    Who’s the best fighter he could’ve beaten during his pre-Helenius hype train? Who could he at the very least trouble?

    I think he probably reached his peak by scraping past Charles Martin. He was protected pretty well by the PBC until the Helenius fight of course.

    Kownacki was always a massive KO waiting to happen to him, he was a poor man's version of Joe Joyce.

    I'd say his victories and losses pretty accurately reflect his ability.

    Of a previous era I think fights with guys like Alex Leapai, Travis Walker and Clifford Etienne would be a lot of fun
