    Let's see him get past Breazeale before we rate him.
    And if he can't get past Breazeale he's not much of a prospect at all.

    He looks good but against limited opposition so far.

    And to those saying he's not Polish, that logic would mean most top British,and German fighters aren't British or German

    I've never considered Huck, Abraham or Sturm truly German, so I have no problem with that line of thinking.

    And they aren't.

    Saying ****ing Badou is a Swede is ******ed.

    The absolute most you can say for these guys is they're "Nigerian British," or some bull****.

    Izu is not Polish, at best he's Nigerian Polish. Which is wholly different.

    Take African Americans an example. African American culture is wholly distinct from White American culture. They're not at all synonymous or interchangeable. It's undeniable they're distinct.

    But then Nigerian Polish is still Polish right? Like African American is still American?

    No. African American culture has been a part of the US since the US was founded. It's intrinsically part of the US.

    Nigerian Polish is completely distinct from Polish culture, and has no claim to being a genuine part of Polish culture.

    Izu is little more than a Nigerian immigrant, raised by Nigerians.

    Duradola has an awesome chin dude. Took Kudryashov's best shots without blinking.

    At least most of them were born there, unlike all the Germans I listed. Chisora and Hide should have asterisked names though.

    Houmzz left out the little fact that Durodola fought Muralimov at HW, he has a great chin at Cruiser, HW was a bridge too far.

    I was more comparing then to Igonoh.
    If Joshua is British, then Igonoh is Polish.
    He seems to be proud of his Polish identity.
    Of course he may also identity as Nigerian or whatever he pleases.

    Just looked up Muralimov. Dude looks and fights like an Asian version of Tony Galento. I'm not surprised Duradola was KOed by that fcuker.

    The level of borderline right wing ignorance in this thread is quite astonishing.

    If he was born & raised in Poland & chooses to represent them, then surely he is Polish.
