NEW UK HEAVYWEIGHT SCENE

[Counter-puncher]

I'd like it to be Larry who comes out on top of that pile but he's got some learning to do, as he admits.

[alexpaterson]

In Furys 1st 5 fights hes fought average fighters and looked fairly average i think Price fought an average fighter and looked good for his 1st fight so i think Price is the biggest prospect

[Tommy Gunn13]

Dallas could be the one(ive not seen himself as a pro tho)
Slipping under the radar.....

Exciting times ahead in the top division domesticly...

[Tommy Gunn13]

But at this moment il go wiv Pricey......

[Coco]

I can't see any of them getting much past the domestic mix, but at that level we have a good collection of fighters which hopefully will all fight each other
You can probably add Burton, Sexton, Perkins and Belshaw as well, and Williams and Rogan will probably still be about too, Also Audley does not look like going away.
There is a lot of decent fighters at domestic level who have no reason not to fight each other

[mossy141]

mccrorys cuban perez is looking very good!

[Asterix]

Out of the poll options, David Price. I'd most love to see Larry "War Machine" Olubamiwo become really successful.

I'm surprised Tyson Fury has so many votes. I think he's over hyped at the moment.

[brian13]

Tyson Fury got my vote because he would beat most of the HW's in the UK if he fought them tomorrow.

[states]

I'm interested to see Price's next few fights. Obviously, he's got some habits from the amateurs to grow out of, but at the same time, he was fighting at a very high level in the vest, much better opposition than the other lads mentioned fought. Also, the lad looks like he can really crack, far more than, say, Fury.

It's a good crop of big men though. They may not make it to the top level (in fact, I'd be surprised if they did), but there's surely some entertaining scraps to come in the next few years.

i read something about Dallas a while back when he turned pro but he seems to as you say slipped under the Radar. Who is his promoter?

Maloney i think....not 100pc sure tho

[teddy007]

I can honestly I am not excited by none of them, if they make it beyond domestic class that will be down to the fact that the division on the european and world scene is so incredibly weak.

[yiddo14]

Dallas is with Maloney.
I think he is the 3rd best prospect out of those listed, with the top 2 being Price and then Fury.

Should provide us with some decent domestic battles over the next few years.

yeah and that's about the notice they'd get too...

Its strange that Maloney is promoting him but he seems to be slipping under the radar.

He isn't, he is ticking along nicely. Last fought on St George's Day.

Let the loudmouth's try and steal the headlines for now.

[yiddo14]

I'm not saying Dallas is super exciting or will win world titles, just merely saying he will go further than the rest bar Price and Fury

[glahn]

I like Price and Fury most, although they both have flaws that might prevent them from achieving world titles. If you could combine the two of them you would have one hell of a fighter as they both have weaknesses where the other has strengths.

[teddy007]

I'm just cannot believe people are even mentioning world titles in the same sentance as these guys. They never ever win world titles not even a european title.

[teddy007]

it is too early to talk about world titles but it doesnt mean one of these guys wont go all the way.

They are no where the raw talent needed to be world class, look at a young Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Klitschko, to name but a few, then you have other not so good HeavyWeight champions such as Bruno, Ruiz and Rahmen. They were tough tough men and there is absolutely no toughness in any of these guys or attributes that can make me think they will get past domestic level.

[funso banjo baby]

the scene is in a sorry state of flux atm

Fury can be marketed but will be totally exposed at british level.

Chisora is the best prospect by a mile howver hes only 6ft and has moved slowly under warren.

his six round stoppage of sexton looked even more impressive after Sam claimed the prizefighter but instead of moving up Chisora has done next to nothing.

its fair to point out all these guys are still strictly novices.

larry proved he's no good.

dont know dallas

and price is another lump who will always be Ko'd above british level

i can see chisora taking a points win over danny williams for the british title now .

Have you watched a heavyweight fight recently? You don't need to be Riddick Bowe to annex a world title these days. If Valuev can do it then the likes of Fury certainly can.

[teddy007]

Sorry but even Valuev has better tools than the said fighters.

[Murphus]

Tom Dallas has a 5 win 0 losses record, 3 by way of stoppage two in the first round and one in the second. I saw his last two fights against Ben Harding and Slavomir Selicky and he stopped them both in the first round. Dallas is about 6ft 6in and weighs around 16st/ 2 - 3 pounds without an ounce of fat on him, a very fit and very good boxer. he constantly boxes against his apponents who are 3 - 4 stone heavier then him self, (not the other way around) and still gets the results. Also a very quiat and respectfull 23 year old young man.in my oppinion, one to look out for.
