Who will prove to be the number 1 UK fighter at 175 in the next few years?

Probably buatsi now

I had my doubts but that win over bolotniks was a good one.

yarde and Arthur are a bit pants. That first fight was so boring! Yarde too lazy and Arthur too scared to throw a right hand! No thanks.

richards can rule the uk scene no problem

johnson has gone from Hearn to Warren and his next opponent says it all really 145th in the world when really he should be knocking on another world title eliminator

 

Buatsi hands down,

Take him out then its a lottery, could be any of the rest for number 2

If I had to put the house on number 2 it would be Johnson, that man can whack like a mule. Age and inactivity are his biggest flaws.
I suppose the inactivity means he is a fresh 36, he also didn't last long enough to get ruined by Beterbiev.

Smith is finished IMO, could be wrong but he was terrible against Ryder and should have lost.
I think any of the rest would have given Canelo a better fight than Smith did. Still get beaten like a drum, but I think they would all try harder to win lol.

 

Most likely. Bolotniks is better than Ford and Calic, Burton, Michel and Ward.
He had handled out upsets to 4 prospects in row, 2 were undefeated before they had Bolotniks in the ring.
To prepare for Bivol or Beterbiev: not enough, first thing is different style and about other things there is not worth to talk too long.

 

Buatsi needs to actually fight one of them on the list first

 

Callum Smith fights once every 7 years or so, I doubt he'll feature.

 

No Tommy Fury option?

 

Callum Smith! After his performance last week it looks like 175 suits him.

 

Callum Smith has god's in his fists. I'm genuinely concerned for his opponents going forward.
