    David Price is the best of the young heavyweights

    Bar none.

    I'm American so of course I have high hopes for Seth Mitchell and Deontay Wilder, but right now Price looks like the next big thing.

    He can be a great one if he keeps improving and refining his skills.

    Wilder is getting good experience by sparring with Klitschko but his resume is crap so far compared to Price's.

        True about his age. I guess I should have said he is the best of the "up and coming" heavyweights.

        Not only does he hit hard as hell but also he has some decent technique to go along with the power.

          I am an American too and I thought Price was the best young heavyweight since I first saw him fight about two years ago. Unless he has a glass jaw that I don't know about, I think he is a future champ and a good one.

            Didn't know about this; excellent news. Wilder will get an idea of what he should strive for.

            I have no hopes for Mitchell outside of making for a few entertaining fights. Lookin forward to his bout with Banks.

              Deontay also sparred Audley Harrison to get him ready for David Price (not that it helped any. )

              Harrison said that he was fast and punched like a mule.

                I agree, from the "new" HWs I think he's the one that looks better so far. Still, he's a long way from beating Wlad, but IMO he takes Fury out.

                  We still need to see how his chin is, but not many will be able to test it.

                  I agree he looks the best of the bunch, Wilder we know has a glass jaw and hasn't fought a real fighter yet, Mitchell is scrappy and fun but note world class and fury needs a lot of work.
