    Big step up.

    It is but I think Granat will handle this easily. How is Bakhtov december? Too soon?

    I'm not too high on Granat anymore.Looks vunerable.

    Airich has as good power as Bakhtov so we'll have a good answer on Granat's chin by september.

    I don't think Huck will get to Wladimir,if he moves up.Only chance I see if he gets matched softly.

    He could beat Bowie Tupou and Michael Wallisch, would put him in position to fight Fedosov for the WBO mandatory.

    IMHO, Joshua is still 4-5 fights away from his shot, and the WBO will not push for him into a mandatory position.

    Charles Martin is also highly rated and on the cusp of a title shot, of which he'd be highly qualified to get if he were to take a Huck fight, but considering Huck has that iron jaw, tight defense and throws bombs with both hands, I highly doubt they'd risk that type of opponent to get to Wlad.

    He'll probably go the Chagaev route if he fights for a title in the next 18 months. And he could go after Briggs, Tarver, USS, or Jennings to get to Chaggy.

    Now, Wallisch and Tupou are neither GREAT HWs, MOF, I view them both on about the level of Amir Monsour, but due to their rankings, and the payday Hucks name brings, they could be the perfect stepping stones for Huck to get a Wlad fight within 18 months. :think

    Massive leap... Hope he's improved his jab. He looks good, but his jab is really lacking.

    Did Michael Hunter stepped down to cruiserweight? Might be good for him if so.

    Hugh Fury gets a decision over Arias.

    Unanimous scores of 100-90. Not a bad win for the lad of twenty.

    Done deal: GGG-Lemieux 160 unification fight. Oct. 17 on HBO PPV from Madison Square Garden. Bombs away
    GGG-Lemieux undercard likely to include Roman Gonzalez and unbeaten heavyweight Luis "King Kong" Ortiz.
