No not really, I think he's exciting though. Doesn't fight top opposition like he should. Lomachenko/Usyk/Kovalev do.
Who else below 175 could stop Martin murray? for example Golovkin just needs to touch you and your whole game plan is out of the window Golovkin also knocked kovalev out in sparring kovalev said he was the hardest puncher he fought their is a vid of that
Wilder has stopped NO ONE who anyone considers durable at the upper tiers. Fail. Don't cite Arreola or someone some other blancmange that either quit or was borderline senile or punch drunk from previous fights! Wilder doesn't even fight top 10 Hw's on the whole. How many top 10 Hws had Wilder legit stopped in the ring?
First.....Duradola is not cannon fodder by any means. He would have been a strong Champion in the 90s and 00s. He's simply coming along at the wrong time. But had he competed in the USS/Haye/Mormeck/Enzo era, he'd been the top dawg IMO. Getting stopped on his feet to Duradola is not getting starched. Was ANYONE particularly high on Troyanovsky???? His conquests over Cuenca are pathetic. It's like modern day Germany conquering Liechtenstein. Are these even nations still? LMAO His defense against Obarra was just as sad considering Obarras claims to fame is a draw with the serviceable but career opponent Castillo. Indongo was only fighting Troyanovsky b/c Crawford wanted no part of a guy we'd never heard of and had nothing to on his CV to change that outside his WBO exploits in the 3rd world. Hell, Bob Arum probably still wouldnt ask HBO to approve him, inspite of his winning the pathetic IBF LWW title.....I say pathetic because it's been in limbo, tossed like a hot potato, fought for by nobodies ever since the IBF refused to allow Mathysee to take it from Peterson, way back in the good old days when the division actually had some talent. As for Usyk being next??? Not likely, and K2 has a lot of nerve qualifying Mchunu as a defense for Usyk. Huck, Wlod, Gevor, Breidis or even Duradola would have been more appropriate title defenses IMO. But I guess Mchunu gets the call b/c he has been known to aid in K2 preparations for fights and is still considered a top level opponent riding his shutout of Eddie Chambers way back when. This fight is 2 CPers with great power and defense. One with a speed advantage, Mchunu, the other with a massive edge in size, skills, and reach in Usyk. Expect Usyk to play it safe and avoid Mchunu's sharp counters from the crouch using the straight L hand to the body and counter R hooks whenever Mchunu dares to come up from the rabbit hole. Mchunus got a pretty solid beard, moreso than Glowacki, and doesnt take the types of risks Glowacki does either.....I expect this one to reach the scorecards unless Mchunu's corner decides different and pulls him down 6-0 or worse.
