The Bounty Hunter should fight Jared Anderson. That's an easy fight right there and big baby is becoming a known name. It would catapult Hunters career back into the running. Anderson is only Takam level at best, this would be the perfect opportunity for Mike
He needs to take chances, the division is pretty hot right now with some big paydays. No one knows how long it will last so he should get his name in the mix asap.
Hunter doesn't deserve a chance, he hasn't done anything for years, he just talks and wants easy money...
Anderson said he wants to retire young so unless he's got some promises from arum for opportunities after fury-usyk I don't think he's got years to wait
I don't think it should be his last chance, after watching two rounds of Artem Suslenkov the other day, I without hesitation picked him to beat Michael Hunter, and I've long been one of the biggest hypers of Hunter on here. I realized it was a trap that he was stepping into. There's some guys with 10 fights and they're brought in as sacrificial lambs and a nice shiny 0 for the big names to put on their records, then there's other guys who target big names when they're at 10 fights or less, because they have solid amateur careers and they know just how damned good they are. Artem was a hell of a puncher as an amateur, but most importantly he's got a tremendous and tremendously filthy inside game and is physically strong as an ox, which is usually Michael Hunter's strong suit. Therefore it would negate all of Michael's usual advantages. These brilliantly booked IBA shows have been showcase cards with Eastern Europeans feasting on name fighters since their inception, this one was no different. Their only misstep so far, which I also called, was putting Shavkat Rakhimov in with an absolute animal like Sugar Nunez. So I don't think Michael Hunter is done, and I'm all for Top Rank making the mistake of putting him in with Jared Anderson, because he'll maul that emotionally fragile mental midget six ways from Sunday, and KHTFO.
