    I'm not sure Fury's slipped quite that far yet - he's still #2 to Joshua.

    Not sure why the hate

    Bakole beats everyone Fury, Usyk & AJ (the current top 3) have beaten over the last numbers of years.... to list them:

    Nnganou
    Chisora
    Wallin
    J.Franklin
    Robert Helenius
    Witherspoon
    Dubious
    Whyte

    Bakole just needs activity and to learn a bit more spite when he has his man hurt. Also good chance he could get chinned off by someone like AJ who can crack but he'd make the distance against Fury & Usyk no problem...and would have a punchers chance against all 3.

    Bakole wasn't doing too bad in that fight before the arm injury.

    He nigh be very good, it’s hard to tell though because he is a once a year fighter. Very hard to make a run when when he fights so infrequently.

    I thought he was from the Congo like Um-bongo? He might currently live in Scotland but hes not British, he didnt emigrate

    Anyway, not sure how good he is, he has some decent names on his resume but they were all completely shot to **** by the time he got in the ring with them

    Are you getting sweet on Bakole? What would Fury say, this seems like a betrayal.

    Bakole is the human equivalent of a Kodiak bear and he's a real high risk low reward dangerman. In addition to his vast size, he hits extremely hard, has fast hands for his size, has a punishing very heavy jab, very good punch variety and selection, absolutely brutal combinations, and sickening body shots. And even though he was stopped by the Bounty Hunter, his chin seems sound too because it took a lot of big flush full power shots in quick succession to hurt him and few HWs would've been able to withstand and assault like that especially at that stage of the fight

    He's Congolese/Scottish now.

    Love to see bakole get a big fight.

    Give him a big fight so we can see.
