    Boytsov has been a prospect for wayyyy to long. He needs to step it up. Adamek stepped it up after 1 fight, there is no reason for this long wait.

    Adamek is a throwback fighter. He belongs to the old gaurds when fighters fought everyone there is to fight.

    That being said, Boytsov is something like 24, and just had surgery to repair a chronic hand injury. He has a lot of time on the clock.

    Wilder has a lot of upside. Unfortuantely Boytsov, Pulev and that big Finn and probably Price are all better than him, at the moment! At least the U.S. can hopel So what else is new???

    Funny thing about Price is that even the Brits don't seem to have a lot of confidence in him. The wrap is always that he is big and has all the skills, but maybe chinny and lacks confidence.

    I agree with you on Price.

    Fury would beat him handily in my opinion. For all the **** Fury gets for uppercutting himself in the face he's not had a bad first 10 fights.

    Price has faced nothing but flat out bums - just watch a few on Youtube.... one quit after the first punch and the last opponent was pregnant :-(

    All said and done I still quite like fury. People don't realize he is, what, 20-22. At his height, he is a good ten years off of his physical prime. At 6'7-6'9, he has fast hands, throws lots of punches in combinations, and with good power to the body. He can take as long as he wants to develope.

    The problem I see with him is that he seems to have terrible motivation to loose weight and improve. He is always going on about not having sparring, and yet he won't leave his comfortable little nest to go and find it.

    If this man finds some motiviation, he could be a completely different fighter in 5 years. Will he make the commitment...?

    He has time to wait for either Klit to retire and he would be still in his prime :D

    The day the Klits retire from boxing, is the day the HW division turns to ****.

    Id imagine your going to see a load of BS fights, a load of title changes,and horrible matchmaking / title defenses. The Klitschkos are really saving this division, despite what thier haters tell you.

    The Klitschko's are putting this division in check.

    Boytsov is just 24 years old. He has all the time to get more experienced.

    There isn't any sparring in the UK for him.

    Any realistic sparring partner is a potential opponent within the next 12 months or so.

    He's a bit like Ricky Hatton in that he doesn't like leaving his home comforts - the difference is that Hatton had plenty of fighters to spar with in his own gym, realistically from 130-154.

    In truth, he is better off training with his uncle rather than the other trainers in the local area, who will make (in his view) unrealistic demands on him...... or are basically **** trainers.

    The lad's got a lot of potential - two wins over McDermott, one by stoppage, and a few over decent contenders at British title level.

    I've been a fan from the word go, and really hope he has a good career.

    This is true, but people complain when there is a dominant champion. Joe Louis had a ton of detractors (bum of the Month), Holmes had a ton of detractors.

    Bue when there isnt a dominant champion ala the Byrd, Ruiz, Rhamn days they complain. You cant really satisfy the fans.

    Mike Perez is a prospect who has a good chance of winning a world title.
