Is this Brazilian fighter potentially the best cruiserweight right now?

    Meet William Fernando Souza Bezerra http://boxrec.com/boxer/536325

    He is currently ranked #1 in Brazil and #61 in the world (according the boxrecs biased algorithms).

    His record is 41-0-0 (40 KOs) and he has defeated 17, yes 17 undefeated fighters

    How do you think this guy would fair against the likes of Usyk, Glowacki, Lebedev, Gassiev, Bellew, Makabu, Dorticus and Cunningham?

    Must be homies with Brian Nielsen and Deontay Wilder.

    By my count, he has only fought 2 guys with over 20 fights. This guy is literally a can crusher.

    I have seen footage from his fights, he is not nothing excellent, his record consists of unknown journeyman and he is not ranked in ABC's anymore.

    Yeah incredibly padded record. If he stepped his game up he wouldn't be any different than the likes Costa Jr. Arias, Nascimento, Love or any of the other Brazilian journeymen we've come to know.

    Thats not really a fair assessment to make on him lets not forget Pacquiao had two KO losses before his first fight in the states and he turned out to be an ATG.

    Im not saying this guy is amazing but his record does look good he just probably hasnt had the same opportunity a lot of american and british fighters do

    You couldve said the same thing about GGG when he was fighting in Germany and now GGG has potential to go down as a fIrst ballot HOF because he had the opportunity to show his skillset that this guy hasnt yet.

    Bezerra is on a 20+ KO streak, similar to GGG

    A great amatuer background 96-2 And various gold medals in tournaments, like GGG.

    He fights mainly in Brazil, like GGG fought mainly in Germany

    He focuses on one division (probably of the most toughest in boxing behind 154, 175 and 147lbs)

    He's in his early 30s, at a higher weight class so he still has some of his prime years left.

    We should see how he handles the top 10 of the division if they have the guts to call him out. I find it strange that Despite all of the facts i have given about his resume boxrec still has him ranked in the 60s. I guess nowadays you have to fight in the USA to be even remotely recognised
