Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas & Oleksandr Usyk!!
Surely these are going to be the 4 Heavyweights that should be looking to dominate the heavyweight division within the next 5 years.
All are young unbeaten with perfect records, all with KO power and with well built Physiques worthy of Heavyweights of years gone by!
Yes they are all untested but surely they all need to step up sooner rather than later as Wladimir is obviously finished now and Fury not tecnically great and without much Power for someone his size i truly believe this is open for any of these young guns to take it by storm!
Apart from Wilder, Haye and Fury IMO you can discount all the other heavyweights cos they are not up to scratch!

Povetkin is better than Wilder.

About 99% of us thought Wlad was better than Fury too, who had mostly tomato cans on his resume....aquinas wrote:Povetkin is better than Wilder.

* usyk has enough business with the top cruiserweights ahead
* parker is overrated and limited
* who is rivas
wilder & joshua are the future of the heavyweight division. mr chubby x leg doesnt have the athletic ability to beat those 2 guys.

look you guys had your chances and blew it. if you want to know the future in boxing, than ask an expert, ask me. you are all 90 % non experts. rivas is 6'0 tall and would need a ladder to punch wilder or josh.

One of these guys isn't like the other, and it's the dude that looks like a powerlifter. Rivas' method for getting inside of a reach disadvantage can best be described as "HULK SMASH", which is OK when you fight the Joey Abells but not nearly as good when you move up to the B/C level opposition. I think he'd be in trouble with even the sad old shell of Tony Thompson.
Re: Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas & Oleksandr Usyk!!
Usyk is still a cruiserweight. Let's see if he becomes a HW.
Look out for Hughie Fury. Also look out for Charles Martin IF he makes easy work out of Breazealle.
The 3 others I agree.

tbf, 3 of them are top 10 or so (aj is top 2) and rivas is the bridgerweight goat 
Re: Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas & Oleksandr Usyk!!
Ha!
I read the first post and thought:
"they are all over 30, that ain't young"
And then I checked the date - 2015

Re: Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas & Oleksandr Usyk!!
When written AJ had just won a vacant commonwealth of cornish, now he is a 3 belt champ. Parker had beat noone and since has been world champ and fought on a bunch of PPVs. Rivas was noone as a pro, and for a large part still is, but would of been hard to foresee his eye issues and not being able to fight in the states. Usyk hadnt even done anything as a pro cruiserweight, admittedly his ams combined with WBSS made heavyweight success predictable, but he is about to fight for multiple heavyweight belts.
Its by no means a perfect prediction, But id be quite happy with it. For arguments sake if you were to do it now over the next 5 years id struggle to pick my 4 young guys. DDD, Anderson, Hrgovic, Jalolov? mabey throw Huni or wardly or guido in?
And most of my picks were more established pro heavyweights than these 2015 predictions were.
