Which young heavyweight has the most potential?

I will tell you more about Tyson Fury after the Chisora fight, LOL. I'm thinking good things are in store, but this one will tell the tale.

Tyson Fury is a hype job, Chisora should beat him without any problems and i think Chisora is European class at best,

Fury went life and death John Mcdermott he's never going to be world class!

Fury is only 23 yrs old. He's still got loads of time to learn.

The size issue

If Boytsov had a bit more pop, and speed, his size wouldn't have to be an issue. There's no reason a 6'1ish, 210-225 guy can't be the man in this era. It just has to be the right one. This has been an era somewhat lacking in total packages (and the talent, while not among the better of the few good Heavyweights eras, gets disparaged even more than it should because there are too many terrible fights. If there were better fights among non-Klit foes, there would be less *****ing). Some have speed but no pop (Chambers, Byrd); quick hands and decent pop but heavy feet (Chagaev, especially after injury); lack of professionalism via conditioning (long list).

Size is one of the most overrated keys to success at Heavyweight. Wlad's run is based on all of the things he does well to compliment his size. There have been a few other big men in this era who can be seen as genuinely athletic (McCline, Dimitrenko, Grant) and they couldn't beat the same smaller guys Wlad and Vitali (though he hasn't faced quite the same scope of foes as baby bro) have. I've always thought someone like Dempsey, even given his size, would be a tougher assignment for a Lewis or Klitschko than most of the guys closer to his size. There's just no one out there willing to play absolute killer who combines speed, pop, and pressure. Sometimes, divisions go without one of those for awhile. If a guy Boytsov size comes along who is a better fighter than one of the bros, he'll win.

Any interest in Mariusz Wach? Big, strong Polish dude. I saw clip of a nice KO by him, but haven't seen enough to make a judgement.

He can't learn what he's missing.

What you think about Иванов Никита? Checkout some of his amateur fights, he should be representing Russia in the next olympics.

????

That's an odd statement -- we all learn things we are missing, that's the point of learning.

You just don't like the guy, you're not being objective. He has potential and it's what he does with it that matters.

If his name was John Smith instead of Tyson fury he would be unknown,
like i said life and death with Mcdermott who twice lost to a way past it Danny Williams means you careers not going anywhere, he will be exposed badly against Chisora and that will be the last we hear of Tyson fury!

Helenius he impressed me a lot against Peter.
