Arslanbek Makhmudov looks like he would break Deontay Wilders spine, and Furys neck.

If he looks so to you - fine.

 

Has he even beaten a top 10 fighter?

 

Don't have to be a boogeyman to beat one of that mediocre bunch.

 

He's overrated.

 

So you think he'll go the Zhang and Joyce route?

 

Who guarantees that Makhmudov would beat Wilder and against Fury I doubt he would have a chance. Makhmudov needs to be tested with someone like Bakole.

 

That is exactly the fight I'd like to see. Bakole was riding high after his win over Yoka, but Yoka following that up with a defeat to Takam, which took some of the shine off Bakole.

Bakole v Makmuhdov: Two big strong guys who are finding it difficult to get matched. Boxxer should be on the phone to Top Rank. It's been 4 months since Bakolr's signing on fight against a soft touch opponent. They should have him out again this year. No point leaving Bakole inactive.

 

Makhmudov is too slow, he has strength but that's about it, I want to see him fight big fights though, who knows what can happen. Speed vs strength + knockout power, I think speed wins.

 

I like the guy and all, wouldn't mind seeing him in some big fights...but I doubt he would even beat a fast guy with a tough chin like Ruiz. Too plodding and robotic.

 

Mak is getting outboxed all day long.

However if he corners you - something he is very good at - and has you on the retreat then you are f*cked.

 

Bakole would stop Makhmudov.

 

I like the guy, reminds me of a Russian Ogre that brawls .I don't think hes that high of a level, but you never know. I've seen worse rise to the occassion. More than likely will be exposed soon enough though if Takam wasn't enough. He's a fun fighter imo regardless.

 

Correct, Stops them all brutally.

 

Mskhmudov was way too sloppy in his last fight. And his opponent looked like he had never boxed in his life
