The top 5 European HW's excluding Klits & Haye

I like Perez & Fury as young heavyweights whilst maybe Ustinov can step it up in 2011. Also I hope we see more of Dallas & Price.

 

A good big man is always going to be hard to beat. Valuev was world champ ffs, so you would have to say the Helenius, Price and Fury could have a chance.

Sosnoski was more durable that I expected and could show up Dimetreko but I feel he has already reached his level and is unlikely to win a world title.

The most talented prospects in Europe are Povetkin, Boystov and Perez.

 

Ustinov is horrible. He's going nowhere anytime soon.

 

With a proper training camp and neutral judges I think Sprott would have beaten Ustinov.

I'd like Adamek to get the Peter fight out of the way and then challenge Vitali.

 

He didn't just lose his hunger - he got hepatitis! The fight with Skelton was a warm-up fight and, despite bashing Matt around for most of the 12 rounds - he was clearly struggling with his fitness.

After that, more illness, the the rematch with Valuev who forced him to vacate the title as he was 'ill'. That's one of Sauerland's most corrupt stunts, signing the fight knowing he'd fail the blood test.

Then, when Haye dropped out against Wlad, he got offered that fight. I don't think his hunger's the issue - I think it's poor health and a lack of fights.

 

:good
