    Pffft. I mean he's alright, but...a clear #3, really?

    I'm glad IB is around to ask the questions for me. I'd rather him go and do the other thread though.

    Dont think there is a clear no3. You can argue Postol, despite good performances only has one decent win in Matthysse which was like 5 years ago. Mimoune, Lundy and Aydin are decent enough but most of them ate over 5 years ago as well.

    Obviously if you think he beat Ramirez theb I can see your argument there.

    Derevyanchenko has Culcay, Johnson and a finished Soliman.

    Dalakian has Viloria and a series of contenders.

    None really stand themselves out. Dalakian is in a **** poor division mind so I can see him marked down for lesser competition and Derev and Postol have performed well in defeats.

    Ukraine seem to be heading for a slump with aging fighters and the younger ones not quite doing it.

    Derevyanchenko is the clear number 3. Very good fighter He beat Golovkin.

    Oleksandr Khyzhniak is the P4P number 1 amateur in the world right now, he's a mother****ing BEAST. Serious, serious talent of the Loma/Usyk level. He'll be turning pro straight after the Olympics and I'd expect him to be fast tracked. There's other good amateurs too such as Yaroslav Khartsyz, Yurii Shestak, Ievgenii Barabanov, Mykola Butsenko, Robert Marton.

    Theres good pro prospects in Serhii Bohachuk, Fedir Cherkashyn, Vladyslav Sirenko, Vyktor Vykhryst, Ivan Golub, Denys Berinchyk

    I did have it 114-113 Derevyanchenko, but that wasn't the best GGG we've seen.

    Derevyanchenko is effective but very flawed. I have a bad feeling he's going to get caught cold early against Charlo next month.

    Derevyachenko for me. No doubt he schools Charlo and gets robbed next time out.
