    Does Maliks Scott 0 losses mean so much to him, hes been going for a while now 35-0

    why doesn't he start fighting top 20, or at least try step it up.

    Maybe there's a fear he may get exposed too like Seth Mitchell, although he is better skill wise.

    What you guys think, is he gonna feast on bums all his career.

    I have to give respect for Tyson Fury at least hes now trying to challenge himself find good opponents, like he tried getting the Boystov fight,
    and now he will be fighting Kevin Jhonson, I think hes going in the right direction.

    He's 32, he'll never step up.

    Scott needs to step up immediately but will massively fail if he does.

    The following also need to step up quickly:

    Dennis Boystov (31-0) - - Will succeed marginally
    Edmund Gerber (23-0) - - Will massively fail
    Francesco Pianeta (28-0-1) - - Will fail
    David Rodriguez (36-0) - - Will massively fail
    Deontay Wilder (25-0) - - Tough call, but I suspect will succeed

    If he's gonna do it, then it had better be soon. Would love to see him fight someone like Chagaev to guage where he is at.

    He doesn't really have the punching power...
    A good slugger would probably break right through him.

    Right now Malik Scott is irrelevant.

    He'll remain so until he steps up, which I doubt he will. If he does, he will be beaten decisively.

    Given his age and number of fights, his body of work is a joke.

    The same reason none of the other up coming heavyweights with some potential fight each other. Fighting anohter guy with comparable ability could result in losing, none of them draw so they could lose for little money, whereas if you stay undefeated long enough there's a nice 6 figure payday as a Klitschko opponant on the horizon

    I like him, hes a good fighter.

    Tupou was borderline top 20,and he took care of him easily.

    He really doesnt seem to have a whole lot of power though. Nice technical boxer though
