Who will be the next first time heavyweight champion of the world?

Pulev is a bad man, but I think he pulled out of the Platov fight and decided to rest up a bit. Probably a smart move given the pace he was going.

He will definately be champ in a couple of years.

 

The one circumstance where Fury could become world champ: if Fury became the #1 contender and Fury faced him in an eliminator, and then got KTFO by Fury...then fought Fury for a vacant title.

 

yea, he has that "tough european" look to him, lolz
but he has kind of a soft, friendly to him, so i could see him on talk shows on stuff, like david letterman, i can really picture it now :thumbsup

 

If I thought Solis didn't use up his "hunger" in the amateurs, I'd say definitely him. But he's clearly got a different hunger competing with any professional championship hunger he might have. Adamek looks most likely to me.

 

Solis: bigger bust than Gomez?

 

I like him. He should topple a fellow Euro, maybe a giant pretender like Ustinov to build up his name, and then work his way onto American TV.

He could be a good Emanuel Steward project.

 

He is, more than likely, gonna get to about the B level, then THUD.........someone brutalizes him and he never progesses any further.

 

Hey, man. Gomez had a double-digit title run at CW before busting at HW. Or do you mean bust like

Great talent, and he is also, like Helenius, getting some hand surgery that should restore his punching power. He should be a champ someday, but he is moving at a very slow pace, his best wins to date being Bidenko, Gavern, and Pala.

 

Uh,...Arreola outclassed by a cruiserweight, Kevin Johnson is fighting a guy listed at 6-2. So, nothing.

 

Wow, people still watch heavyweights?:huhI guess I'm in the wrong thread. Sorry!:hi:
