    Replace witherspoon with haye and you got yourself a decent list which alot of boxing experts seem to think is quite accurate. In regards to solis he has alot of talent but he is very overweight and looks pretty lazy unless he gets his act together i can't se him doing anything.

    Witherspoon doesn't belong near the top 5, IMO. Dimitrenko would be well above him, as would Boytsov, and I've even put some of the third tier US prospects (K. Johnson, T. Walker) ahead of him.

    Ever seen Boytsov and Dimitrenko fight?
    They're worse than Spoon.

    Yes I have, and no they're not, at least in my opinion.

    Things will look good for the Heavyweight division with Povetkin, Solis, Arreola, Dimitrenko and Mormeck.

    This is something of a contradiction.

    Mormeck the Cruiserweight? He'll get killed at heavyweight.

    A world class record, you mean? Of course not.

    If you're asking about our relative predictive abilities, though, I would be happy to create a list of the 5 most likely heavyweights to get belts, you may do likewise, and we will see the results in the coming year or two.

    That Witherspoon looked crap against some flat bloke with no hair.

    If he's the future of the heavyweight division I'm a Dutchman's uncle.
