    Yep.

    In fairness to the OP, he did include Wilder even though he's a fan.

    Canelo should step up, his 2016 was pathetic.

    Other than the insults the list was pretty good.

    My list would be:
    GGG- he's finally getting a good name on his resume if he can get one or two more then I can have no complaints.

    Wilder- coming off a big injury but really needs to step it up it's getting ridiculous he's approaching 40 fights.

    Andrade- this guy just sits around bitching rather than being active and getting into mandatory positions so the top guys have no choice but to fight him.

    Lara- I hear he might be fighting Andrade after this pointless Foreman fight, he has been in pointless fights ever since the controversial Canelo loss.

    Eubank- I've lost hope in this guy his a lost cause at this point.

    Canelo- tiptoeing around GGG, his gunna probably fight a walking dead zombie in this Chavez jr fight at 165. If not GGG fight Saunders or Andrade.

    Saunders- he's gunna wind up getting knocked by a bum if he doesn't get active I hope they strip this guy, his been holding that WBO belt hostage.

    Rigo- I know he's been ducked mercilessly but you gotta fight someone even if it's not a top 5 guy at least top 10, if not move up and take on some bigger challenges.

    Stevenson- I can't believe this guy still had the WBC belt you see Ward and Kovalev mixing up whilst he takes on the likes of Alvarez and Williams, it's a joke.
