What Heavyweight

Lewis beat him.

Sam Peter barely makes it into the "interesting prospect" category. He's slow, easy to hit, his work rate is low, and he's FAT...and he's only in his mid-twenties. If he doesn't spend some serious time on conditioning, he'll be another Butterbean in 10 years, if he's lucky. However, if he does get his ass to work, loses weight and works on his conditioning and defensive skills, he could be a major force in the division in the future.

I would like to see Tua get into shape also. I think a well conditioned Tua could rule the division.

Vladdy seems to be gaining popularity. However, I think the next big heavyweight is going to be a surprise. Someone that just comes out of no where and captures the public eye.

I agree. The next heavyweight savior is probably either not on the horizon or will come out of nowhere. Who is really that excited about Sam Peter? And is there anyone else to get excited about?

I have a feeling it will be a long time before we ever see a great heavyweight fighter, if we EVER see one, again.

The current crop is mediocre, & none of them are exciting enough
to capture the public's imagination.

Wlad, Vitali, Golota, Byrd, and yes, Tyson, still make the sport worth watching, in my opinion.

[Neuraxis]

Most likely Vitali and maybe Sam Peter a little later in the future.

Sam Peter is a bit of a reach.

James Toney

James Toney might ahve been abl;e to if he was young, but because the entire division is AGING he wanted to know who might be able to take it over by storm and get rid of what are pretty much all middleaged men. Lets face it, mst of the heavyweight division is over 30 and prior to now that means that they probably would ahve retired already.

Valddy may be popular but I do not think that he will ever be able to recapture his confidence and develope the mental toughness his borther has.

This is a old division with not alot of fresh talent. James Toney and Daivd Tua may cause and uproar in my opinion but those two guys are already prime fighters. I guess things kinda look bleak. I'm not impressed with Samual Peter myself to be honest and i don't like Sinan Samil Sam or whatever his name is at all.

I think Vitali is the only one right now who can carry that. No one else even comes close. Sam Peters and Toney maybe, but, they would get owned by VK.
