    He would beat the bottom 4 and probably Parker at this stage.

    Don't exactly know Haye has left seeing he has had 2 very short fights against inept opponents.

    I really liked Brock, he went out on his shield against Klit. To bad injuries cut his career short, though I don't think his heart was in it anymore and it sounds like he is a guy who has found a career after boxing. He was in bad shape physically and mentally for the Chambers fight but arguably still won.

    Though he wasn't exceptional at anything, he was above average at most attributes. He needed something game changing to make up for his lack of physical size though, like he had an ok punch but nothing devastating (though that Lawrence KO was noice) and he wasn't especially fast.

    Will be interested to see how he trolls this one. My guess is it is Parker or Browne who he has his sights set on.

    You don't think he would give Parker, AJ and Whyte a good test considering they are still in the early stages of their careers?

    Brock would be competitive with everyone on the list, Manny was having hissy fits in the corner in his fight against Wlad, and that was Wlad at the beginning of his HW tear up....
