1. Povetkin- a future top dog,will be among the best heavies for a long time 2.Dimitrenko-excellent jab,not the best chin out there, a little bit stiff,able to beat most of his present rivals,but no match for the handful of elite fighters 3.Malik Scott-fat whale who will be harpooned as soon as he faces a decent name 4.Solis-one of the most naturally talented and promising young guys out there,lacks a good punch though 5.Kevin Johnson- well..................... 6.Boytsov-rising gifted puncher who has disappointed in his last outings to a ring,needs to go out with blazing guns looking for a quick ko instead of trying to imitate Chris Byrd,should change his coach 7.Arreola-has pop in his fists,doubt that he has the right attidude towards his chosen profesion 8.Pianeta-too limited to make a lot of noise,more or less on Johnson's level 9.Ustinov-big fellow who can punch,interesting fighter,we still dont know for sure which way the cat jumps,has to come up against stiff resistance to judge him correctly 10.Wawrzyk-still needs to learn one or two things before he can fight a good journeyman,no need to rush him into big fights,talented Kretschman is a big heavy weight with a good punch,very stiff,but the jury is still out on him,has shown some convincing performances.
You are right,mate! Zuev kicked his ass and knocked him down at the olympics. Zuev is a good amateur,but he was brutally knocked out by Alexeev who now campains at cruiser weight in the paid ranks. A pity that Alexeev is too small to give it a try at the heavies.He has the firepower to stop most of the present fighters at heavyweight. Alexeev vs Haye would be a great fight!
Good anylyses! I agree pretty stongly. But about Malik Scott I have to disagree, he is talanted as is Kevin Johnson. They are the two best American prospects!
Malik Scott may be among America's best prospects,but that doesnt mean that much nowadays,toney! I am absolutely not sold on him. I cant really see much potential in him. Besides he will keep fighting no-hopers,limited journeymen,and hardly recognisable names on his home turf in the states for years. A protected American with a padded record! He should move his ass over to europe and fight one of the decent heavies there.The best heavies on this planet are european based.
Kevin Johnson, I dunno man, I'm really not feeling it with him. He projects the image of a killer but he's much more of a conventional points boxer. An old Seldon seemed to surprise and even rattle him in the first round before tiring.
