Except for Usyk, the heavyweight division has now completely turned over.

    Jared Anderson isn’t a contender mate, he was poleaxed by Bakole.

    If we are talking about him then we should start mentioning the likes of Bakole, Hrgovic, Adeleye. All three are higher up than him.

    Joseph Parker is the youngest of the old guard. Same age as the youngest of the new. But with vastly more miles. No great problem here.

    Anderson is garbage and will never be a contender, imo.

    Justis Huni is 26 and you would not find many people who would back Anderson to beat him in a fair fight.

    Huni is 12-1 and got dropped into an interim title fight out of nowhere as did Wardley. They really aren't near the front of the line otherwise.

    The point is that Huni is slightly above Anderson, does not deserve a mention. If you look at Bakole's career, if you are getting iced by him you are not in the conversation as a potential elite HW.

    I thought Bakole was and I quote others "the next George Foreman"?
