I'd like know wtf happened to Mike Perez in 2012.
Re: Who was the most impressive up-and-coming heavyweight in 2012?
There were 7 up-and-coming HWs who impressed me:
Kubrat Pulev
Tyson Fury
David Price
Bryant Jennings
Deontay Wilder
Vyacheslav Glazkov
Bogdan Dinu
The heavyweight division is more interesting now than it was in 2009-2011.

Agreed.
Not up and coming, but Jonathan Banks really put himself in the mix with his Seth Mitchell destruction. If he repeats this in the 2013 rematch, he may get a shot.

Bryant Jennings and after that Deontay Wilder.
Lyle, of course, will beg to differ ;D

Same, I keep checking but nothing.
He had 6 fights in 2011 (Including Prizefighter) but 0 in 2012.
I think he's pretty much destroyed the momentum he had, if he had of continued a the same speed he may be in the UK mix right now.

He was supposed to be fighting Chagaev on 12/12/12 but he injured his shoulder and withdrew.

Aw that's right mate, I heard about Ruslan Chagev fight and completely forgot about it.
Hope it gets rescheduled
Re: Who was the most impressive up-and-coming heavyweight in 2012?
Wilder vs Fury or Price would tell us a lot. Price is the best off the 3 IMO

Agreed, Wilder has that kinda power though that can make you a world champion undeservedly.
Frank Warren is working on getting Fury, Price, Haye & Chisora in a tournament.

Yeah I knew about the shoulder but still that was way over a year ago and not a peep. I figured him to just burst onto the scene. Dare I say Mike Tyson like.
Re: Who was the most impressive up-and-coming heavyweight in 2012?
A tournament would be a great idea but with Vitali on the verge of retiring these contenders will not want to risk their position with a risk of no title fight.

Where did you hear this? Can't see it happening I'm afraid
Frank Warren eyes four-way heavyweight showdown between David Haye, Tyson Fury, David Price and Dere | Boxing News | ESPN.co.uk
Does seem unlikely though, but I'm hopeful nonetheless.

I think Chisora has some rebuilding to do, after losing 4 fights in a row. Plus Haye won't fight anyone not called Klitschko.
