    Okolie would stop him.

    Thoughts?

    I don't think so, he annihilated Glowacki (elbow or no), beat Makabu, beat Dorticos, was very competitive with Usyk. I think if Okolie does win it will be a boring UD.

    Not sure about overrated. Never heard him being mentioned in p4p ratings. He's the best in his division currently but not the best of his era, which is Usyk.

    Briedis a much better boxer than Okolie but Okolie size and power is trouble for anyone at CW and is only getting better.

    He didn't beat Makabu, unfortunately only Bellew has done that since his debut.

    If Breidis is overrated, Okolie is a weight bully.

    The only reason Breidis is being considered is because he's closing in on 37. Okolie's a weight bully anyway.. Weight bullying your way to unification is not impressive, if he does unify and then does well at HW then I'd give him credit.

    Then I guess if Okolie gets a win over him, it won't mean a damn thing, eh @Safin?

    I thought Dorticos looked a little off in their fight, but not to an extent you can discount the win.

    He's not overrated, he's good.

    Why? For me doesn't looks that someone will gave him any one from TOP5 HW boxers to fight with.
    Looks that most likely even for Kalle he is interesting only cos his resume.
    Old boxer from small country, why to promote this if there are more promising to earn with boxers from larger countries with possibly large fanbase.
    Pro boxing is business for boxers from large countries and if you are from small country, better to pick up another career.

    Nope, normal Dorticos, btw Dorticos resume is undervalued and he appeared one from WBSS1 boxers who didn't had get injured in fights, training, after WBSS1 era etc.
    Ofc he had get from Gassiev but otherwise he is more " fresh " than Briedis from WBSS2 era and also more fresh than Usyk currently is.
    Gassiev after WBSS get injured and had a lot of problems cos this, Usyk had some poblems befor fight vs Gassiev and Briedis in WBSS2 initially looked lethargic and half alive. later looked a bit better vs Glowacki and a little bit better vs Dorticos.
    Looks that he is old.
