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.
    How old is he.. He looks old for a prospect

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

      Yes, this is the only fight of his I've seen. A great KO though.

      I think he's 25 or 26.

          Anthony Joshua and it's not even a competition. Wlad will be long gone by the time Joshua becomes a legit contender and he'll have a bunch of eastern European style boxers do beat on, Wilder will probably have been stopped by then, Fury might still be relevant but I don't see anyone else. The US has 0 heavyweight prospects. I don't see anyone from Ukraine/Russia and other former soviet states.

          Hughie Fury possibly but he has a very long way to go.

            I agree that he seems to have the most potential of the group

                Hughie Fury. He's still learning his trade in the pro game, but he has everything. He's a special talent. You haven't even seen 20% of what he can do yet.

                  No need for this thread. Wlad dominates for another 5 years.

                    I like BY Jennings, Anthony Joshua looks good but it's really early, and I have one foot on the Bomb Squad bandwagon.

                      In terms of skills and overall ability, Hughie Fury has impressed me most. He's only 19 so he's only going to get better.

                      But Wilder has the power.

                      Joshua has more skills and similar power to Wilder, so I'd put him ahead of him. Also, Isn't Wilder like 30 years old or something?
