    Why are several of the younger heavyweights in the top 25 (according to BoxRec ) so inactive?

    Fighters should not waste their prime with inactivity.

    These boxers should have a fight scheduled by now.

    Hughie Fury is fighting Michael Hunter next. Gassiev has been plagued with injuries. Kabayel has been fighting nobodies for years. Ajagba isn't very good.

    I'm happy to read that Hughie Fury will be fighting Michael Hunter. That's an interesting matchup, although it may be somewhat dull to watch.

    It seems Kabayel is being avoided, or he is poorly promoted. He needs a big fight before he gets too much older.

    I think Ajagba still has potential. He has world-class power, and would have a good chance of knocking out many heavyweights, since most are much slower on their feet and not as elusive as Sanchez.

    Hughie Fury is cultivating mass, ready to take over once the current top dogs retire

    Ajagba got his ass kicked by Sanchez not that long ago. Gassiev breaks something every time he gets out of bed.

    Kabayel is being promoted by Ulf Steinforth eho is really a small time promoter.
    He’s just a ticket seller in his hometown.

    Andrey Fedosov, Majidov, and Sergey Kuzmin are the same for some reason (I know they aren't 'younger')

    I still hope for Gassiev but on top of his injury problems, he now has to deal with promotors and organizations that do not want to sanction Russian fighters.

    Maybe it is for the best. He can wait until Usyk and Fury go away before he makes a move.

    Kabayel rejected Hrgovic and is overrated, he has nothing to look for against top fighters, Gassiev is a stranger to me in the heavyweight division but he could achieve something, Ajagba is a worse version of Wilder and I don't think he will win the title, Hughie Fury is fighting Hunter at least it says here but we'll see...

    No I just see no evidence, no reason what so ever as to why anyone would be confident Hughie ****ing Fury would beat AJ, DESPITE his losses to Povetkin, Parker and ****ing Pulev.

    Oh I forgot, he was decent against Marius Wach and Christian Hammer - Just a reminder that he was almost TKO'd by Wach due to a bad cut, as he decided to fight him in a slug fest rather than box him, and Christian Hammer was basically there to lose as his corner retired him due to a injury.

    Oh yeah! AJ is shitting himself.

    TL;DR - :facepalm:
