    What do you think Vladimir Shishkin can still do in the Super Middleweight ?

    What's the next for him ? Maybe a rematch in Germany against William Scull ??

    He deserves a fight against Clenelo which was stolen from him.

    Move up, he has no shot at 168 so 175 while potential more dangerous is unexplored and the talent pool at 175 isn't strong beyond the top 4

    Not really, I rewatched the fight against William Scull and I have 115-113 for the Cuban. There's no robbery, even as a Shishkin fan.

    I think it's too much risks for him to move at Light Heavyweight and not sure with the old Bivol that he will have another world chance there ??

    No, that was a robbery - I scored it wide for Shishkin, as did others in the RBR thread.

    175 is much stronger than 168

    Beterbiev, Bivol, Benavidez, Khataev, Dzambekov, C Smith, Kaladjzic, Morrell, Ataev, Kraus, N Lopez, Izmailov, A, Lopez, Gvozdyk, Yarde

    Or

    past it Alvarez, M'billi, Iglesias, Sheeraz, Berlanga, Resendiz, Pacheco, Munguia lol

    It's just the name bias. Kovalev got KO'd by Canelo. Beterbiev is in his 40s. Gvozdyk is shot. Morrell is overrated as hell. Kaladjzic claim to fame is giving Beterbiev and Morrell problems. Yarde was always a hard hitting gatekeeper. The rest of them could he promising but nothing definitive. Iglesias is the most talented prospect, at the very least I'd pick him to smash Morrell to pieces, after he gets some belts he'll probably go to 175 anyway. I think Arlen Lopez is going to be one of those amateurs that can't compete in the pros, Najee Lopez is way better but he's draining himself to near death he'll move up soon

    Bivol is planning on moving up soon

    There are a couple interesting names though, Benavidez, Smith and Morrell, both of them moved up from 168. Guys at 160 will move up to 168 and strengthen the division. Janibek will move up, he's a monster and could probably compete at 175.
