    It's very hard to assess prospects because all of them fight subpar opposition and it's easy to look good against weak opponents.

    Bakhody Jololov is another one who might do things in heavyweight division. He still a amateur but fights a pro also that gives him extra experience going forward. He has power and hand speed to trouble most heavyweights.

    Stormin Norman,
    Shades of Foreman,
    Nantwich's finest,
    Nathan Gorman,
    Steps in the ring without a care,
    Has few worries, has no hair,
    Punches fly both fast and hard,
    His torso shielded by layers of lard,
    Watch his uppercut, very tricky,
    And that hook he learned from Ricky,
    As the punishment he is dishing,
    Has no thought for his conditioning,
    Looks like every nightclub doorman,
    Nantwich's finest,
    Nathan Gorman,

    Hope Levit will turn pro. He should be a serious threat to anyone.

    I like Hrgovic best, but there are loads to chose from. Don't get the Yoka love and I think people are prematurely excited about Dychko, but we shall see.

    Hrgovic was not taken the distance by Little. Sean Turner.

    Hrgovic easily. He's got the foundation of what you need for success today. Size, reach, chin, skills, power, speed, mobility, a punch variety, toughness and a good worth ethic. He's being moved quickly for a reason.

    Dychko has ability, but he does not his as hard, and isn't as fast. I do like his timing though.

    For now, Joyce is ahead of Dychko.

    Its a deep bunch of young guns. We'll see who ends up on top in 3 years.

    I think now it's more like who looks leaner type of thing for most. Just like with Andy Ruiz Jr, he beat the champion in his own backyard but still didn't get the deserved credit because of his looks mostly and his height.

    Evgeny Romanov is in my Top 5 heavyweights list. He still have time for 2 more fights against decent/good opposition this year. I think he is the guy who is overlooked because people just don't know about him much and look at him as a short cruiser weight.

    I remember how everybody was excited about Helenius, Price and Parker but overlooked heavyweights like Takam and Andy Ruiz Jr because they were shorter heavyweights or not lean looking in case of Andy. And everything is repeating once again with most judging by how lean and tall heavyweights are, this is hilarious, do your research folks.

    If we judge by the looks than only Hrgovic from prospects can be the champion but there is more than that. Dychko as tall and lean he is still lost to Kuzmin in every on every ocasion they fought in amateurs. Yoka is another example he lean tall like most of you like but still lost by vicious KO to Demerizen and Demerizen is shorter and not that lean looking. I think this is just reflection of our society.

    I base opinion on fight for fight basis now because of opposition of most heavyweight prospect. For me Hrgovic has holes in his game but I have to see more of him to judge more clearly. Kuzmin looks great and I think will KO clean Price. Dycko mosstly will face subpar opposition untill he is 15/0 or 20/0 because of expectations of him from his promoter. Dychko promoter won't take any risky fights for foreseeable future because they are afraid to mess up and that is understandable. As for Dubois he looks great against decent journeyman but can he win when he is hit left and right by fast and huge blows?! All of this remains to be seen....

    He was a free agent and is a free agent and refused to sign few promotional and sponsorship contracts because of slave like nature of these contracts but from what he explained the inactivity comes from amateur and pro boxing merging into one piece in Russia.
