    But he's WBA regular, which is #1 to Usyk.

    sure but is that ranking merited or are these just manipulated rankings? I do not understand why Gassiev is ranked so high.

    He KOd Pulev who beat Charr who sued the WBA for the regular title which they gave him if I'm remembering this right

    But yes the WBA rankings are bizarre to say the least

    Because he won the belt, which makes him #1. It really isn't about the merit of having the spot, it's about having a commodity that others would like to have.

    Jared Anderson has a torn bicep, and is off the Wardley-Dubois card.

    I hope someone will step in and fight Dacres.

    He's got to step up now, though.

    Last hope of Ukraine for Usyk to have someone to pass the torch to.The rest of them...Vykhorst...Rogava...Sirenko...are all busts. Hrytsiv maybe as a bridger.

    Would be a fine stay busy fight for Itauma, and would sell tickets and PPVs.

    David Nyika training the house down. Beware of a man fighting for his woman.

    After last night, Gassiev vs Miller would be an interesting fight.

    Yoka is also mentioned as a possible replacement for Anderson...

    Decent match-up would make sense.

    Also Jalolov, who was supposed to be on this card but has no opponent yet.

    Who do we think are the top 5 prospects at heavyweight right now? By prospects, i mean guys who have not beaten a legit top 10 heavyweight opponent. Wardley and Kabayel are 2 of the 3 best heavyweights in the world so they do not count.

    IMO:

    1. Itauma
    2. Surov
    3. Andrii Novytskyi
    4. Torrez Jr.
    5. Huni
