    Both haven't done anything at heavyweight yet but assuming Jalolov and Opetaia have heavyweight champion ambitions how do you see this fight playing out ?

    Too early to say, but I think Jalolov is defo big and skilled enough to beat Jai. I can see Jalolov getting a HW belt in a few years time when the big dogs retire.

    Jai is very good but I don't think he will have as much success as Usyk has had in HW. Like, Usyk ATM is such a clear number 1 in a IMO solid generation of HWs. Defo not as good as 70s or 90s though no doubt.

    I'm not confident too in Jai's chances against Dubois. Nor Fury either but I'd be shocked if they fought as Fury only has a couple fights left in his career IMO.

    Off topic but curious to hear who you would back between prime DDD and prime Haye.

    Haye because of movement and he will be landing counter shots at will easy pick, Dubois jab will be useless against lateral movement

    I need to see a little more of Jalolov.

    Let him fight someone ranked and then I'll give my opinion.
