Usyk and Fury are old and about to retire. Do you see potential in any young boxer to become a dominating power of the division within the next 5 years?
Is there a young, up-and-coming heavyweight or cruiserweight (who can move to heavyweight) that you’re keeping an eye on?
I've got my eye on Jalolov as the top HW prospect right now
I agree.

Well Jalalov needs to get a move on as he's nearly 30 and hasn't fought anyone and is faffing about going back to the Olympics.
His career progression has been shades of Filip Hrgovic.
Before anyone says "oh no he's not like Filip Hrgovic" remember this, neither was filip hrgovic until 2 weeks ago, he was the big, tall scary eastern euro amateur who had the entire division shook.
I'm more interested in prospects in their early 20s, people who might be around a long time not someone who's going to have one eye on retirement by the time he slowly crawls his way to his first title shot in his mid 30s.
Richard Torrez won’t go that far once he does step up his opponent selection imo
Unless he gets a massive tweak job
Jalalov would beat him imo and quite possibly by Ko as Torrez would be to much game for his own good
