    Today Junlong stopped a guy who has recently gone the distance with Pulev, Takam, Hughie Fury and Boytsov...

    Yeah, why not.

    Your thoughts on him?

    Whyte, Breazeale and Washington have arguably graduated to fringe contenders. I'd have Dinu take Whyte's place.

    Old, heavy handed, slow, angry looking... looks like he could be out boxed, but when he lands he seems to do damage. Stopping Arias is no joke.

    Yes, they most definitely could have, was unsure where to place them.

    But Whyte is ranked at 57'th on boxrec. Below the likes of Granat, Kuzmin and Gjergjaj.

    Yeah, but its because he took a loss. That dropped him down on boxrec but also arguably turned him into a fringe contender.

    Fair enough - I will remove them.

    What's your thoughs on Dinu vs Schwarz?

    I pick Schwarz for now - due to the age-factor.

    Interested also in the Olympic 2016 hopefuls. Who are the HW and SHWs to look out for?

    I'm really not clued up on the amateur scene like I was in 2012.

    Not too long ago some guy on here posted an alternitive ranking system for the heavyweights. Couldn't find it, would be nice to check it out again.

    I'm good with Schwarz, like you said, he's around 8 years younger.

    I checked out Izuagbe Ugonoh a little more closely. He looks great, should he be above Schwarz on the prospect list?

    He seems to be only around 6''3' though, and that could be his biggest weakness against the SHW's.
