    I'd love if it was Makhmudov but it's not. Yoka is what I'm hearing but I think it's Dubois.

    I've always liked Carlos Takam because (unlike the prima donnas like Joseph Parker and Michael Hunter), he's never avoided anyone.

    He'll fight anyone, anywhere, any time.

    Should be Dubois really. Would be a good test for him.

    Takam [url]avoided[/url] Ortiz after agreeing to fight him and agreed to fight Duhaupas instead. Then the Duhaupas fight fell through and Duhaupas fought Povetkin on one day's notice, having flown in to watch the fights in Russia.

    I think it's gonna be Bakole. Billy Nelson said Bakole has a fight coming up in September and Takam called Yoka and Bakole out last month. Don't see Yoka returning within 4 months after taking a beating.

    The guy is 41, if he faces anyone decent he is getting beatdown.

    Takam gave an undefeated Parker a very tough fight, was robbed against Perez, upset Tony Thompson, HW FOTY with Povetkin where he gave a good account of himself - Hung in there with Joshua and was starting to have a bit of success before the ref stepped in to allow Joshua to have a breather, was shutting out and beating the **** out of Chisora before getting caught, bounced back from that with a hard fought win against the underrated Jerry Forest, gave Joyce some hard rounds(I had him ahead at the time of the stoppage) Takam has had a small contingency of cult followers on here for a long time, and I hope with time he goes on to become more appreciated. If even 25% of top heavyweights had the same mentality as Takam the division would be looked at very differently. The HW Glen Johnson is nearly impossible to hate.

    Takam would be a very impressive win for Bakole or Dubois.

    I don't know that I'd back either of them to do it, would be a very tough fight as neither of them are used to fighting someone with the real power necessary to back them up.

    Source ?
    I'm French and I can't find anything. He just said in an interview a month or two ago that he wanted to face Yoka or Bakole.

    Takam is past it. Dont want to see him in with any huge puncher IMO. He will get hurt bad at his age.

    Takam is very brave, he fought heavy handed champions AJ, Joyce, Povetkin, Chisora, Parker, Thompson.

    "Hung in there with Joshua and was starting to have a bit of success before the ref stepped in to allow Joshua to have a breather," Absolutely correct, plus he took the fight at 2 weeks notice...poor Eddis nearly shat himself & tugged the refs trousers...
