      Maybe thats because he has had 5 professional fights? For a guy with 5 fights he is not going bad

        Thats why I voted for him....he is actually a young HW....a few of those guys are much more established already and shouldn't even be on the list IMO.

          So how can he be better than Povetkin, Chagaev, Peter and Chambers? The reality is, he hasn't been tested so I would be reluctant to say he is a "better" fighter than those I mentioned.

            Odlanier Solis might be the best prospect but out of that list Chagaev is obviously the best right now. Chagaev had a good amateur career too at SHW and beat Felix Savon, Solis was a HW (under 200 lbs), now he is WAY overweight.

            Chagaev has won decisions against Virchis, Ruiz and Valuev. He should be the number 2 Heavyweight right now.

              Yeah I mean say what you will about the Hw division, lol.

              I realize it can be perceived as shallow. But if there's any merit, I'd say Povetkin whipping Friday Ahunanya's ass, making short work of Bostice like he should have......and working Donald and Byrd is an ok start for a young prospect.

              For sure.

                Well its a matter of opinion, I think he is the better fighter out of those listed, you will find out in the future.

                  Naah. Donald was robbed against Valuev.

                  Also Povetkin beating Byrd, Donald, Ahunanya and Bostice is more impressive. Ruiz sucks and clinches too much.

                    I hope we get to see Povetkin vs Solis some day. Both were GREAT amateurs and potentially good/great pro's.

                    Naah. Donald was robbed against Valuev.

                    Also Povetkin beating Byrd, Donald, Ahunanya and Bostice is more impressive. Ruiz sucks and clinches too much.
                    I take that as a joke. Was that a joke? Because I sure hope it was.

                      He only won that fight on paper, Did you see the Boo's when the decision was announced? All I saw was Virchis connecting with heavy shots and in the later part of the fight Chagaev just fighting in survival mode.
