    Very underrated - CW in general has been one of the most underrated divisions in boxing for the last 10-12 years. Now it's basically become impossible for the naysayers to deny this. I'm sure some will continue to do so, but no rational boxing fan can deny this anymore. Professor @Serge CW level theory will soon be universally accepted.

    Unless he's declined drastically due to age, Briedis will easily dominate Okolie.

    If he moves up He will be top 7 HW right now. He has more power than Usyk.

    People keep saying this - because they simply don't like Okolie.

    Okolie would beat Briedis and he keeps calling for that fight, but Briedis doesn't want to know about it.

    If he fight does happen and Okolie inevitably beats Briedis, everyone will indeed say "Briedis is old and past it".

    It wasn't close.
    The problem with Briedis is that he does not press for KO if he does thinks that he will win on cards. Cos he looks that is brittle handed but yeah with power. Basic in short: it is some kind close to Floyd Jr as Money not PBF.
    He had some fights delayed cos this even in 2014 th.
    Close it was for guys who prefer boxers from large countries. While rusty Briedis really didn't had spanked him, he did vs over the hill rusty Briedis almost nothing.

    Dorticos likes me a bit better than Briedis btw.

    Okolie if to be fair, clinches better than Dorticos with 0 doubts.
    While called as basic and raw, Dorticos still does have very good durability, excellent gas tank, might move like 200 lber and to hit like he had maybe at least 220 lbs weight in weight ins.
    He really is durable, without body punches Gassiev didn't had opportunity to process his head enough.
    These so called basic moves Dorticos does have are damn well polished and he is really strong guy.

    If you really think Okolie beats Briedis then i don't think you have any idea what you're talking about man. Briedis would DOMINATE Okolie. I can guarantee you that. And i'm a MASSIVE Briedis HATER. I absolutely HATE this guy and while i'm not very high on Okolie i have no hate towards him as a person, just dislike his style. But i really hate Briedis. But he would beat the living crap out of Okolie. 100%.
