Who’s going to be the next superstar heavyweight boxer?

[Dariusz]

Nobody. The closest would be Dubois, but his power is not going together with ring intelligence.

[LA_2_Vegas]

I don't see anyone right now. Fury was the last guy I was sure of

I guess I'll go with Dubois too because he "looks the part" but that is dumb ass logic that means nothing in the ring - and tomorrow might provide the perfect example that looking the part could be a detriment against certain styles, esp later in the fight.

He's got power, I'm not seeing the elite speed to go with that power so IDK how far that will take him - tomorrow is a good test for that!

From what I've seen, I think Hrgovic has the best style to proceed up the ranks, but probably not a superstar

[JakeTheBoxer]

Fury is the face of boxing and he will remain the biggest heavyweight star.

LMAOOO. Biggest heavyweight star yet Eddie Hearn’s book is outselling his book by more than 5 to 1, lol.

He’s not even the biggest HW star in Manchester where he’s from, lol.

Fury is a star not a superstar. There’s only one HW superstar and it’s AJ.

[techliam]

If the AJ/Joshua fight does happen in 2021, and Fury wins; I think he'll implode again and retire before a rematch.

If that does happen, AJ will obviously get a shot at undisputed with the next WBC interim champion which will likely be Dillian Whyte so I don't see Matchroom letting go of the alphabet titles anytime soon so I think it will be a Matchroom product; my bet is Hrgovic.

If Fury beats Joshua, and Fury retires, that means all the titles become vacant

How does Joshua get a shot at undisputed ?

Good point. But let’s be honest, Joshua will be #1 HW anyway so the likelihood of him getting his hands back on them is near certain.

But Joshua is going to knock Fury out, anyway.

[tophat1]

It's hard to say . There's lots of dangerous guys coming up through the ranks that may cause trouble to the top fighters but they are all former decorated amateur stars in their 30s.

So the big fights in the next few years for top heavyweight honours could be all ex Olympians battling it out rather a star voming through.

[The Big Dunn]

The HW division is the premier division and the duo currently ruling the division have 3 yrs max before they both retire.

So who do you believe would carry the division when they are gone?

I’m leaning towards Dubois but that boy is Bruno 2.0 right now unless they can give him more time to develop. He’s 22 and there’s no point rushing him. And even if he loses to Joyce (which is what I’m leaning towards) - no one should write him off. But if he wins in style - he shouldn’t be rushed.

Yoka is pretty interesting but the guy is the Amir Khan of the division. I saw him get knocked out cold multiple times in the amateurs. Joyce also beat him in the amateurs but was robbed. So I’m still iffy about him. But perhaps PEDs can save him once he starts getting hit.

Hrgovic hasn’t shown me anything spectacular apart from knocking off cream puffs. And he was soundly beaten by Joyce in the World Series of boxing. So I just don’t see him beating anyone at the top.

The other decent prospects from Russia and Eastern Europe don’t speak English. And Glassiev is too crude to beat anyone with a pulse - he’s like the caveman version of Beterbiev.

Let me see yer list!

The American that eventually destroys these European champs will be the next superstar in the division.

Otherwise the champ will be Wlad 2.0 and will just fight mostly euro stiffs in Europe.

LMAOO. Since there's no American on the horizon - you might as well adopt Dubois and make him a naturalised American. All Americans are immigrants and he'll fit in well.

We can afford to give you Dubois since Wardley has shown more promise. And Adeleye looks the part and he's already showing flashes of things Dubois has never done.
