Nobody really stands out, and Fury is only 33 - he has plenty of time to reign if he wants to. As for who can be a threat, I liked what I saw from the kid last weekend, Jared Anderson. He's young and shows promise. Best chance is Hrgovic, the man deserves and is dying for a shot at the big leagues. My dark horse is Murat Gassiev. That could be the fanboy in me though - but if he just tightens up a little more head movement and develops a real jab, he can pose any HW significant problems. He looked a bit out of shape last time, so it's definitely a tall order. Call it fanboyism.
Lastly, any of the recent Olympic medalists obviously have a good chance. As an example Richard Torrez, who earned Silver last year and is only 22.
Gassiev is in for a tough out next year ,I’m guessing he’s going to take a loss if he’s fighting who I was told today .
You can’t be elite with zero unifications and 1 title defence in 15 yrs. I guess Wlad and Vitali weren’t legitimate champions because Lennox retired. And he actually beat Wlad.
After Wlad, only one HW reigned supreme and that’s the guy with multiple unifications and title defences.
Regardless, don’t derail my thread.
Such delusional bullsh**.
Klitschko, 10 year reign, 18 defences, dethroned by Fury.
Wilder, 5 year reign, 10 defences, dethroned by Fury.
22 years old and he has all the speed, movement, and combinations that other prospects like Dubois never had.
Yeah he looks fluent and that gives him a big advantage over most of these big stiffs in the HW division. He obviously has a long way to go in terms of the level of his competition but I like the look of the kid too, definitely has some talent.
