    Andrerson, Ajagba, Demirezen would all rid us of this fan unfriendly plodder & grabber.

    Even though I said Makhmudov was overrated, the reality is, the man still hits like a Makh Truck, and that knockdown he scored on Takam in the first was the worst possible thing that could've happened. It caused Takam to sit up and take notice, and quickly get a read on what he needed to fear, which is that ghoulish straight right. So from that point on, Takam got low and stayed low, ducking under that mother****er all night. Most of Makhmudov's potential opponents simply do not have the skillset and evasive skills of a fighter like Takam, so they certainly couldn't adjust that quickly and provide him with that unhittable a target. So while I think Makhmudov is very beatable, especially against the top tier, but he smokes most of the guys in and around Takam's level. So... bring on Kevin Lerena, Trevor Bryan, Jermaine Franklin, Gerald Washington or Simon Kean. Then step him up to the Wallin's and Ortiz's.

    I think the question is, what fight is the most realistic at this stage? I think Zhang, Demirezen, Wallin or Bakole would take the fight if the money is ok.
    No way Kabayel, Ajagba, Whyte or Ortiz would take the fight.

    All solid choices. I'd still be up for a Jerry Forrest fight as well.

    What is next for Makhmudov? Another old past his prime fighter. This guy is 33 years old and has been a pro for 5 years, yet he is still fighting old men and never will be fighters.

    Hello i heart butts, nice to see you welcome to the forums. You dont think Makhmudov will fight for a title then in a few fights time.

    How do we know how hard he punches? He has yet to face a world class elite fighter who we know can take a punch. It is like saying Tye Field hit like a mack truck because he had a bunch of knockouts against low level fighters and old men.

    I could see Ajagba taking it. He fought Sanchez who was a risky fight and likely not that good of a payday.

    My thoughts exactly, I was appalled at how easy he was to hit with overhand rights you could see coming a mile a mile away. He needs to learn his craft with more fights before considering stepping up .

    I'd say Anderson kills him at this point
