    Thats no surprise. Failed drug test, no fans, **** style, had no promoter for a while (only had Brook getting him fights on his cards). Matchroom only signed him once he got a mandatory spot.

    As old Bob said it would be a travesty if catterall gets in the way of an undisputed fight.not a dig at catterall btw he's waited a long time as mando whether you believe he really earned the right to be there or not.

    Catterall is nowhere near ready for Ramirez imo, he should take a fight with Postol and see if he can make the leap before challenging the winner of Taylor-Postol.

    If he's not ready now he never will be imo.theres no way he'd suddenly decide to take a fight with a guy like postol and risk losing that mando spot.warren would be avin none a that.

    Fighting Postol would be an unnecessary risk. It's not as if it's a much easier fight than Ramirez. You could even argue it's a harder fight than Ramirez. Many people, myself included, thought Postol beat Ramirez.

    Quite a lot need to;

    Dubois
    Joyce
    Yarde
    Buasti
    T.Fury
    H.Fury
    BJS
    Brook
    Khan
    Okolie
    Eubank
    C.Smith

    Off the top of my head only really AJ and Whyte have been fighting quality opponents often.

    Okolie looks that will have fight with Glowacki. Glowacki is very dangerous till last second of fight. Huck almost defeated him, get catched with punch and Glowacki capitalised this chance to continue and achieved stoppage. In the fight that Huck almost had won.
    ofc he is not Briedis, vs Briedis he ( Okolie ) can't offer anything in clinch and will get steamrolled if clinched.
    Still if Glowacki managed to land on him punch, might be not better than if from Usyk or Briedis. Usyk also defeated Glowacki by points, this is additional measure how dangerous a boxer is if Usyk in prime shape did not finished him. & he is top10 CW boxer.

    What an absolute toilet list. The Fury's inclusions are laughable - Hughie having boxed Parker, Pulev and Povetkin in consecutive years and I'm not even taking you on with Tyson. Outside of Dubois, Joyce, Yarde & Buasti I would say there's an argument on every single one of the other names.

    Really, bar Fury’s, AJ, Whyte and Taylor, pretty much all the rest.

    Buatsi the most glaring one. Lack of learning fights will hinder him when he fights at a higher level. Competition makes you stronger, not just being fed cans and have Adam Smith wax lyrical about you

    yeah. From another perspective, very easy fights with opponents like he had till today helps a lot to rack up number of wins via stoppage.
    He also looked very impressive against these mhmm, opponents he had.
