Which young heavyweight has the most potential?

[Daļa]

Helenius. He have already 2 formers HW champ in his resume, maybe 3 soon.
The others boys haven't fought good opponents.

Robert Helenius. His movement the past year has been kind of unbelievable. He fought a guy that was 18-3, not an awful record, in only his 8th fight. His favorite fighter is Lennox Lewis and he could be just as dominant. Last year he took out Lamont Brewster and this year he's KO'd Sam Peter. He's also fighting another former champ in Liakhovich next month.

His contemporaries are still fighting no ones or just barely past their debut fight,

However, according to Brian Hughes, Helenius was brought to spar with Tyson Fury in 2010 and Fury boxed his head off. That really worries me because until he hooked up with Steward, Tyson fought like a god damn cave man.

I hope it's not true:

I'm going to stick my neck out here and go with David Price, young, in shape, big, strong, good skills and power.

Helenius is neck and neck with him, but i just think the extra size of Price pushes him ahead a little.

[Jim Jeffries]

I was going to say Kubrat Pulev, but I guess he just turned 30. Probably between Helenius and Price, with Helenius having faced the better opposition. Be interesting to see who wins between Chisora and Fury, I'm still favoring the Zimbabwean at this point. And he's a bit small, but I expect some good fights from Boytsov, if his hands heal and he ever steps up the competition.

Helenius already K.O'd 2 former HW champs, he is serious about his boxing career. Big guy, nice jab, quick hands, BIG power. He has all the makings of a future champion.

thx freedom i like those kind of threads!
Helenius has made a lot of noise but i always have in my mind that he has an trainer that cant bring him to the next level! watch the fighters ulli wegner trains they all got solid fundamentals with high guard but its schoking how they all fight almost the samy way! frenkel abraham huck murat and you see it also in helenius but i believe that he is talented enough to be better than that!
i see him now like wlad in 2003 when he lost to sanders! helenius needs a trainer like steward!
david price is someone to look out for in the future! he also looks good!
edmund gerber might suprise some people! hes a litte secret i think

Just parroting what most have already said, but on that list Helenius is probably the most promising.

I think Wilder has the potential to be in some really fun fights, but likely not to be a champ. He seems to be progressing a bit, but I doubt his ceiling is very high in terms of how far he can go.

I thought this thread was about POTENTIAL....

Not "which fighter is the best right now"

Wilder has as much or more potential than any of them, though Helenius would certainly kick his ass at this point.

Tyson Fury is a joke, Seth Mitchell would go right through him like he was swiss cheese.

And in reply to Choppers earlier post, I've seen enough of Mariusz Wach to know that he isn't going anywhere. He's no better than Fury.

[Rocky Rode]

Wilder has huge potential, but he's also a huge question mark. GB has been moving him extremely slow and he has a lot to work on if he ever plans to make it to the top. He seems to have good power in his right hand. But he still has to develop a jab and his chin at this point is questionable.

Seth Mitchell has the tools to be a good pressure heavyweight. He's a on the shortside for a HW, but he weighs like 245 and won't be pushed around. I think he has the potential to give Wlad some problems.

Tyson Fury has never really impressed me, to be honest. But he has one good thing going for him. His age. Dude is extremely young for a HW prospect.

Helenius seems like the safest bet, IMO. Has the power, good handspeed, and a jab. His fight with Peter was pretty close before the KO, but I'm guessing that was to be expected since he's still relatively inexperienced.

I haven't really seen anyone else on that list fight. I've heard Mike Perez and David Price are pretty good prospect though. Maybe I'll youtube some of their fights in a little bit.

Yes, Helenius has been the only one who has stepped up so far.
