    They'll probably feed him a couple of low level but durable guys to help him fix predicable punch selection and how to vary his power.

    Probably wise right now. In the nearish future he should take on Ajagba I think. Since they have a common opponent in Vianello. And Ajagba is an established name now.

    Andy ruiz would be a big name and might be a winnable fight at this stage.

    It would be a good fight to watch. Who is going to put down the money that Ruiz undoubtedly is going to demand though?

    Jared Anderson would be a fun fight. Both Top Rank boxers as well.

    I wouldn't put him against Ajagba or Anderson just yet if I was his manager. Let him fight every month and rack up a dozen wins over mid level journeyman and work on the basics some more. No need to rush.

    David Adeleye wouldn't be a bad opponent.

    Jakalov rematch would be interesting. Jalalov won in the amateurs but has done naff all in the pros.

    Agreed. I think he can beat him, he just needs to iron out his problems. Should be doable, I think.

    Ruiz, Ajagba, Anderson, Hunter, Whyte

    Someone like that, then he should be eligible for a final eliminator

    No way hype jobs like Torrez jr or Itauma ever fight Jalalov unless it is for a title.

    Ruiz, passing of the torch. He could beat Whyte. I also think his volume could be a problem for Hunter, Vianello is a bit underrated. Jermaine Franklin is also a good test

    Keep him away from ajagba and Jalolov, those 2 know how to handle smaller pressure fighters

    Anderson is the big USA showdown, no?

    Did you watch Jalalov's last fight? He's awful. He's a glass cannon with no stamina and no heart. As it stands, I think Torrez knocks him out, despite what their amateur fight says.
