    If Denis Boytsov stepped up it would definitely be him I like his style a lot. Out of the list though Vitali, also I like Alexander Povetkin and a few prospects.

    I'd have to go with the Ring magazine's #1 ranked in heavyweigh: Wladimir. Or Vitali. Either one of them, they're like 1a and 1b. I'm not a big fan of the heavyweight division right now, but in terms of fighter, the 2 brothers DO dominate the the division, even if a lot of people want to talk crap about them. Even David Haye doesn't want anything to do with them! There were a couple of good fighters up until now who were thought to be a threat to the brothers, but they ended up knocking them out.

    I think Robert Helenius is a big threat to Wlad's egg chin. I know Robert Helenius looked bad in his last fight but at least he showed he can hang in there in hard fights. Robert Helenius will be a heavyweight Champion.

    Wlad, Vitali is a close second, Adamek, Arreola for the most part, Travis Walker always a fun fight, Leapai always in a good fight

    Huck really impressed me and i think Chisora may have a future if he learns from the defeat vs Vitali

    Malik Scott, Amir Monsour, Seth Mitchell, Perez, Povetkin, Price , Wilder, Chisora, Pulev..
    Some decent names who can still cause some problems ... even Helenius if he cleans his act up....

    From that list, it has to be Marco Huck, he fights regularly, always gives 100% and is good to watch. He should have got the nod against Povetkin as well.

    David Price is my current favourite heavyweight though.

    I like Price too, but I'm worried he's being poorly managed and not been fighting often enough.

    When an up-and-comer keeps KOing his opponents in an early round, he should be fighting 5-6 times per year. Yes, he did have an injury last year, but before that he'd wasted months. He turned pro about the same time as Helenius, yet has far fewer fights.

    Wlad fought 14 times in 1997, Mike Tyson fought 17 times in a year when he was an up-and-comer.
