If you could sign 5 heavyweights who would you sign.

Post by jameswilson »

The caveat being you can only sign 1 each from each band of 20 ranked heavyweight according to the current boxrec ratings. ie 1 from 1-20, 1 from 21-40 etc.

I was thinking to myself when Helenius beat the Pole recently that his manager and promoter will be well happy as he will surely get a decent fight in the next year or so.

Discuss.

Fury, Parker, Hrgovic, Romanov, Zhang.

Going by BoxRec rankings here: https://boxrec.com/en/ratings?division= ... et=0&sex=M

Edit: Bollocks, sorry was going on bands of 10!

Edit 2: Just had a look and would go Fury, Hrgovic, Zhang and take your pick from the rest, none stand out beyond the 60 mark.

I don't rate Zhang at all but he is big, unbeaten and most of all Chinese!

Joshua. Almost picked Dubois, but I know AJ will get more big paydays Dubois likely will, but it's less of a certain thing.

Also considered Wilder and Fury. But AJ is younger than Wilder and Fury I could alwaays see retiring, or at least retiring for some time.

20-40 Makhmudov
40-60 Sirenko
60-80-Jalolov
80-100 Wardley

I'd sign Jared Anderson but he's #105

The most important thing is to have the champ and only let him fight your guy, come with the champ leave with the champ

1-20: Tyson Fury - Safe bet on making blobs of money.

21-40: Hrgovic. I know I keep saying he hasn't convinced me but he's still 27 and has room to run.

41-60: Vladyslav Sirenko. More I see him the more I like him. Think he'll be a solid top 10 guy in the not so distant future.

61-80: Guido Vianello. Has the look and feel of a solid HW. No one else in this range does anything for me.

81-100: Darmani Rock. 4 y/o American. If he can take the next step he'll be hyped as there aren't any good American HW's in the near term. Like Tony said, if Anderson wasn't 105 I'd take him here.

1-20; AJ, the biggest money man and the youngest of the top hws. Dub may become a star but not sure he'll make anything like AJ. More of a gamble there

21-40: I'll say Efe just because no one has yet. Strong fun young guy to watch, could be at least guided to a shot :yay:

41-60: Not a lot of good stuff, standouts prob Dychko, Milas and Sirenko. Dychko seems to go nowhere, so I'll go 25 year old Sirenko. I'm not really seeing the Chinese big money in boxing like others are. Do they even care that the dude is big? Zhang's a loss waiting to happen even matched cautiously IMO.

61-80: Jalolov, he may be focusing amateurs but is only 25 and has the most potential. F@cking awesome KO over the top American amateur HW of recent years (and yes that included gawd's jab lol). Hype him as the next Vitali Klit or something and dudes will already be handing him wins left right and centre

81-100: Fabby Wardly (of course 'the Dillian Whyte managed Fabio Wardly) for some UK luvs and hypes

Darmani Rock must be one beastly 4 year old :o

How long of a contract do you get? IF you get em for life id go

1-20 DDD (for the big gamble. cant see him being a star with his personality realy need 10 world champ years out of him here....If shorter term swap out for AJ or fury)
21-40 Hrgovic (close with efe who is worse but tv friendly style, and yoka who is just as good, but already probem with doping tests.)
41-60 Dychko (29, done very little but going to be tricky for anyone, )
61-80 Guido Vianello (young, been on some decent show, just edges the Uzbekistan guy who is probly better but iv never actuly seen him box.)
81-100 Mahammadrasul Majidov (old and only 2 fights, but if you fast tracked him he could have a reasonable chance at winning a title)

all could go places. probly should of picked USA/UK guys for money making..

Do people realise AJ and Fury are roughly the same age?
What % will they get when they box?
I’d want 60 minimum if I was Tyson. AJ was embarrassed in his us debut.
