    I know Filip showed a hell of a chin last night, but jeez, he is so upright and easy to hit.

    IMO a guy like Jalalov is a better prospect. Apart from being a southpaw, his movement appears to be more fluid.

    you don't see a future champ in Jalalov? At least a belt holder? A 6'7 southpaw who can move and has a big left hand?

    Not really. I don't think his power is all that impressive, nor is his skill set. He's just a big southpaw Heavyweight, which that alone.... sadly in this overrated division, is enough to get you far, just like it's helped Charles Martin, Otto Wallin, Zhilei Zhang and Luis Ortiz. The only true elite southpaw at Heavyweight is Usyk.

    I don’t see anything special in Jalalov.

    I think the dude can punch. Fair enough though. I do not believe Jalalov is elite yet. But give it 2-3 years. IMO he will make some noise in the division.

    I'd like to see if he'd take the punches Zhang put on Hrgovic. Doubt it myself somehow.

    According to everything we have seen so far, Jalolov is better than Hrgovic and he will be better in the future as well, this is Hrgovic's maximum, not that he hasn't progressed since his amateur days, he stagnated and started to decline...
