    Thoughts? Against whom are you most excited to see Krusher v2.0?

    It goes without saying that Storm can forget about landing a rubber match any time soon, given his fan-u friendly timidity down the stretch in their rematch, and bizarre strategic reliance on waiting for a KO to fall into his lap with no discernible plan B. :shakehead:

    Of these options, what is the champ's best next move?

    Beterbiev I think would be the best fight, two bangers, rivals, don't like each other. It's a hell of a match up.

    Then Yarde cause I have a guilty pleasure of seeing hypejobs get wrecked. Gvozdyk is an amazing fight too. Don't really care about Ramirez.

    You'd legitimately rather see Yarde than Beterbiev? Or are you being sarcastic. Hard to ever clearly make out with you Brits, as you're both very dry and exceedingly jingoistic. :sisi1

    He has to make a mandatory defence within 180 days right?

    Will be interesting to see if the WBO make Ramirez or Yarde the mandatory. Or if they order them to fight as an eliminator.

    Yarde. Only because we need to see the guy shattered to pieces in a few rounds and BT Sport hypetrain can end. Same thing with dubois but at least he has SOME talent. Chance of it taking place however...0% was the last I heard. He's still on binmen stage 2. Give him another 10-15 fights and he'll be ready for a 500 year old Kovalev.

    the thing about the Beterbiev fight is what way would Kovalev fight. to go 12?? or to knock him out and leave himself open to be knocked out.
    I'd go with a match he can for sure win first. because there is a good chance he loses to beterbiev and the fight probably doesn't make enough to risk. im not saying he can't beat him but i'd favour beterbiev

    In this order, and why.

    Yarde, because I badly want to see his little overrated overhyped pinhead knocked off.
    Ramirez, because he's committed a grave sin in my book, and has bored me for years, he must pay.
    Beterbiev, because I think Kovalev still KO's him.

    Gvozdyk last, because I've always felt he'd beat Kovalev, and I'd prefer Kovalev be KO'd by a "good buddy" and retired by the Lineal Champ than anyone else.

    I voted Yarde... Simply so I can see him be retired by Krusher.
