      I voted Anthony Joshua . That's more wishful thinking though. He looks good right now and he seems to have all the tools.....so I hope he continues to improve and that he will be successful when it's time for him to step up in class and really prove himself.

        Wilder looks very promising. Thing is that there are perhaps 2-3 credible prospects and it's not enough to get the HW division back to where it once was. The talent pool is so small compared to other divisions, it will always be 1-2 guys dominating a bunch of bums.

          Anthony Joshua looks like the next great heavy and will probably take over the division after wlad retires IMO

            I voted 'other'. There is a young American fighter, Trevor Bryan, who looked very promising. Interestingly, he had the 'American Dream' moniker before Lara adopted it. Anyway, Bryan had great speed, power, and coordination. The problem is I've only seen him in that one fight, so I can't form a solid conclusion.

            Andy Ruiz has a lot of talent. I just worry that he may be a little short for the division now, although he'd have to lose a ton of weight to make cruiserweight.

            I haven't given up on David Price yet, even if he does go down easily. Some people say his power is overrated, but I'd say it's underrated. If he employed a peek-a-boo guard in conjunction with using his legs when coming under fire he could achieve a lot in the division.

              I agree with a few of the choices. Fury, Wilder, Joshua and Parker I think are all the future of the Heavyweight Division.

                There's no way we will transition directly from the Klitschko decades directly into another dominant HW champion. It will be similar to that period where Vitali retired to heal up and Wlad had a string of bad fights and chaos ensured with guys like Maskaev, Peter and Rahman fighting for belts.

                  This was a nasty KO. I thought Trevor killed his opponent
