Which up-and-coming boxer is most likely to become HW champion?

Definitely Jennings. Mentally and physically he is tough. He boxes very well and uses the ring very well. Takes his time doesn't rush for a ko, but it still happens. Moves like and has that cruiserweight speed and what I really like is his defense. Aside from Wlad, Jennings is probably the most complete fighter at HW. It doesn't matter if he's outgunned, outpowered, he finds a way to win. Reminds me abit of a poor man's version of Holyfield. Has higher ring IQ than most of these guys that went to the Olympics. Got that Philly heart, Philly toughness about him, but he's also very cerebral in the ring.

 

He only beat fat boy Perez on a point deduction. He doesn't have the physical tools to be the best not in this day and age. Fury and Joshua are most likely imo. Id love Parker to dominate he has the most exciting style of the lot

 

Where's the "none of the above" option?

 

I hate jumping on the bandwagon of a less proven prospect . . .but Joshua. And I'm a fan of some of those other guys. None of them were impressing me like Joshua coming up.

 

How come Hasim Rahman is not on yer list sirs?

 

id rank them like this

1st - Anthony Joshua
2nd - Tyson Fury
3rd - joseph Parker
4th - Andy Ruiz
5th - Bryant Jennings
6th - Vyacheslav Glazkov
7th - Deontay Wilder

 

Probably Usyk, he is fighting as a cruiserweight now but at 6 foot 3 inches is Ali 's height and big enough to compete as a heavy. He 's basically a much bigger, stronger and heavier punching version of Chris Byrd. He has bizarre speed especially foot speed and counterpunches well to both head and body. He could be a dark horse in the increasingly interesting heavyweight division. BTW, the heavyweight division has not been boring for the last decade because Wlad has been the champ. His opponents couldn't light a candle to him, talent wise, so his victories seemed so ridiculously easy. Wlad's an all time great heavyweight and would right now slaughter everybody on that above list of contenders.

 

^ good post

 

AJ should become a HW champ, if chin permitting. But not sure how he came out top over Fury, who is close to challenging for a title? AJ still has a few years before he is ready. The only fighter that should beat Fury is Wlad, the rest are all winnable fights for Fury, if he beats Chisora that is....To be honest even Wilder can pick up a strap when Wlad goes. Heck, when Wlad retires, we will see a fair amount of champions before AJ gets the chance.
