    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.
    I don't see it in Seth Mitchell. I just don't get the hype. Wilder, if he ever steps up, will have a huge advantage with his height and size alone. On top of that, he seems more like a boxer than Seth Mitchell does. I really hope Malik Scott stays active and gets his name out there. As far as HW's not named Klitschko, he might have the most raw skill in the ring.

    Price, Perez, Wilder, and Scott, those are my HW hopes for the next 5 years. Also, check out Anthony Joshua, the British olympian. He looks legit.

    I really hope and American breaks out at HW eventually again. We haven't had a really good and legit HW since Michael Moorer, Evander Holyfield, and Rid**** Bowe.

    Eddie Chambers, Chirs Arreola, Shannon Briggs, Hasim Rahman, Lamon Brewster, John Ruiz, get the f*k outta here. I guess Chris Byrd wasn't bad.

      He impressed me by knocking out Timur Ibragimov, which no one has ever done.

      Seth has good speed and power for a heavyweight, and moves around well. The only thing he needs now is just to gradually improve his boxing skills. As far as I'm concerned they shouldn't rush him either....take it slow and steady and he can really blossom in my opinion.

          David Price, Denis Boytsov, Dereck Chisora, Robert Helenius, Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell, Mike Perez, Malik Scott, Tyson Fury(though I think he's ****), 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.

          yup,. thats the line up and yup, I don't see any of them beating wlad right now ... but time is ticking for Vitali ... he'll either (A) retire in a year or two, (B) fight complete bums, or (C) lose

            Price, Boystov, Mitchell, Perez all look ok but have not been tested. Chisora is pretty good as well.

            America have got Michael Hunter who won the USA national trials at heavyweight last week he is Wlad's main sparring parterner and is supposed to be a top prospect but you dont really know how these guys will do in the pro's, sparring constantly with the Klitschcko brothers must be good prep though.

                Anthony Joshua looks legit but I wonder how his chin holds up.

                  No one does. Not anyone with a brain anyway. I can't wait till he's knocked out to get the hype job out the picture. Lets face it with all his reported mental health issues, the minute he suffers a heavy KO he'll be tucked away in his caravan for good. He's already got a loss on his record as far as I'm concerned.

                    Yeh thats really all you can say at this stage. He has looked good but surely a good 3-4 years away yet. (I guess if the Klits retire, his time may come sooner)

                      Didn't look too good when Nistor stopped him and everytime Medzhidov landed clean he was stunned or wobbled. He has some potential though.
