View Full Version : Top 5 Heavyweight Prospects

It's time once again to remind the forum that all is not lost in the heavyweight division...
1. Alexander Povetkin -- One of the most accomplished amateur heavies in history, if not the most accomplished. Entertaining style, tough chin, sizable punch, and a varied offense. 13-0-0 (10)
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
2. Eddie Chambers -- Probably the best of the untested American prospects, he seems at the moment to be "Chris Byrd lite"...which is still better than the vast majority of fighters today. May improve with age. 29-0-0 (16)
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
3. Chris Arreola -- Extremely exciting heavyweight, who looks a bit like David Tua but whose offense seems to revolve around the one-two. Consistent body puncher, a hard hitter with high workrate, and a good record. 22-0-0 (20)
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
4. Chazz Witherspoon -- Looking better as of late, he appears to be a skillful boxer-puncher, though he has no real outstanding qualities. Nevertheless, a good prospect.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
5. Odlanier Solis -- Another extremely accomplished amateur heavyweight, and one of the first top Cubans to make the plunge into the professional ranks. He will be an interesting experiment, methinks.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Honorable Mentions
Denis Boytsov -- A knockout machine, though he has recently been rather inactive compared to his early years. 18-0-0 (16).
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Most of the other promising Eastern European boxers--Virchis, Chagaev, Ibragimov--have already graduated to contender status.

Solis right now would abuse Witherspoon and Arreola.

I have seen Chambers and Witherspoon both spar with Wlad. They don't stand a chance now or in the future. After watching them both...I think witherspoon has more upside

Dimentrenko?
would beat chambers .
if dimetrenko does not have to worry about power and chambers has little ,then his sheer size and length , fast jab and feet as well as good stamina will make it that chambers cannot outbox him.

Povetkin is the best prospect for sure. As for other young prospect with less than 20 fights that were not mentioned in this thread, keep an eye on Kober and Kretschmann.
Kober 10-0, 10 Ko's. Kober is technical sound and skilled.
Kretschmann 9-0, 9 Ko's is a very strong south paw puncher with a natural heavyweight build.
The World Amateur championships in Chicago will happen this month. The heavyweight field is deep. Some of the athletes competing will turn professional.

Replace witherspoon with haye and you got yourself a decent list which alot of boxing experts seem to think is quite accurate. In regards to solis he has alot of talent but he is very overweight and looks pretty lazy unless he gets his act together i can't se him doing anything.

Witherspoon doesn't belong near the top 5, IMO. Dimitrenko would be well above him, as would Boytsov, and I've even put some of the third tier US prospects (K. Johnson, T. Walker) ahead of him.

I agree Greenberg is no world beater, but his wins over Michael Simms and Kendrick Releford are more impressive than anything Arreola has done.
Arreola looks OK, but there's no way he's ever winning a title. I do like his aggressiveness though. It's certainly refreshing.

Ok e_a, even cruiserweight contender Marco Huck decisioned Simms pretty convincingly and this only in his 12th pro bout were Greenberg did it in his 25th.
This would conclude that Huck would make it to world contender status based on your observations...do you think so?

Only 21 years old, 18-0 with 16 knockouts(11 in the first round!), has yet to lose a round in his professional career(I believe) and had a brilliant amateur career to boot. His opposition has been pretty poor so far, but it's understandable given his age, and he's been stepping up some lately.

No doubt, Huck is already at world contender status at Cruiserweight.
My point is that Michael Simms is a better opponent, than say Malcolm Tann.
In fairness, it is still early Arreola so there's room for improvement.

Why because he beat a guy that moved up to a different division? That's not logic. Simms is a decent stepping stone in either division.
Simms really didn't do much in either fight-- I've seen them both-- but he is slick and elusive and proved a good test both at 199 and at the 210 he was for Greenberg.
Arreola's best opponent to date has been Tann, who pretty much just laid on the ropes and absorbed punches with little or no defense.
I'm not defending Greenberg as any top contender, he has serious flaws, but I just think it's far, far too early to put much faith in Arreola.
His style looks promising so far, but let him beat a Dominick Guinn type before I even start to get very excited.
SAMI ELOVAARA. He´s gonna take the european union title first. This guy is gonna IMPACT in 2008.

