    Peter Mcgrail
    Ben Whittaker

    I can see Jared Anderson being progressed slowly, avoiding all of the above until they are gone and eventually wearing some of the belts. At only 24 his timing on the scene could be just right.

    AJ will hang around a little longer and pick up a third title.

    No obvious successor. Zhang is the oldest of the bunch, Joyce the next oldest. Hrgovic ain't got it, neither does Dubois, and Jalalov's career is going nowhere.

    We are going to have mediocre guys like Hrgovic, Wallin, Sanchez as simultaneous belt holders, since the titles will fracture. Get ready for some of the worst title fights imaginable.

    How come he isn't fighting Hrgovic on the Saudi card?
    Pretty dim reading.

    Even though I don't Dubois and he is a quitter I reckon if Frank manages him right he will end up with a belt once the current crop retires.

    I’ve heard he dropped Usyk, AJ, Hrgovic, Joyce, Hunter, Whyte, Takam, and Fury in sparring. He’s got a similar skillset to Usyk with the thudding power for George Foreman, I don’t see anyone being able to beat him today, or ever (except Michael Hunter and about 10 other heavyweights active today).

    I think Whyte will be retired before long. I could see him holding out for one more decent pay day as an opponent, maybe even take the role as a gatekeeper for an up and comer. Could also see him fight Chisora for a third time. 2 fights max left for Whyte I reckon.

    Bakole aint on Fury or Usyk's level

    And I doubt he beats Wilder, Joshua, Hrgovic, Zhang either,

    He needs a weak champ to get a title.

    I've heard he's a machine that bloke, give him a couple of cans of stella and he'll run through these guys quicker than a pack of laxatives.
