Alexander Dimitrenko, Ruslan Chagaev, Denis Boytsov

I heard last year that Don King went to Russia in order to lure a "young 18 year old heavyweight with fast,heavy hands that was reminiscent of a young Tyson". I dont think he was successful. BTW he is 6'1" 215 lbs. Perfect heavyweight fighting size.

Yeah that was Boytsov that king tried to lure, but he is not the guy they call "white tyson" that is reserved for Chagaev who is listed as being 27 years old.

I have only seen Chagaev.....& he looks rather ordinary.

Doesn't look big enough to compete with today's big boys....He doesn't have the speed & power to make up for his disadvantage in size.
He is left-handed....but he doesn't fight in a way that takes full advantage of it.

Well, Boytsov has one more year to become "Tyson Reborn". I think he has the tools to do it, too. Too bad he didn't sign up with DK, he would be in the spotlight by now.

He is 19 years old and has only fought 10 times. I think he needs to fight another 5 times against questionable opposition and then look to take the next step up against guys like Maskaev, Johnson, Gomez, Williamson.

I just watched a fight with "White Tyson" Chagaev. This guy is a heavier version of Vassily Jirov. These two guys are like twins the way they fight. I have never seen two fighters share the same exact style the way these guy's do.

Can someone please post a link to Boystov's fights? Does anyone have them on their computer? I would be very interested in seeing Boystov in action.

I am curious to hear about these guys from people who have actually watched them fight. These guys seem to be the future of the European heavyweight boxing scene. What are your opinions?

I've only seen Chagaev, but I think he's overrated. He's been a prospect for nine years. Even though he's still fairly young, Fraudley Harrison stepped his competition up more quickly and successfully than Chagaev has. That says to me his people know something no one else does.

Boytsov just won another fight by KO 2
