Who was the most impressive up-and-coming heavyweight in 2012?

[IamInuit]

I'd like know wtf happened to Mike Perez in 2012.

[Freedom]

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.

This is asked with respect. What about Deontay Wilder, besides his power, impressed you?

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

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.

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

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.

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.
