    So how good is Justis Huni? Since The Ring got him ranked #10.

    He’s a really good boxer still lacking in power. If he finds a way to get his opposition out of there then he’ll be very dangerous but in my opinion he’s going to get found out at some point if he is forced to keep fighting into the later rounds against the better guys.

    He has time on his side and is as skilled as anybody out there but that lack of real offensive weaponry is starting to become a worry for me.

    Good enough that Frank Sanchez wouldn't get in the ring with him after one sparring session.

    He delivered a good stoppage last time out given the opponent wasn't the greatest but he seems to be improving and like you said he has time on his side.

    I think hes a solid contender at best, but I'm not confident in Huni's chances at all against the likes of Dubois, AJ, Fury and Usyk.

    In my humble opinion, Ring's rating is a bit premature. I believe Huni is a Top 10 talent, but I don't think he's there yet (both in terms of resume and in terms of growing into a more complete boxer).

    When I was watching his highlights he looks very strong and explosive. But his record shows 10 wins with only 5 knockouts.

    Usually guys that go all the way to the top knock almost everyone out in their first 10 fights. That’s not always the case but it’s definitely a general rule.

    Maybe he has been fighting very good competition?

    I really don’t see how The Ring can put him at #10. I don’t think he is ready for anyone in the Top 10 either.

    His best opponent date was probably Kevin Lerena, who managed to drop Dubois 3 times. He also faced Tabiti, but the rest of his opposition was mostly lacking in experience.

    I'm hoping he steps up from the Troy Pilcher level next time out.

    If he could fight his way into the idiotic WBA rankings he could take on Pulev, assuming he beats Charr. That'd be a decent gauge.
