David Price looks like he could end up being the real deal, but I've heard he may have chin issues??? Not sure if that's true or not.

Bryant Jennings is the best American HW. I'd love to see him fight someone like Chagaev, Glazkov, Cunningham next. I just fear he may not have quite enough pop to keep the really big guys off of him at HW. Same problem Cunningham will run into against bigger HW's.

Glazkov looks good too. Would love a Jennings-Glazkov up and comer prospect fight.

I was looking forward to seeing Mike Perez finally step up against Chagaev, but he was injured.

But I'd go with Price, Glazkov, and Jennings.

Anyone heard anything about this Towers guy from the UK??? He's supposedly like 6'9'' or some s**t.

I voted Glazkov, he impressed me the most. I feel he fought slightly better opposition than most of the others and feel albeit he doesn't have some of physical attributes others may possess, he is more complete and showed more variety in his work.

He looks a solid all-round fighter to me my only nag is I feel he may not quite have the size needed to compete with some of the bigger boys but with that said he has fought a lot of huge guys in the AMs with good success.

Look forward to seeing more of Mr Glazkov in the near future.

I think Fury has shown big improvement. He is looking good.

Chin issues or not Price, if he hits any heavyweight the right way, they are gonna go over.

He's as big but even less skilled than Tye Fields.

He needed a home referee help him win against a clubfighter that Helenius KOed easily.

Francesco Pianeta, although he isn't anything special either, will beat him when they fight for the European Union title (a secondary European title).

Has to be Pulev, he fought and beat in impressive two top ranked contenders in 2012. Jennnings was also pretty impressive as he rose from relative obscurity to showcase fighter on network tv.
