    I figured Ergashev would be Sugarhill's first titlist until Fury and him hooked up. It's going to be hard climbing those rankings outside of Top Rank though.

    It's really hard to gauge at this point but it will be interesting to see if his power has an impact against tougher opposition. I'd welcome any insights from anyone who is well informed about him technically, but I just feel that if his chin is solid ... his size and strength makes him formidable if nothing else.

    Obviously, he hasn't been committed to boxing as he could be, but the name recognition and contacts his dad brings might give him an advantage getting on under-cards against recognizable names.

    Kind of think 'dark horse' is an apt tag for him, at least as far as the Australian/NZ heavyweight scene goes. He's 24 or 25 I think so has some time on his side.

    Arslanbek Makhmudov....I think he can punch holes through a wall.

    I liked the look of raw talent the kid had a few years back as well. But he's been inactive as hell. Still young enough to succeed though.

    I don't necessarily see him as a future World Champion but Brad Foster has only had 14 fights and is improving all the time. Definitely one to watch.

    Mladen Miljas. The kid is a killer. 12-0 (12 KO's) @ Heavyweight. 6'6"- Monster right hand and left hook. Keep you eyes out for 'Monster' Mladen in the coming year. He's about to become a mainstay in the Heavyweight division

    Liam Williams, Umar Salamov despite not being undefeated are both young and I expect them to become world champions and strong forces in their weightclass.

    Serhii Bohachuk, Artem Oganesyan and Christian M'billi surprisingly don't get mentioned amongst the best prospects in boxing . They look excellent.

    Oleksandr Zakhozhyi and Gary Cully are improving with each fight, I feel they have strong long term potential.

    Correct. Tischenko and Egorov both look like they can reign for a long time at Cruiserweight.

    Liam Williams is starting to look really serious business.
