    He will be in attendance to scout his next 3 opponents. The winner of Joshua vs Franklin, Joyce vs Zhang and Fury vs Uysk. Because hes knocking them all out.

    Joshua won't fight him in the next 2 years since he has no belts, he would loose against Fury and Usyk, but Joyce would take it, would be an interesting fight eoth some suprises I guess

    This guy has nothing for Fury or Usyk. I would like to see him in with the Joyce/Zhang winner, but they should be getting a title shot next or an AJ fight at the very least.

    Makhmudov barely got past 41 y.o. Takam.

    His chances against Fury or Usyk are non-existent

    Makhmudov hasn't impressed me yet. He was wobbled against Takam.

    If I was Makh I'd call out Chisora.

    Is that the same Makhmudov that had issues with a 5'2" French bodybuilder who started his boxing career during the French Revolution? He beats Franklin & that's about it. Also, his head movement consists of snapping his own neck.

    Makh barely scraped by a gate keeper in Takam, he hasn't earned a shot against any of those guys that win those fights. Maybe he could get a fight with Franklin or Zhang if they lose their fights but he's kidding himself if he thinks the others would seriously consider him as a next opponent. Cameo's at other fighters fights won't grow his profile or put pressure on these top guys to face him, beating good opposition will.

    Big Mak is unusual

    He knocked Takam down in the first 30 seconds and then struggled to figure out what backfoot Takam was trying to do. He's fallen in love with his power and abandoned ring craft.

    He is also 33. I know HW careers generally go on a bit longer, but when you account for how slowly the HW division moves, it could be at least 2 years before he has any fights at the top level.

    Fury 34, Joshua 33, Wilder 37, Usyk 36 and Joyce 37. Same sort of age bracket and it'll take a long time for there to be much movement at the top of the division.

    Good analysis, I thought the same thing. He needs to work behind his jab and keep his chin tucked until in range. Even with his obvious faults he's seriously dangerous
