...and could have a piece of any of the following heavyweight prospects, which would it be and why?

Also, who would be your second and third choices?

I went for Haye.

I'm 50/50 on whether he can really crack it - chin chin chin.

But if he does he's going to go wide, i'm going to be a millionaire.

Solis and no doubt in my mind his amateur career is incredible wins over Ibragimov and Haye 2-1 over Felix Savon. 3 time World Champ,Olympic Gold Medalist,nearly 250 fights. Has spent a whole 80 secounds in the ring during his 2 pro bouts agianst a combined record of 42-9 thats not to shabby.

If I were a manger, I'd be looking for babies. If I was a manager, I'd pick...


David Haye. Isn't he supposed to be shagging Kylie Minogue? Always fancied her, so I'd go Haye just to try and get in 'the back door' (in both ways... ;) )

If I was a manger...it would be just my luck, that some kid, whose folks were following a star, would pick me to give birth in!

he claims he's never even met her and doesnt know how the rumor started.

And Povetkin is basically on the verge of contender by the end of this year if all goes according to plan. He's already got a better record than some top 10 guys.

Solis, I'd get this guy the best trainer for his style and the best nutritionist. He's obviously very powerful and the boxing pedigree just adds to it.

Povetkin's lack of defence may be a liability.

Where can I learn more about this Solis? He intrigues me.

Right now Povetkin.
In a year possibly Solis but i have my doubts for 1 single reason.
He is a fat fuck.:roll:
Did you see how he looked for his pro debut?
I know he was travelling alot from SA to US to Europe but dam you can't go that out of shape banking on starting a pro career.
what is wrong with the guy?

Hopefully its not a sign of a serious conditioning issue.

Other then that Sultan has said Solis is a very strong guy BUT he hasn't been the same for a long while.

MAYBE the pro style will allow him to adapt better.

Other then that

Dimitrenko has an issue where his promoter will fuckin feed bums to him for years, which is good for promotion but not as much development.
I was wondering about this.

I am incredibly intruiged by Dimintrenko because he's only 24 yers old and already has 25 fights- these guys don't even turn pro these days unitl they are 26 or so.

But he's got to step it up. How much can you learn when your best opponent to date is Vaugn Bean?

Bugger.

I'd still pick Haye.

Go for cruiser, then make the step up to Heavy.

Povetkin.

He and a french guy were sparring with Wlad at the training camp for the Byrd fight. I heard from the french guy trainer that Povetkin has no skills in the ring and, obviously, that his fighter (the french, you take it) was giving trouble to Wlad during the sparring session.

The story ended some weeks ago when the french fighter got KTFO in his very first pro test fight against an experienced Polish fighter.

Now it is Povetkin's turn to fight a ""true"" opposition ...

I would rank them

1) Povetkin
2) Solis
3) Dimitrenko
4) Haye

Povetkin is the goods skills wise, a little on the small size but has the potential to be an exciting heavyweight champ.

Solis while impressive is friggin unproven. He has exactly two rounds of pro experience! In time he could develop into the top prospect, but until we see him in harder fights he is number two.

Dimitrenko has great size, and seems solid all around. He has not developed the power you would think he would have for his size. Still if he is managed correctly he could win a belt.

Haye is still too small, and has been koed at lower weight classes. Something that other fighters who made the jump successfully to heavyweight from lighter weight classes didn't have happen.

Haye seems to be making the most money out of these guys and already has a title shot lined up, so I would probably have to go with him.

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

If Povetkin can stay injury free I'd take him.
If Solis would get into better shape I'd take him.
