Name a few?
Agit Kabayel
Tom Schwarz
Who are both older?

There are only 2 heavyweights in the top 100 that are 21 or younger and one of them is Nathan Gorman.
Oh, so you must be right then. :brick: :brick:

IMO, you can't discuss the best young European heavyweight prospects without mentioning Lennox Lewis. He is only 52, and I think he's going places.

Hughie Fury fights for British HW title next

Can quickly sort out the U.K. side of this debate with a 4 person U.K. HW tournament

Hughie
Joyce
Gorman
Dubois

All 4 are capable in their own right of winning the British HW title so why not sort out what’s what between them

Will never happen mind

That would be excellent but as you say, won't happen haha. Dubois and Gorman seem to be mentioning each other quite a bit and Fwank has em both so fingers crossed that can happen sooner rather than later.

Part of me thinks Frank quite fancies that as deep down he thinks Dubois wins and by doing so it’d be a well disguised poke in the eye to Ricky Hatton, Gormans trainer .

I'm sure I've heard that name before.

It seems no thread about heavyweight prospects is complete without the mention of the illustrious Zhang Jun Long. (yes I appreciate he's neither young nor European, bear with me) The guy is 36 or 37 I forget which. He isn't a contender, he's done nothing to deserve a top 10 or even top 20 ranking, He allegedly has designs on the main prize so he isn't a journeyman. To call a man who's four years older than Wilder a prospect sounds ridiculous, but how else would you describe him?

There are plenty of other so-called prospects who won't see their twenties again, to name a few who spring to mind ... Sergei Kuzmin, Bogdan Dinu, Ezren Rrustemi, Michael Wallisch, Onoriode Ehwarieme, and so on and so forth.

Is there another more suitable description for these ambitious old geezers? :D
