    Nobody wants that work. Much like no one mentions Povetkin. Two guys that if any of the belt holders took on and beat, they would get instant credit that money can't buy.

    They will have to deal with him sooner or later. Pulev has to wait for that mandatory shot but this time he will have to fight somebody to get there. Povetkin will destroy Pulev if they will fight in a eliminator. Povetkin would have a difficult time with Ortiz but Ortiz would be done once he would start gass after 6 or 7 round, he would lose a points decision.

    Parker vs Povetkin I feel is like Ray sefo vs Andy hug in the kick boxing world.

    I feel like not only is Povetkin avoided but also if he is not given his dues and allowed to compete with the belt holders, he will become an enigma.

    He may become like Archie Moore and earnie shavers. Feared by other boxers but probably not given the kudos they deserved outside the boxing community.

    As I understand it ... Ortiz can apply in March 2018 to have his ban lifted by the WBA.

    Kennedy is the perfect choice for a comeback opponent.... Poses almost no risk, Irish... Easy to sell fight.

    Is he any good or what? What are your thoughts on him?

    He has potential, good head movement, good power, good speed. There are still some questionmarks. How is his chin? How is his stamina? Can he do the same against a top level opponent? I think he's one to watch.

    He clearly has a fierce power. Can't find any amateur record but looks well schooled. Clearly overweight but compensates his weight isues with relentless pressure style.

    So far you can't say how good his chin or stamina are because he hasn't faced anyone of note. But his next fight will show if he is any good. So far he looks good but I want see him against Delic to give further judgment on him. Delic has been stopped only twice by Arslan and Gomez in 6 round, so will see how Camkiran does.
