    I think it's fair to say Hunter is the new bogeyman of the division.

    Ha, Hunter still gives Bakole nightmares. @billy nelson s**** his pants at just the thought of letting his man in the ring with him again.

    this will be a good fight if it happens -- I think Bakole is the better pro because he is more relaxed but the Hunter fight does make me wonder if his heart could be broken by someone like Hygovic

    Why would Hunter rematch him when Hunter is on the brink of fighting for a world title? Get a grip and stop talking shite

    It's absolute madness that Hunter can be on the verge of a World Title shot, the Bakole, Ustinov, Maldonado and Kuzmin wins are decent but that's it, that's not deserving of a World title shot in my opinion, especially when you've just demonstrated what level you're at against Povetkin whilst looking like a Cruiser with a chicken wing addiction.

    are you serious? you don't need to beat much to get a heavyweight title shot.

    He'd absolutely obliterated everyone that had stood in front of him prior to his World Title shot. I thought it was a little soft but that was the state of the division back then. Dillian Whyte now looks like a great win, greater than anything Hunter has done.

    Hunter was shafted against Povetkin, should have got the W. Whyte was no better than British level when Joshua fought him. I would say Bakole was when Hunter beat him. Povetkin was too though gave as a draw.

    I don't think Whyte has suddenly gone from British level to WBC Number 1 in terms of ability, he wasn't some wet behind he ears novice when he fought Joshua, they were both pretty much at the same point in their careers. The win looks far more impressive now because we've seen that Whyte is actually decent. Hunter can feel a little bit aggrieved but personally I don't think he deserved to win, it was an awful fight and neither deserved any glory on the night.
