    Fornling is a hungry young Swedish lion

    IBF rankings

    1. NOT RATED
    2. NOT RATED
    3. Dominic Bosel
    4. Sven Fornling <<< hungry young Swedish lion
    5. Anthony Yarde <<< already turned AB down
    6. Adam Deines
    7. Umar Salamov
    8. Meng Fanlong
    9. Karo Murat <<< lost to Fornling
    10. Enrico Koelling <<< AB already beat him
    11. Sullivan Barrera
    12. Joshua Buatsi <<< too early wouldn't take the fight yet
    13. Michael Lee
    14. Felix Valera
    15. Callum Johnson <<< AB already beat him

    Barrera would obviously be the best option out of that bunch but their teams can't seem to see eye to eye at the negotiating table and how many of the others are willing to step in there with AB?

    People want to see the Four Kings going after each other. Any other opponent seems like a let down and a waste of time, which neither Sergey nor Arthur have on their hands

    I do too and hopefully Streamroller vs Krusher happens next and if not next then directly after this one. They both want it and obviously they have history so it's a really sexy match up.

    Well, it's not necessarily so. I'm eager to see Gvozdyk fight Marcus Browne, for example. Kovalev vs. Gilberto Ramirez or Callum Smith should be an interesting fight as well.
    Or maybe even Yarde vs. any of the champions (not that it's going to happen in real life, though :smile:).

    I used to have such high hopes for Beterbiev. But, inactivity, and pointless mismatches like this have effectively ruined his prime.