I wouldn't put Witherspoon anywhere near the top 5. maybe Chambers will turn out to be something, but I just don't see it. I haven't seen much of the European fighters other than Povetkin, but I hope they are a hell of alot better than Victor Oganov who was suppose to be a monster at 168. How teh hell did that guy have 26 straight KO's?

That was Damian Wills (23-0) who would easily KO Tann.
Arreola has
*a half decent punch (Greenburg doesn't)
*a tested chin(Greenburg doesn't)
*balls (Greenburg doesn't)

Alekseev is the cruiserweight version of Povetkin at over 200 pounds...he's even more fitting in the pro ranks as a top amateur in comparison to Povetkin IMHO.
And no, I don't think that Timurziev will ever try to fight in the pro ranks - his body will hunt him down to ever fight there...
About Huck: The hardest cookie to crack at under 200 and at 22 yrs. he is still learning the game; has developed a well educated jab (like Macca) but he is far more explosive in his combos than the Welshman.
I think Huck vs. Macca is the most entertaining fight that can be made at 200 pounds.
After Huck gets rid of Cunningham (sorry e_a) he should go for unification with Macca...

Good list,crosstrainer!
Povetkin and Solis have proven track records at the amateurs.Both fighters were superstars at the amateurs-outstandingly dominating forces.Povetkin even more than Solis.
To be fair I for my part wouldnt even call them prospects.
Chambers,Wizzerspoon,and Boytsov still have to go a long way to compete with the present top guns,but they all have potential.
Taras Bidenko,too,is one of those promising young prospects IMO.Since his devastating loss to Virchis(he was far ahead on points when he was knocked out by Virchis in the very last round of their encounter) he has been a bit gunshy,but so far he has won all his fights since that defeat.
He also made the water very hot for Valuev when he fought him in his 4th pro fight.Bidenko still claims that he should have declared the winner after 12 rounds with Valuev.Quite a handful of ring observers seem to agree with him.
Bidenko is scheduled to face Brasilian vet George Arias on the undercard of Felix STurm vs Randy Griffin.

What's sad is that while we mostly agree that this is a decent list, Povetkin and Solis are the only two with the potential to make some serious noise. Dimitrenko is like a Euro Calvin Brock, Chambers is like Chris Byrd without the great footwork, Arreola would have to get the absolute maximum out of his talent to be a true contender, and Witherspoon would need to take huge strides just to get to contender status (and even Solis needs to prove that he's not lazy and is willing to get in shape if he wants to have a serious shot).
Fortunately, it's still better than most of what's around now. In a few years, most of these guys should fit comfortably in that 5 - 20 range of B- level fighters that's so packed right now.

A bum? You're on crack, brother. I'd pick him to beat Witherspoon, Chambers, and Arreola. All by kayo.

Huck is super strong, and will most likely be a champ, but Cunningham is very crafty and underrated! That will be a very good fight if it comes off.
Alexeev is too small to compete as a heavy.He is a big puncher,and he for sure has the potential to be a dominating force at cruiser,but I very much doubt that his impact at heavy would be significant.
Huck showed a very convincing performance against Tokarev.A very strong and vicious puncher whose defence is a bit sloppy and whose emotions take over now and then during a fight.He still has to learn one or two things.
However,I would favour him over Cunningham who had two close fight with the relatively weak Pole Wlodarcyzk.
Huck plays in a different league.Cunningham is the underdog in their upcomming bout IMO.He has never faced in his entire pro career such a hard hitting and powerful fighter like Huck.

I like Huck too, but Cunningham is no slouch. Have you seen him fight? If he fights like he did against Sebastian Rothmaan, he beats Huck.
Also, Kelvin Davis and Guillermo Jones are every bit as strong as Huck, and Jones had far more experience when Cunningham edged him, albeit controversially.
Cunningham/Huck will be a very competitive fight. Cunningham is far better than Tokarev at this stage.
