    I think a fight against Enzo would be interesting and a good measuring stick to see where he's at.

    What will knocking out Enzo prove? Enzo has to fight Kutcher this weekend by the way, so he probably won't even get the chance.

    I thought makabu would ko Tony. I wanted Tony to win but i did think hed get beat.
    Usyk would be Bombers toughest opp out of all i can think of at cruiser.
    All the others hes right up with now imo

    He has just rendered a world level fighter unconscious in 3 rounds. He is the best in the division imo

    Makabu is the sort of overrated fighter that we see often when there are foreigners with high KO %'s.

    Who had he beaten? A 45 year old Johnson? So what?

    It was the same with Maidana before the Khan fight and with Barroso before he fought Crolla.

    If we have a Brit who fights bums and has a high KO % he is called a hypejob. If it's Johnny Foreigner who has the same sort of record he becomes a massive threat. It's truly bizarre.

    He dominated amateurs a whole lot better than Bellew with ease for years and will be a world champion the first time he is presented with the opportunity.

    I would happily wager whatever you would be up for should the meet up mate, hope this happens now lol.

    Who has Bellew beaten of not? An African with a padded record who's best victory was a jaded glen Johnson.

    This guy would brutalise Bellew.

    The fact that Tony was screaming that he's the best at CW whilst winning a vacant belt say's it all about his self belief, IMO.

    He knows he's not gonna beat the top boys.
