    Amir is a decent shout.

    The thing is, if it were left to Khan himself, he would probably fight anyone in the 147 division (and get beat by several..but he would fight them).

    Khan's "Advisors" are an utter disgrace!!

    There are several fighters more protected than those two Freddie mate (Wilder and Khan leap to mind, and you could easily throw Quigg and Frampton in there too).

    But I do agree, Fast Eddie likes to squeeze every penny out of a fighters reign (Exhibit A: Scott Quigg). But I'll reserve judgement on Kell..for now (mainly because i'm a fan of his and he tried to make the Khan fight).

    As for Thurman, i'm not sure. This coming year will tell us more and as such i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (for now).

    Joshua, first decent fighter he faces could be a Tony Thompson moment for him.

    He's 33.

    K2 can't risk him spending 6 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.

    As for the OP.....

    Gotta believe it's Stevenson.

    Almost 3 yrs as a TITLIST and he's been pulled out of negotiating the Kovalev, Pascal, BHOP and hasn't fought a single undefeated top 20 in his career.

    Wilder, Garcia, Brähmer

    Dunno whether Stevenson is really protected or his team isn't competent enough to finalize negotiations for a good bout (f.e. against Pascal, BHop...)

    3 guys come to mind. Wilder, Brook and Braehmer.

    All title holders while having about 1 win over a world class opponent.

    At least Brook seems to be trying now. The others, meh.

    He beat the #1 guy in the division in his FIRST real fight at 175.

    How protected is he?

    If Duva would allow the purse bid, we'd be getting ready for the Kova fight already
