    ironically we were once accused of being the same person by one of the forum's interesting long since banned people. Still makes me chuckle.

    Yeah I know what you mean, I think I just have a lot more admiration for Richards while I see Buatsi as a bit of an enigma right now, he's doing nothing and that loses you marks.

    It's a tough 1 to distinguish between the boxers (Richards/Buatsi) to the punchers (Azeez/Yarde)

    For me Smith is #1 because he can do both and has been at world level well before the others, then I have to say after that performance against Beterbiev I'd squeeze Yarde #2 just above Buatsi. #4 Azeez only because of activity but I do think Richards is a better boxer, showed a lot in that fight with both Bivol & Buatsi but yeah sadly Richards 5th.

    It's close between all of them, Buatsi the least tested but on pure skill and potential I rate him slightly higher than Yarde. His performance vs Richards doesn't get the credit it deserves for me. Richards was extremely unlucky against Bivol and I'd bet my car that Bivol beats Beterbiev. A lot of unknowns and hypotheticals which doesn't often translate into real life! but hopefully we get to see them against each other and challenging for more world honors.
    All of them are brilliant fighters.

    Thing about Richards is I think the recent uncoverings from his gym taint the competitive Bivol performance a bit. Or I could just be speculating
