    I've been planning a Trans-Continental HW rankings thread for a while but never seem to find the time to get around to it. I've been thinking of a Ugonah thread as well.

    But that's a good list Anatolian, although I'm not sure I'd rank Kuzmin that highly and I haven't seen enough of Alfonso.

    Thanks :good I think Kuzmin is underrated because of his shape, gotta admit he wasn't as good as Medhzidov-Omarov-Hrgovic-Dychko, he was one of the most complete amateur SHWs and he's been carrying it to pro ranks so far. Only Pulev was moved as fast as him as far as I can tell.

    Alfonso hasn't been able to sign with a good promoter yet, maybe because his cautious style. I'm pretty sure he'll make big noises when he steps up with a known journeyman.

    A thread for HW prospects like you did for MW and LHWs would be great :cool:

    Alfonso was supposed to fight in Korea in October but appears to have fallen off that show with no trace when the bouts were announced this week. Might not have been a bad idea to sign with AK and chase fights against the guys in the South Pacific if he couldn't get anyone else to back him

    Breazeale a better prospect than Kuzmin?? :admin
    Have never seen Breazeale fight so far.Must look up some of his fights in order to get a first hand impression.
    Is he really that good??

    Breazeale is sorta like a slower version of Rid**** Bowe with a lesser ****nal and less effective jab.
    I like his in fighting skills tbh. probably just a bit slow footed and handed .

    *= question them not because of their lack of ability, but dedication to boxing. Kuzmin's physique leaves me questioning how far he'll go, but other than that he seems to be taking boxing very seriously and moving quicker than a lot of prospects.

    I also factored age into this.. I tried to pick as many young heavyweights I could with high upside.

    I see only one Heavyweight Eastern Bloc fighter there Kuzmin, where are all the others EE's? They must probably be playing another sport :nut:silly
