has a bit of a following

    JALOLOV- 27, hard puncher with solid amatuer career.

    STEPHAN SHAW- 28, a big swarmer with some power

    SANCHEZ- 28, has a following. I have not seen him but would like him to have a chance.

    HRGOVIC- 29, Olympic bronze medalist...some felt he should have gone higher

    WALLIN- 30, gave Fury hell because he is a hell of a fighter

    MAKHMUDOV- 31, started late but he is a huge bruiser who has taken no punishment.

    DYCHKO- 31, Olympic Broze Medalist. 6'9" with skills.

    KOSSOBUTSKIY- 32, A rival to Dychko, a lot of us like this guy.

    HUNTER- 32, we all know the man. Let's get him some fights.

    Parker isn't washed, just that he hasn't had to get himself up for a fight for quite a while because he has been fighting low level opposition so he ain't gonna look his best

    I am predicting that he will lose to Chisora. I like the guy, but his heart is clearly not in it.

    The neat thing is that I just did my list, and we only share one name. There are literally dozens of guys who could use chances.
