    He's clearly headed in the wrong direction, similar to Dychko. He's been pro for quite a long time now, yet hasn't fought a top 50 opponent.

    Or he might not.

    There's no credit for things that haven't been proved.

    Great amateur - irrelevant as a pro.

    Good point, not a chance that Itauma gets chin checked. Not even a remote chance.

    Another good question would be, In 2030 what number will we be on for the amount of times Tyson Fury has come out of retirement?

    If we are on 5 already, I'm guessing we will be on number 10 by then.

    Do David Surov and Pat Brown deserve to have their name in the hat at this stage?

    Teremoana and Surov should be there.

    Also, Jalolov should probably still be there, despite looking poor recently. You can't completely rule him out just yet, with all the credentials and pedigree he has.

    probably a fractured titles like mid 2000's after Lewis retired, Wlad was rebuilding and Vitali retired briefly. Probably 4 different title holders and no single dominant force

    @CST80 - I remember your assessment on Itauma, Torrez, Jalolov, Teremoana Teremoana and the Pero brothers - and it was an excellent and really interesting assessment that I enjoyed reading. You weren't (and I guess still aren't) particularly convinced by any of them - with Itauma leading the pack as the frontrunner although.

    We've seen Dubois, Wardley, Anderson, and Huni enough to get somewhat of a judgement on them. But, what are your thoughts on Vanhouter, Dronov and Atang? Do we have another hype job in the works?
