    HW boxing in general.

    Aside from Wlad, Vitali, and Haye, it's sad. Chisora is alright I guess.

    And we'll have to wait and see how good Wilder, Price, Pulev, Perez, Jennings, Joshua, and others actually turn out to be.

    Mitchell is way overrated right now, he could lose to Banks very easily, who's got far more skill than Mitchell does.

    Malik Scott has loads of boxing talent, but he's like 33 now and still hasn't stepped up. He really needs to.

      Seth Mitchell will get the biggest shots first.

      Deontay Wilder needs to seriously step up.

      Malik Scott has the most talent but he needs to step up too.

      Chris Arreola is fat.
      I do like Bryant Jennings. Not sure how far he can go, but he's earned the right to at least as much hype if not more than Mitchell or Wilder.

        I was hoping they'd make Jennings-Adamek for September, but Jennings is fighting some stay buys fight in September. Hopefully they can make that fight next.

          If Adamek defeats Walker, which he may not, he'll fight the winner of Pulev-Ustinov to decide the IBF mandatory.

          There's a big NBC card planned for December which will include Jennings against a top 50 heavyweight. Koval is just a stay-busy fight for him.

              So we may see Wladimir-Adamek next spring/summer?... my god, the humanity.

                  If he gets past Walker and the winner of Pulev/Ustinov, he'll deserve his IBF title shot and a final big payday.

                  All three are much bigger than Adamek.

                    Bo Jackson???............and I like Joe Hipp too! HA! Is the "Fridge" still alive?
                    Are "Ditka's" knees pretty bad? How about "Butkis" you know those guys wouldn't come in "boxing" hahahaha!!! Anyone remember "To Tall Jones" entry in the ring?.........that didn't go to well!!! Not!

                    Right now theres a kid in Chicago in his senior year in HS who's 6'2" 210lbs and growing, who would be able to learn quickly and have the physical and mental attributes needed to be a great fighter ...BUT... he could care less about boxing, why? Theres no boxing role models that offer a positive light to follow it always takes a Heaveyweight Champ to spark the sport for a generation or two, we have none. No offense to the Klitz Bros. but they have NO personality and aren't interested in being ambassadors of the sport. Personality is like power punching your born with it but you can be coached up abit if you give a Sh11!. Ray
