Solis or Chisora, who's the future?

I don't know who the future of the division is, but I know it ain't Solis. Odlanier is talented enough to stay on top for a few years, but he just doesn't have the discipline to remain champion for more than a couple of fights. It takes a lot of will and determination, among other things, to be king(s) of the hill for long. The Klitschkos are a model for excellence. I'm not a fan of theirs, but I have a lot of respect for them as gentlemen. Unlike most fighters, they'll continue to enjoy success long after their fighting days are over. The same qualities that made them champions for so long will assure them of that.

Bryant Jennings, Seth Mitchell, David Price, David Haye, Tyson Fury, Chisora, and the Nordic Nightmare should make for a decent tourny. i dont think Solis would get passed Arreola. Arreola can be a good test to these guys but he would get dropped by Mitchell, beat by Jennings, and the british guys are too big for him. im going with Mitchell. atleast he fights like a heavyweight should and ends the fight within 4.

Helenius and Boystov. Neither Solis or Chisora will even be top 8 heavyweights in 3-5 years Also why is Chisora on the list but not the younger and FAR more talented guy that already beat him, Tyson Fury not on the list

I'm British so I picked Price, lol. Seriously though, Price looks like the best potential new fighter in the Heavyweight division. He's got that right combination of size, athleticism, skill and composure that I think will take him a long way, provided he doesn't prove to have a horrible glass chin (he was KOed in the Olympics, but Cammarelle punches like a bull). Uses his height very well, boxes behind a good long jab, picks his shots and makes them count. Looks to be fairly humble and willing to learn as well, which will be his biggest asset. Mitchell's alright, but aside from power and a good offence he doesn't look massively impressive. Could be wrong of course but I think he gets outboxed somewhere down the line. Boytsov and Wilder are both can stackers, Wilder moreso than Boytsov. Hard to guage anything about them thus far. I strongly have my doubts about them. Solis is getting on in years for someone who's considered the future. And with his bum knee and sloppy attitude to the game I doubt he'll amount to much. Dimitrenko is f**ing garbage. Helenius has an impressive resume, even taking out the Chisora "win", but he's too slow and over reliant on his late rounds power to ever be a consistent champion. He might win a belt here or there based on his punching power, but he won't keep it. Dude fights like a giant combination of Arthur Abraham and Kelly Pavlik. He's already been unofficially exposed and will be so again. Chisora's alright, and probably a tough fight for anyone, but there'll always be certain fighters that'll have his number IMO. Seems to have issue with discipline, in all senses of the word, and doesn't really have any one standout feature that would keep him on top. If Chambers ever gets back in the sport and takes his career seriously he'll nick a belt and notch up a few defenes.

Im surprised there are no votes for Boystov, he's only 26 and a pit bull.

This, but it's no use so I would not try if I were you. You don't try because the simple truth is you can't. I shred everything you post because you don't know squat. Its a fact Chisora came in well overweight against Fury and gassed out. An in shape Chisora presents a lot more problems, even the likes of you has to admit that. That is going to be the problem when the Klits are gone...consistency. There is no reason for any fan to feel secure that they'll get talent, the discipline to stay in top shape, and exciting fights more time than not when the Klits are gone. At least now we're assured 2 out of the 3. Yay!!! :lol1:

Why did you exclude Tyson Fury from the poll? He did, and he went to the body well if I remember correctly. Honestly, I just forgot him when I put my list up as I did Deontay Wilder and several others who could and should be listed for the purpose of the thread. My last post was meant as a joke.

price or perez............

I would say the future of the heavyweight division is guys like David Price, Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell, Mike Perez, Bryant Jennings, and ANTHONY JOSHUA. There's also guys like Denis Boytsov, Kubrat Pulev, and Malik Scott as well.

David Price, by far the best of a bad bunch

If Mike Perez would step up competition then I would say he's got a shot.

I wonder if any other olympic gold medalists has ever been knocked out in the first rd. I can't think of a single one. I can think of one gold medalist that was KO'd COLD in the second round ;)

Why did you exclude Tyson Fury from the poll? I got nothing against Fury, but he punched himself in the face. That alone got him excluded from the list. :dunno:

It's hard to say who the future is. I prefer Solis over Chisora. I hope Mitchell ends up being the real deal. We'll see. Time will tell.

Other than Mitchell and Price, the HW future is looking....FAT.

Chisora and Solis aren't comparable. Price looks like the best from these shores. Im hoping Price develops, he's exciting and hard punching. Hopefully he keeps improving.

Neither are particularly good. Arreola would beat both. I like Arreola, but what are you basing this on? And is Chris than the future of the division?

Yea and part of the reason he was so terrible against Austin was cause he weighed 260lbs. He looked much better against Vitali 15 pounds below that. And even then he probably could lose another 20. Well that seems to be the thing....we've seen flashes of brilliance, and his potential is undeniable, we're just waiting on discipline and commitment. If all these things were to come together we may have a special fighter.

Good post. I agree Solis would have to work on his stamina, but I still view him as the more versatile and talented fighter. We also need to see how Helenius comes back from his shoulder surgery. Hopefully he'll be the same, only more determined than before to prove himself. Yea and part of the reason he was so terrible against Austin was cause he weighed 260lbs.

Solis doesn't have the stamina to give Helenius a "boxing lesson." He's an extremely slow starter and fights only in spurts. Save for his last fight (he looked like crap), Helenius throws a lot more punches and has a more aggressive style and better stamina than Solis. Against Ray Austin (if my memory serves me), Solis didn't inflict too damage and out boxed him at times but was inactive for long stretches in the that. Ray Austin being the fighter he is, was not able to capitalize on that. I think Helenius would press the fight, land his big shots (and take Solis') and wear his opponent down to eventually get the KO or points victory.. Good post.
