    He gets slept on too much for some reason. Hes the best USA HW coming up imo, do you agree? If not who is?

    Totally agree. Only American HW who beat him currently imo is Wilder, and even then it’s not an easy fight at all.

    Yep. Any idea why he is not popular among American fans? Strange how they are not getting behind him

    Maybe he should of had 30 odd meaningless fights in which he built up a long KO streak for Youtube-tards to gush over the highlight videos of.

    Trey Morrison is .

    Hunter is more ready for big fights bc he's already been in them but his ceiling is limited , I'm still seeing sparring partner qualities in him going through the motions.

    But longer term with better chance of getting a big title fight goes to Morrison.

    Trey Morrison is absolutely dire mate.

    Hunter would brutally stop him
    If they fought now or in 2-3 years.

    I can’t see a better US prospect than Michael Hunter out there.

    If you go lower down as prospects you are left with Cassius Chaney and Jermaine Franklin. They are on the level of Trey Lippe.

    Don’t see it. I like Michael Hunter and admittedly he has talent, but he needs to get his weight down and fight more before I can take him seriously at heavyweight. He should be coming in around 205 instead of 210+, since at 210+ I see guys like Chisora, Whyte, and even Miller knocking him out. At least at 205 he’d have a speed advantage and might be able to out hustle them to a decision. But, other than that I still see him falling short against Ortiz, Wilder, T. Fury, or Joshua.

    Surely that's not the reason? Really?

    I still think Jennings is the second best HW in the US right now. A fight between the two would answer a lot of questions.

    Yup it is.
    Russell is a top class fighter, if he was more active he would have a good claim to p4p top 10. How often do you see americans praising him? Literally never. To praise him would be to prop up lomachenko.
    That is a healthy section of american boxing fans that would probably preferred if russell and hunter never boxed again after their loses

    Jarrell Miller destroys both Hunter and Jennings. I really like Hunter though, I think he s got what it takes to shake up a few of the big boys.

    That's true Russell Jr is very good but he's not talked about. Danny Jacobs is criminally underrated too yet they love Charlo.
    You are probably right, it's really sad that they do that.

    I don't see that at all, He'd school Chisora and Whyte quite easily.

    Wow! Never thought of that. Is that really how some boxing fans operate?? That’s pretty pathetic.
