    Who is your favorite heavyweight prospect?


    I have quite a few names on my list, but the one that I am most impressed by is Bermane "B.WARE" Stiverne with a record of 15-1 with 15 knockouts!

    His amatuer record was 48-10 with a shed load of knockouts, with noticeable wins like knocking out David Price.

    He has none other than Lennox Lewis as his agent!

    His style reminds me of James Toney with a lot of explosive punching power.

    toney wouldn't have been tko'd in his 13th fight by someone who was 11-15 (more losses than wins)

    my fav prospect is david haye who is exciting for a number of reasons. mainly because he has no fear, can bang and has a suspect chin.

    I'm talking about styles mate, easy... :lol:

    He's got a loss, but didn't Hopkins also suffer a loss early in his career, what about the tijuana tornado?

    Watch the youtube clip and you will see he's a natural fighter who can counterpunch with a whole lot of power.

    Yeah, he needs to get moving fast.
    But hey, 31 is not too old for a heavyweight.

    Both guys in this video look better than most top heavyweights. Fast combinations.

    And Wlad was K.O'd by Ross Purrity.

    However, I don't think that kid looks TOO great (though he looks good, and is surely too old for me to be calling him a kid)

    I go with Denis Boystov. Whilst he might be exposed as a, ahem, 'Eurobum', he seems to have skills, strength and decent power.

    Of course, if we consider The Hayematrix as a 'prospect' then I'd have to say him. The man is fearless, and if he loses, he will literally take it on the chin :)

    I like Boytsov, but I would rather see Ulli Wegner train him than Fritz Sdunek.
