    Its good to see more and more people not buying hype jobs or anything. People really need to exercise more caution on here when potentially buying a hype job.

    Despite this, Sanchez just really isn't great at all and he's proven to really badly struggle against pressure fighters.

    It's frustrating how slow they're moving him

    I watched both Torres and Sanchez's fights, and I saw that Torres is nothing special, Sanchez is just better than him.

    Their fights are on YouTube, go ahead and watch them, you will notice this too.

    Wow I didn't realize Torrez would be the favourite on this forum. I personally think he is a bit one dimensional, doesn't have the size and too easily gets hit.

    If Sanchez has much left he should be able to take this clearly.

    Sanchez is top 10 when people are trying to hype up Kabayel...

    I mean when people are saying that Kabayel is the top contender, and the biggest challenge to Usyk etc, they make Sanchez as a top 10 fighter to justify their position.

    Then who else? Kabayel is interim champ. Parker is already mandatory. Ajagba pulled out against Sanchez. Dubois is coming off a loss and already fought Usyk twice. Joshua is coming off a loss and already fought Usyk twice. Hrgovic went the Adeleye route. Anderson is less proven than Torrez. Torrez vs Sanchez is a good fight off the rankings if the IBF wants to order an eliminator

    Ah i was still confused but now i got it. I am kind of backing kabayel's position (#1 or #2 contender in my opinion) but i would never put some of his opponents higher than i think they belong in order to push him. That's weak stuff. Fanboyism. Took me a while to understand what you meant

    Wasn't itauma supposed to be fighting for this great opportunity?
    Oh, he ducked it, I forgot.
    Turns out the opponent wasn't shot to hell.
