    Yes it would... Legitimate top 10 CW, would be excellent to have another in the tournament.

    Apparently a fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is in the works.

    Unfortunately Joshua/Klitschko will probably be the only good HW fight we get this year..... Back to watching prospects be build and contenders trying to stay busy I guess.

    On that matter... What are some REALISTIC fights you want to see involving any given fighter? Also list fantasy fights you'd like to see involving them.

    Carlos Takam

    Realistic: Showdown with Duhaupas. Was supposed to happen but Duhaupas decided to fight Povetkin on 24 hours notice while in training and paid the price. Has since fought a journeyman and is set to fight in September in Finland against TBA(rematch with Helenius?) I think this one is very likely to happen at some point because there's unfinished business between them and neither has ever been known as a duck.

    Fantasy: A clash with Pulev would be great, but I doubt we'll see Kubrat in with anyone live until he cashes out with AJ. Would personally make Takam a slight favorite here...

    A fight with Chisora would also be cool... Delboy gets completely worked.

    Ultimate fantasy fight involving Takam? Wilder. I think on his best night he has the tools to pull the massive upset.

    I think this will mirror the Wilder fight in many ways.... Washington will start out well and bank most of the early rounds but Miller will want it more and come on strong later to secure the stoppage.

    Malcom Tann this Friday 6/23/17 is a decent matchup. Tann looking to expose another prospect. I suppose he's sort of a gatekeeper that had a long layoff after 2 bad losses. Meager pickings at heavyweight right now, this at least has potential to be decent.
