Your favorite heavyweight prospect?

He's a long ways away, but I'm keeping my eye on Tor Hamer. He seems to be much more skillful than other recent American HW prospects.

 

tor hamer looks like he drinks a 12 pack of bud light every saturday

 

You sure you're thinking of the right guy? Hamer is built like a tank.

David Haye a prospect ? Yeah undisputed cruiserweight champion is just a "prospect" .

Haye is probably a top5 HW, now if thats just a prospect then what do you class as a contender ?!

 

i saw one of his pro fights on SNY and his physique wasnt impressive

 

Haye for me...but I'm not sure if guys like Haye and Povetkin are prospects anymore.

Denis Boytsov isn't bad either.

 

Yeah they look really fast, both in condition aswell. FFS HEAVYWEIGHTS.

 

His only pro fight so far.

This is a pic from the same day as that fight, fwiw.

If interested, here's an interesting article on Hamer:

He's a bit more upright than Toney and somehow more static than even Toney. He's using that shell but he's not crouching and making the target smaller. I suppose we wouldn't expect that from a heavy...

Yeah he looks okay in a really raw kinda way. Got to worry about his chin considering the guy he lost to.

 

I really wonder why Tor Hamer isnt talked about much more. He is the Tysontype that people just love.

 

There is a young cuban fighting out of ireland think his name is perez?

Watch him he looks very promising, very fast hands, powerful and very well schooled.

 

I posted a thread on this guy a few months back, but it didn't get very many responses. I too think that he can make some noise in the heavyweight division, but he is still a bit raw. I didn't know that Lewis was his agent, that's cool. The last time I checked Don King was managing him.

 

Deontay Wilder and Tor Hamer are two of my favorites. I think both have the potential to make noise in the division.

 

Tor Hamer? Thor's Hammer? i mean, fitting really...
