I think Seth Mitchell is the greatest prospect out of these.
I like Seth's power but you can tell he is a football player first and boxer second by how he has to think before he throws his bombs. He isn't naturally fluid with his punching but if he can fix this he will be much lest predictable in the ring.
Boytsov has the most potential to make an impact as an exciting ko artist but he is too small for either Klitschko but he is young enough to wait and gain experience along the way. If he can add a little bit more speed to his power he could be great to watch. I like that they are taking him slow but still getting him a lot of fights. I believe he is only 25 now, Tunney?
I just watched the fight, I didn't check to see who won because I didn't want to ruin the outcome and I have never seen Huck fight before. That being said, I thought Huck clearly won the fight. He was a cruiserweight who came in and bullied Povetkin around the ring almost the entire fight. He landed the bigger shots by far and came close to putting Povetkin down a couple of times. At the end of the fight Povetkin collapsed on his stool and couldn't even stand anymore. I'm not saying that Povetkin didn't have some moments but he never hurt Huck and at worst it should have been a draw. Povetkin didn't win this fight and he looked like sh!t. He is going to get ko'd soon, it's just a matter of time.
It was hard to tell who hit who in that scuffle. I'm glad Haye cracked him instead of waiting for Chisora to do something first cause you know he would have just like he did to K2.
I hope Chris isn't planning on knocking Adamek out with one punch because its not going to happen. He better be ready for 12 rounds. May the best man win this one...
Chagaev doesn't have ko power and that is Walker's weakness. When was the last time Chagaev floored someone? I never thought much of Ruslan anyway so I'm not that surprised. Anyone have a link to this fight?
Just 3 weeks away from a new heavyweight champion being crowned, he will open up the division. A fresh start for boxing and it will put David Haye into place behind him.
Keep fu(king dreaming! There is no way this slug will beat Wladdy.
Actually Austin has been in shape in his last couple of fights. Problem is that he hasn't fought in a year. He was in great shape against Golota and beat him easily in one round. Like I said, he will outbox and win a decision against Solis. If I'm wrong, I'll give you that green K you're looking for...
Here is my Solis vs. Austin bets thread

Nah, I'll green ya extra when it lets me...
You guys forget that Ray Austin is a big heavyweight at 6'6" and his only loss in the last 4 years was to Wladdy! He has much more experience and I bet he wins by decision if he is in any kind of shape. Check out his record, not too bad for a bum!

Solis isn't beating sh!t and he is going to get out boxed by Austin which is sad. Keep dreaming on anyone beating the K2 until they are too old or they just retire.
It was pretty well known that Big George wanted nothing to do with Holmes, especially when they were older. Foreman would have been Jabbed to death in a one sided decision.
A lot of it probably has to do with the fight taking place in Germany. If they were fighting in the US I bet HBO would carry it. I wonder why K2 doesn't just go with Showtime then. Are they contracted to HBO exclusively or something?
Who gives a steeming crap what G. Leon thinks? He tried to play promoter and got b!tch slapped by Lou Dibella! Ike turned 37 in February and I doubt he will be out of jail anytime soon. He's been up for parole about 5 times now and obviously they don't think he is safe to let out if he's been denied that many times. If he would of never went to prison, he would have been great and a great challenge to anyone. I would love to have seen him fight Len or K2. It would have been classic...
Tua's cryptonite is tall, technical fighters or defensive masters. I would love to see him and Haye or Peter get it on. I bet he takes Peter out in 2 rounds...
Lets face it guys, thats what Wladdy needed to hear! Another Ibragimov! Thats what Stewart said earlier. The Wlad that came out in the 12th round would be unstoppable and very exciting. Hopefully he finally learned something about himself in that last round...
The guy fighting Arreola this friday is Sanders like. He is a southpaw ko artist, he is in shape but he does have a weaker chin. When he ko's the slippery nipple you'll know the name "Minnesota Ice" Joey Abell.
It's because that was the biggest payday and the biggest ass whooping they are ever going to get in pro boxing unless they want to try and fight Vitali like Peter did. He even went back for more against Wladdy. He's got a lot of money now but damn he took a beating.
They reached the pinnacle and they aren't getting any farther so why fight anymore...
