    They think they would have a somewhat better chance in this division...

    I don’t know, I’ll ask them and let you know what they say if they get back.

    Botha TBH would've been top 10-15ish, Savarese would've had the same luck he actually had.

    Depends if they are nostalgic boomers or just regular people enjoying boxing. If the former then: "In my days, Usyk would get crushed in 3 rounds by every Top 10 guy, me included", if the latter "damn, that's an interesting division we have now!".

    Why would they say damn though? It’s not that good. It’s quite good in my opinion although only Usyk is top drawer

    I think it has been quite entertaining overall. What do you think Lou Savarese would say? Bear in mind he is 6 foot 6 and a huge brave guy.

    I just commented on their Instagram posts, neither have gotten back so far, I might have to Instagram video call them.

    Well considering the WBA ratings,, from 5 to 10 they are:
    Miller
    Pero
    Bakole
    Hrgovic
    Hysa
    Charr
    I'd say Savarese and the white Buffalo would do really well

    They wish they were young and competing again.
