    I think Frank Sanchez will win one of the 4 titles in a few years .

    That's when Torrez was 18, he did much better in their recent Olympic fight. I agree though, Jalolov is a step above.

    A polished Jalolov would be as impressive as a Lennox Lewis IMO.

    I didn't have him before. He's not close to that level.

    I,m also not sure, but one thing about him , he can take anyone out.
    He last fight wasn,t that good to be honest, but that happened with all contenders before him.
    Bruno vs smith/ Phil Brown / Cummings
    Tyson vs Mitch Green
    Wilder vs Sconiers
    holmes vs Don Branch
    James Smith vs Broad
    W Klitscko vs Sanders
    holyfield vs Dwight Quawi
    And a lot more !

    I am not sure there are even 5 legitimate contenders fighting in this abysmal era.

    Maybe Jalolov or Sanchez. But, who knows? Neither has fought anybody good.

    I had Makhmudov rated higher until that fight with Takam . To me he seemed easier to hit than a speed bag with overhand rights. Power can overcome a lot but sooner or later you got to have some kind of defense.

    I agree. And ironically the Takam fight may have done him a lot of good, going the rounds and think beyond a knockout win.
