      I have to admit that the more i watch of chagaev the less impressed i am he has won several close fights and should have lost to virchis, I like mollo he is exciting but not a future great, chambers has great defence.

        Chagaev is the best boxer on that list and in the division, apart from Wlad.

        Povetkin and Peter and not too far behind.

        Solis might make a little noise, and Boytsov has a chance of being very good for his size.

          Chambers might be pretty good. He's too small for Wlad, other than that he can compete. If you count Chagaev it's him.

            Valuev robbed almost every top fighter he ever faced but Chagaev beat him decisive enough so that the judges HAD to give it to him.

            Ruiz was a good win because he is a very hard man to beat. Chagaev did enough to get the win against a two time world champion. Ruiz also looked better than he has in years.

            I haven't seen the Virchis fight but I doubt Virchis would get robbed in Germany. They should have a rematch then.

            Remember Chagaev has only had 23 fights and he is already a world champion. He will keep improving (or get exposed as a bum lol).

            Povetkin's best win is against Byrd but I doubt Byrd would be able to beat Valuev, Virchis or even Ruiz at this point of his career. Donald is very old, he can still bring it sometimes but he only brought his chin against Povetkin.
            Ahunanya and Bostice do not compare.

            Povetkin is very impressive and has only had 14 fights. Now he needs to get rid of Chambers and get the title shot.

              While I do think Chagaev has had the best pro performances on the list, it's very arguable for many fighters.

              HW is a very deep, young division; let's hope the promotors keep the senior citizens out of the way and do the business.

                Solis proved he is NOT the real deal in his last fight, he didn't even have power to stop the weak chinned tomato can (14-8) Julius Long. Solis lacks the punching power and ability to be the future champ. Tye ****ing Fields KO'd that same guy Julius Long in 3 rounds.

                  Solis should be a cruiserweight or fight at 210-220 lbs as a HW. Why is he 250 lbs??? He used to fight at 200 when he was an amateur.

                    I think Alexander Povetkin is the best young heavyweight. Although some will disagree, I think he's better than Chagaev, who's I rate as the second best. I see him as more of a complete fighter than Chagaev - better feints, throws better combinations, for example. Ruslan is tough as they come, but a less sophisticated fighter than Sasha.

                    Povetkin's in for a difficult fight against Chambers, who I rate as the third best young heavyweight.

                      Samuel Peter could'nt KO Hawkins, Shufford or Puvdar, Wladimir Klitschko could'nt KO Everett Martin or Williamson yet Joe Mesi knocked him out in 1 round.

                      You can do that for literally every single fighter, and you do not need "Power" to be a good skilled boxer.
