Who will be the next top hw in 3-5 years?

Wlad Klitschko will still be on top in 5 years, at the tail end of his career. I don't figure him on losing any fight until retirement. I agree I think Wladimir will unify all the Belts and he'll be the Undisputed World Champion

I agree he is really a CW anyway and has fought nothing but a horrendous string of bums so for anyone to think he could be anything based on what evidence presented is laughable. Agreed, Deontay hasn't proved anything, the guy has been facing horrendous opposition, and by horrendous I mean guys that are not even tomato cans, hell I think that even a heavy bag could be more dangerous that the opponents that Deontay has faced.

I hope this division doesn't become completely irrelevant after the K bros retire but from the prospects listed here I think it might.

I won't believe in Wilder until he fights a live body. His resume is laughable right now.

Denis Boystov

Yeah, but if you take very talented fighters away it is going to be even worse, isn't it? Bad - good = very bad. For all people's complaining about the hw division, and I think its domination by two lighter-skinned brothers is the reason for much of it, I think the division had equally weak periods (particularly the first half of the 80s). In any event, I'd say the main contenders following the K's retirements will be David Price, Helenius, Arreola, possibly Wilder, possibly Richard Towers, and possibly Edmund Gerber. Chambers, Povetkin, Perez, Boystov, and Solis are all very good fighters, but would probably be better suited to cruiserweight because the hw division is being inundated with giants. Im not so sure its a white thing as I am Italian I just think there boaring fighters that will only fight in there area of the world witch I dont think is right but who am I and as for the first half of the 80s ok ill give you that but I cant remember watching a good HW fight in the last decade or so im sure you can come up with one or two but the HW are just irrelivent...

Anthony Joshua....FACT

What do you call it now this has to be the worse the HW division has ever been how much worse can it get?:boxing: Yeah, but if you take very talented fighters away it is going to be even worse, isn't it?

See...ive said before that when the brothers decide to hang everything up, the Heavyweight division will be very poor for talent but these are the following that i think will be very notable: Seth Mitchell Deontay Wilder (suspect chin imo) Robert Helenius ? Glazkov (cant remember his first name) Im rather hoping that Britain's Anthony Joshua will turn pro after the Olympics because i think he has something. Beats the current reigning Olympic Champion and loses via 1 point in the world amateur finals to the home town guy if i remember....he wasnt supposed to be in the team either. ...I can only think of those guys which is scary.....not alot of talent in the division. What do you call it now this has to be the worse the HW division has ever been how much worse can it get?:boxing:

Audley Harrison.
