    Who is the American heavyweight prospect: Deontay Wilder, Tor Hamer, or George Foreman III?

    (well, it's certainly not Travis Kauffman! )

    I think Wilder will prove to be the best, but it will be interesting to see how Foreman does when he steps up. He's about the same height as Wladimir Klitschko, who is just under 6'6".

        Yuri is an excellent boxer, but not really big enough for heavyweight.

        Steve Cunningham is definitely big enough though, and has the ability to probably have some success. And it would be interesting to see Chad Dawson muscle up and try heavyweight.

          Cunningham-Adamek II at HW would be sick. Regardless of weight, those guys need to rematch each other. The first fight was razor-thin.

            I think of the guys mentioned, Wilder is the best bet. Usually there are a few that were ok amateurs and didn't make the team that show up later under the radar. (like Tyson and Larry Holmes!)
            Foreman III's wins are insignificant at this point as he learns the game but unless he has his dad's power I wouldn't expect much. I certianly don't expect him to fight someone with a pulse for a long time.

              HBO's Ross Greenburg and Showtime's Ken Hershman turned the rematch down last year, so Adamek moved up to heavyweight and fought Golota instead for a decent payday.

              The decision by HBO and Showtime to not show Adamek-Cunningham II makes no sense to me at all, especially considering they put on some much less interesting fights.

              HBO turned down Dzinziruk-Williams last year, and a couple of days ago decided against Dzinziruk-Angulo. It seems Mr. Greenburg is prejudiced against European boxers.
