Heavyweight Saviors

[MikeHunt]

Since a lot of people seem to be completely dissatisfied with the state of today's heavyweight division, it only makes sense that we keep an eye out for the next dominant heavyweight. It's probably pretty obvious that the next dominant heavyweight is probably going to be pretty young and thus we are not going to talk about the current title holders and top contenders. Who knows, maybe some well known younger fighter or older fighter dominates the division for a while. Either way that's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is name fairly unknown fighters who you think can become dominant heavyweights with time.

I think that Rafael Butler may have what it takes to become a dominant heavyweight. He is 6'6'' and he usually weighs in at the mid to high 250s. He has a lot of power and he seemed to move pretty good for someone of that size as well. A few months ago I saw Rafael Butler fight against 5-1 Victor Ortiz. Butler dominated the short lived fight and TKO'd Ortiz 1:51 into the fight. Butler is 5-0 with 5 KOs. He is 20 years old, and he was the 2004 National Golden Gloves Champion. He has won his last 3 fights in 30, 57, 36 seconds. Who knows if he can continue to dominate like this, but if he can come anywhere even close, he should have a very promising future.

It doesn't matter.didn't you hear? Right after the offocially cancel hockey (who really cares anyway) they are going to cancel boxing too. Then Cartoons, The Cooking Chanel and Law and Order.

I'm not sure what gets canceled after that?

p/s Butler is a Ham and Egger

I know some people are talking about Samuel Peter. I mean that guy is a tank. But, i'm curious to see how he'll do against someone with some real skill.

Roman Greenberg. Angelo Dundee said he was faster than Ali.

Maybe, but he's 18-0 and his best oppenent is Julius Francis. Its time to step it up. Also the fact that a guy who is 4-6-2 KD'd him is not a good sign.

How so? It's kind of hard to a Gold Gloves Champion and be a "Ham and Egger."

[Mr. Violence]

If Sam Peter can get his act together he will probably be the one.

Greenburg has absolutely no chance of being a dominant force in the heavyweight division. I've seen a handful of his fights and he's nothing special.

Try to make a thread not about the Klitschkos and look what happens...what a bust.

Actually, I commend you for doing just that..and I'm mildly surprised by it too..good for you Neuraxis!

The heavyweight division needs someone to capture the imagination of the public, and that isn't Vitali Klitschko.
