Wladimir Klitschko: Heavyweight star could struggle without Vitali

Wladimir Klitschko stands above every other heavyweight at the moment - but I feel he will be hit hard by his brother's retirement.

Personality
Elsewhere, we have three good, young American talents to keep an eye on in Deontay Wilder, Johnathon Banks and Seth Mitchell, especially Wilder, who seems to like portraying himself as a bad boy of boxing. That personality will always get you noticed - not always for the right reasons, mind you - while he is big, tall, yet to lose and made very light work of Audley Harrison, so he will think he is right in the mix for a world-title shot. I would love to see Wilder and Fury fight it out for world honours later down the line - once Wilder is known by more than just diehard boxing fans - because a match between two hungry, up-and-coming powerhouses is box office and deserves to be for a title. For us British fans, though, Anthony Joshua's development will be intriguing I think you can move him up pretty rapidly because as an Olympic champion he is laced with skills, but he is still a baby in heavyweight terms so I don't expect his people to be flinging him towards a world title too soon. Yet, if you are good enough to win super-heavyweight gold in the Olympics you should not be too far away from fighting for belts.
