We'll say for the sake of argument that we all agree Klitschko is the best at Heavyweight right now.

My question to you guys, who is the best up and comer in boxing? And by that I don't mean new guy like just Brock, Peter, or the Russian's. Who under Klitschko is the best fighter at Heavyweight, and/or (depending on if you think it's the same person or not) who do you think has the best chance of beating him right now?

And finally, in case it's also a different set of fighters, what is the best fight that can be made in the Heavyweight division right now?
