Fair point mate, definitely has improved his standing a lot, how do you think he does against the likes of Prograis and Taylor?
Would favor Taylor and Prograis over Hooker, I think...But wouldn't rule out Hooker entirely given the way he performed this year. At the very least, we know he can keep his cool in adverse situations.
Has to be Usyk. On a British level (because I'm British) probably Josh Warrington, beat Lee Selby to win his world title and beat Carl Frampton in his first defence and was the underdog in both fights.
Any of these three. Inoue/Warrington/Usyk Loved watching them,all the 3 have been outstanding in 2018.
