Future HW stars, 27 and under

[DonPrestige]

Does anybody know of any really good HW prospects, obviously we know how little there is at the moment but is the future looking bright.

Being in the UK I'm aware that David Haye could be an interesting development especially if he gets past the test of Mormeck at cruiserweight as he plans to move up to HW (im not too sure if he can carry the power upto HW but time will tell).

Who else is there to keep a look out for at age 27 or under?

[Andrey]

Alexander Povetkin- if his future ain't bright then neighter is the sun!!

Dennis Boytsov- 20 years old. ABSOLUTE BADASS.

Maybe too early to tell but Odlanier Solis Fonte could go far. His amateur accomplishments include an olympic gold medal and two gold medals in the world championships.
He has only fought two proffessional fights but those were against very competative opponents, he won them both by KO in the first round.
He´s fighting today again against Aldo Collinader.

Tyson Fury in the UK. 3 years time he will be the ''next big thing''

I can't find his record on boxrec, do have a link to his record?

I think Oleg Platov might become a solid top ten fighter ....

And although many people undermine Dimitrenko i think he still has the potential to develop into a legit top ten fighter. Think he needs to change trainer though.

Odlanier Solis is not very fast but check out his punching power.

My only concern with Solis is he looks a little soft in the mid section.

Totaly agree now about povetkin after last weekend i think we may well have a winner here.
But whats ups with boytsov?,hes only had 1 fight this year,is he injured,or is his heart not in it i wonder,i always felt he was to small as well,but boxrec says he is 6ft 1 and 215 ibs which is bigger then i thought to be honest,hes also pretty fast with a big punch,i do hope he comes back,and is just training hard to iron out a few faults we all know he has,he could become something id say,if he goes full tilt for it.

I still have the hope that Taras Bidenko will be able to overcome his reluctance to mix it up with his bigger opponents after his devastating ko loss to Virchis.Since that brutal ko at the hands of heavy handed Virchis Bidenko hasnt been the same.He is gun-shy,and quite cautious inside a box ring.However,he keeps winning,and he for sure is one of the biggest young heavy weight talents out there.
He doesnt have much pop in his fists,but he can give any opponent hell as Valuev was able to experience when he faced Bidenko.At that time Bidenko only had 4 pro fights,Valuev had more than 30 pro fights.Nevertheless a lot of ring observers had Bidenko ahead on points after 12 very close rounds.
Bidenko has the tools and the talent to go very far,but all depends on his abilty to overcome that brutal ko loss to Virchis.

[Shpion]

Why is he is taking a 12-0 guy in his third fight!

Because he is the real deal not like JD Chapmans and Ariola's of the world.

[Shpion]

And let's not forget about Aleksandr Alekseev who is probably the best crusier prospect but can later move to HW.

I dont think so,shpion! Alexeev is far too small to compete with true heavies.
Once I was standing next to him during one of his promoter's fight cards in Germany and I couldnt fail to notice how big I was in comparison with him.
No way that he should move up to the big boys' league!

He will soon be the dominating force at cruiser weight IMO.
Rudolf Kraj is a very promising prospect ,too.
Huck,Kraj,Alexeev-these three names will very soon be the most mentioned ones in connection with the cruiser weight division.

Well, I have not seen in him in person but if I am not mistaken he is 6'2 and can probably feel comfortable at around 220. He's got mad skills and good power, so if people are talking about Haye's potential within the HW, I don't see why Alexeev would be left out.

[brooklyn1550]

I don't think you could consider him a prospect, but Samuel Peter is 26

Chris Arreola is 26 as well

Bowie Tupou is 24
Ryo Hidaka is 26

[Shpion]

Samuel Peter is 26

I think in a year or two Povetkin and Solis outbox his ears off.

[tragicliston]

I keep hearing about an amateur named Isiah Thomas from Detroit but I can't find too much info about him. From what I've read, he may be too small to be a proper heavyweight.

Emanuel Steward is really high on Thomas - he said he throws punches like a heavyweight Ray Robinson

[Stinky gloves]

I would say Holyfield but he just passed 27.

"Mighty" Mike Marrone.

Bring on Povetkin, Klitschko, and Peter, baby!

[Brickhaus]

How about Michael Hunter? He's the US amateur I've heard the most good things about....

Obviously, Povetkin and Solis are light years ahead of everyone else in this one though.
