Just an observation...all the wild west heavyweight champs have 4-5 notable wins.

Yea old man Zhang. He should be held for beating up a senior lol. Seriously though, who else? Look at Dubois roster I think it beats kabayels that loss to Joyce not withstanding and his losses to Usyk are not part of the conversation

 

Kabayel beats them all and goes Undisputed if given the opportunity imo.

 

Dubois has the best resume for sure.

I think Kabayel is the best of the 3...mostly from the eye test and not showing many weaknesses. Just my opinion of course.

 

That’s a fair take, I’m sure we also said Itauma cleans up the division. We won’t know until the fights actually happen. Hoping for a unification tournament

 

Hrgovic beat zhang like ward beat kovalev in their first fight. Not. He was walking around the ring not knowing where he was at times, got dropped and his output was not high enough to warrant a point win with all those zhang moments. But as is often the case, history remembers the 'w'.
Apart from that, makhmudov, sanchez and zhang were all avoided when kabayel faced them. Like itauma will be less feared from now on, makhmudov is less feared now, even when makhmudov is two levels below. He troubled fury for a while and went the rounds when kabayel had already stopped him.

Dubois has the best resume on paper because he is english and gets the chances. Kabayel and hrgovic are at least equal to each other. Gassiev at heavy is not comparable.
