    The future of heavyweight boxing

    I was wondering who you guys think will be the next heavyweight champion. I think this group of boxers can defeat the Klitschkos within one year.http://www.8countnews.com/news/125/A...012-03-08.html

    David Price, Denis Boytsov, Dereck Chisora, Robert Helenius, Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell, Mike Perez, Malik Scott, Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin, Marco Huck, all has decent shots at being HW champions after the Klitschkos. I'm not sure any of them beat Wlad or Vitali right now though.

    The wild card in all those is Malik Scott. He has serious skill, is pretty slick, a nice quick jab, but he lacks power. That could be his downfall.

            Well it depends. Is the NFL going on strike anytime soon? Remember there will be no American Heavyweight Champ unless some how kids stop playing football... That's just some of the s h i t u might hear round these parts.

                  I feel like Povetkin, Helenius, Fury, and Mitchell are the most overrated right now. Povetkin and Helenius both last their fights with Huck and Chisora, and I just don't see the hype with Fury and Mitchell.

                  My hope at HW the next 5 years or so is with Mike Perez, Malik Scott, Deontay Wilder, and David Price. Hopefully they make the strides they need in their careers to be great fighters. My hope for after the next 5 years is Anthony Joshua, check him out. He looks pretty good.

                    I really like David Price. If he is groomed right he can be a force.

                    Former American football player Seth Mitchell has potential, but he also needs to be brought along properly so that he can develop the skills to go along with his athleticism.
