    How is this even a question ? LOL

    Jalolov. 6'7, 250 pounds. He is a southpaw Vitali Klitschko with triple the power and mobility like Oleksandr Usyk. Nobody can stop him. He will murder Aj with ease and give Fury hell. As a matter of fact i think he'll replace Fury as the next best heavyweight, just like Fury replaced Wladimir Klitschko

    Yoka. I don't think he is the best of the lot, I just think he is being better managed than the eastern euros and he will get the right opportunities.

    Isn't Jalolov up for the medal? If he gets it, definitely him.

    Hrgovic and Jalolov seem the best to me - with the latter having the most potential. If Jalolov somehow fails to win the gold - he's going to be giving the division an excuse to overlook him. And you can bet that the promoters who have made huge, earlier bets with other fighters will want no part of him coming along to destroy their investments.

    And speaking of that particular problem...

    Mahkmudov is too obviously a high risk - low reward (he's a relative unknown except among serious boxing fans) fighter - so he isn't getting fights. It's possible he'll never got a decent shot. Might not have a complete skillset, but good lord can the man hit.

    Dubois will, of course, smash the plodding Cusumano to bits. Which tells us nothing at all. The division is pretty croweded at the top and Dubois is still very young - so I think Warren will keep him laying low on undercards for another year or so. It's really tough for me to say what his overall prospects are. Nathan Gorman is a very skillful, smart fighter...if somewhat limited physically...and Dubois just rolled right over him. But Daniel could do nothing to prevent Joe Joyce from working that eye and while he was winning rounds - he was never breaking Joe down...despite having lots of power to work with.

    Joe Joyce's career trajectory has been seriously messed up recently. He's a guy who can't afford to wait for long. I find Joe a bit too willing to eat shots to land his own. He may be plodding and lacking of handspeed - but he's pretty educated and he can punch. I put him a step below Jalolov and Hrgovic, though, and he's running out of time.

    Yoka is building a nice skillset. While I think they are managing him well enough, he's not a guy who's really captured the imagination of boxing fans...so he will have to wait in line for a bit.

    Too soon to say much about Wardley, Anderson or Sirenko. Wardley took down Molina, but the latter was already a spent force. Anderson had a couple nice wins earlier - but his management seems to be caving to the temptation to pad his record with easy KOs. Sirenko had a nice UD over Sokolowski...but in his 15th pro fight.


    The HW division is packed right now - but with Warren & Hearn having their typical pissing war and Fury not taking things seriously....the division seems back to the bad old days of 2016. Which means many exciting up-and-coming fighters are forced to play a waiting game. Which also means they will be protecting 0's and not fighting one another.

    One last thought - Frank Sanchez needs to be on this last. He's tremendously educated and seems to be able to fight almost any style he needs to fight. I would have picked him to beat Agjaba. I think he's the most overlooked fighter in the division and, possibly, on par with Hrgovic.

    Anderson hasn't proven much but I'm sure he's going to get his shot, can't say the same for the other names on the list except a couple of the Brits but I'm not sure which yet since the pipeline is more crowded there and some upsets have been happening.

    Jalolov is going to have a very, very hard time finding opponents. I fear his pro career will be a 15 low key fights to pay the rent.
