    Pretty Boy Kudryashow. Well, he’s trying anyway.


    Loma and Canelo would be my serious picks.

    He was getting tagged plenty by Kris George. Kelly has a long way to go

    How did Josh Kelly get a mention and not his stablemate Ryan Burnett?

    Ryan has also done it at the higher levels.

    Even when his back mashed up and he was on ropes. Donaire missed a lot of the shots

    I'd argue that Usk is the best...

    He's head.movement from side to side while he's standing 8 inches away from a heavyweight carries far more risk than any other weight class.

    He is too slick... and keeps hes hands down with confidence against light heavies and heavies.. unlike floyd who wil duck down and away while guard is firmly in place against 147.pounders.

    Usyk.

    that guy in the advert breaks for sky boxing channels who reverse flips into the ring is quite good too.

    Lomachenko, Rigo, Farmer, Canelo all are high level
    at this. There are some other guys but they haven't
    showed it at title level yet.

    Froch was an awful defensive fighter, he got exposed by Ward, who boxed his ears off.

    I think that sarcasm went well over your head mate.

    True, but even though there's no reason to, he often gets in close and rolls that shoulder like Floyd. He could jab all night but he chooses to go in. Pure beast.
