***The Official Heavyweight Prospects Discussion Thread***

Nice. Thanks.

 

My oppinion on everyone I have seen:

Glazkov- the pick of the bunch. A complete fighter. Needs better mangement

Pulev- Got all the skills but seems like he's sleeping in there sometimes. Fights to the level of his opponent. He could do just enough to be a champ...or he could be another Audley.

Helenius- Will go as far as his fragile hands/shoulder/whatver take him. I see him a being a Bonecrusher Smith type- he just isn't very fluid or skilled, but his size, power and chin will get him far, if he remains healthy.

Dinu- Same story as Glazkov, only non-existent management. Will probably never maximize his potential

Ortiz- the sleeper of the bunch. Big, powerful, southpaw, over 300 amatuer fights...

Perez- Powerful, but diminutive. Doesn't seem to be anything special skill wise. Slightly overrated at this time. Lets see how he developes first.

Boytsov- Been waiting on this guy for years. Said he would be better after his hand surgeries, and yet gave us this the stinker agaisnt Guinn. I give up.

Price- A massive upside of size,skill and power, will go as far as his chin takes him.

Towers- Haven't really seen much of him to be honest, but he is over 30 and going nowhere fast. Big fight coming up.

Fury- Size, some power to the body, stamina when he trains, throws a lot of punches in combination, enigmatic chin that held up well against Chisora and Mcdermott but failed him against Pajkin, crappy footwork, sloppy defense, and a supposedly "ambidextrous" despite the fact that his southpaw stance looked to be a bust. This guy is really an enigma. I think at some point he will put it all together, he is only 23 after all. But I would not take on a Kllit brother any time soon.

Wach- big, clumsy, improving power, over 30 and still laregely untested. I see him getting beat by VK before the latter retires.

Warwzyk- Big and solid, but seems to lack anything special.

Spilka- At this point, so highly overrated because of hype that it is hard to tell. A natural cruiser, will his power hold up as he fights better competion? What about that chin? Good luck to him.

Stiverne- usually in terrible shape. Was lucky to beat Austin. Power and that is it.

Wilder- I still hope the best, but it is apparent that this guy has no chin.

Dawejko- A joke at heavyweight. He needs to get down to crusier.

Chakiev- the opposite of Dawejko- I would like to see him win a crusierweight belt and move up. A very compelte fighter, just small.

Bryant Jennings- I like him, and why not? Good fighter, but lacks power. The man can win some fights.

Mitchell- I really like the guy's power and work ethic. I got a feeling about him.

Malik Scott- stop waisting our time already. This guy has been a "prospect" for years. He is not serious about his career, period.

Kelvin Price- Too old. Should have moved up more quickly. too bad too, because he had enough talent to deraill Tor Hammer.

Abdulsalamov- Crazy power...so far. Not a lot of skill, so will probably go as far as his power and chin takes him.

Rozhnov- Made a bold debut against Owen Beck, and people who remember him from the amatuers are enthusiatic about him. Problem is that he is only really fighting for money, and admits that he is starting his pro career with a lot of wear and tear from the amatuers.

Gerber- Haven't seen a lot of him but seems to have big power.

Charr- Future gatekeeper.

Lucus Brown- Throw him in there because of size and power. Still laregly unproven.

Also will keep an eye on this Dillon White.

 

Dillian Whyte is fighting Noureddine Meddoune in May. Medduone is built like a unit & fights like a maniac, should be a entertaining fight.
