      Maybe Deontay will be the next undisputed heavyweight champion, after Wladimir and Vitali retire.

        I was having an e-mailconvo with a promoter in California about Deontay. It went from Boytsov and how he feels he is a bug part of the future and morphed in Wilder. Deontay has tons of potential. He doesn't really know how to box and he fights ok right now. But the fact that he snagged a bronze with so little experience and is a pure athlete, he definitely has a bright future is moved right. I say it will take 5 years for Wilder to mature properly. Yes, that long, he needs the time to learn how to box properly. If he had Kenny Weldon as his trainer and say, Johnny Bos as his matchmaker, the kid would be a monster to deal with. Don't forget about Mike Hunter, he just missed the olympics and he has so serious talent. He'll mature around the same time Wilder will, and could make for a great rivalry down the road.

          Yeah Wilder is really young at the moment and has got plenty of time to develop into a good fighter, I think him and Hamer are probably the 2 best American heavyweight prospects. Boystov is probably my favourite eastern heavyweight at the moment but needs to get more head movement into his game.

            There are some good fights in there, you have to be into the Heavyweight scene though to think they are good fights. Another one you missed out that could be good is Martin Rogan Vs. Sam Sexton on May 15th. Rogan seems to be entertaining everyone recently with shock wins over Audley and Skelton.

              Yes, that's going to be a good one. I'll add it to the first post.

                Bit of a step down for Rogan after his last couple fights, but I'll definitely check it out. Never thought anyone could make a fight with Skelton even the tiniest bit entertaining, so I'm game to watch another fight of Martin's. That's today, any idea what time?

                    Should be a gooden, i'm guessing just a straight out brawl.
