Opinions on Artur Szpilka? He seem like the unstable personality heavyweight boxing needs, but how about his skills?

He's aggressive and fun to watch in the ring, and because of his Chisora-like behavior, outside the ring he gets peoples' attention.

He's going to be tested on Feb 23. Zimnoch isn't a world-beater but he has solid fundamentals and a good amateur background.

From what I've been able to ascertain Fury's next opponent will be Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Steve Cunningham, and Manuel Charr.

Or Tony Grano.

Oh god, I hope Fury doesn't go for Grano. He's been coming along well; i'd like to see him step-up again. Perhaps fight Dimitrenko/Helenius?

Chagaev is done. He'll be a solid gatekeeper, mind.

Hardly surprising.

Perhaps Boytsov will actually step-up now? He's been in-and-around the Top 5-10 for a good while now, without fighting any contenders...
