    About how I see him. Can bounce back into the top ten again. Will need to avoid the punchers.

    Kownacki is not in the Top 30, Hrgovic would knock him out probably in the first round, maximum in 3 rounds. Same case with D.D, Ajagba, but also 55.Makhmudov or 159. Jalolov and many others

    My thoughts exactly watching that fight against Helenius.

    Kownacki is a fearless fighter who walks down his opponents with minimal head movement. The dangerous nature of this finally caught up to him and this loss in front of his home crowd is probably the best thing to happen to him right now in his career. I think he was looking past Helenius believing that he had the total advantage with the overwhelming majority of the crowd on his side. He does need to learn to move his head behind the jab and rotate the shoulders more.

    It has been a really long time since watching a fight with a few people who found it laughable. If you had walked passed the apartment I watched this a few days ago at, you'd thought we were watching Dave Chapelle or Eddies My name is Dolemite.

    His boyish face meshed with his mushy midsection and to watch Helenious just eat punches like Kownacki's fist was a thermometer taking his temperature..practically opening his mouth and saying awww....then comes back to stop him...damn! :risas3:

    well I can't duplicate their jokes, but I left with hurt jaws from non-stop laughter.

    In terms of ability probably not, but he had some name wins which got him into most people top 20, it doesn't take that much to do that.

    All the guys you named would probably beat him and I don't even rate Ajagba that highly, think he'll be the next PBC heavy to pick up a loss against an unheralded opponent, that is of course if he fights anyone with a pulse.

    I put Ajagba on the list because he's strong as a bull and he hits hard. He's the worst fighter of these technically . For Kownacki are dangerous all who can hit hard because he is totaly open.

    Any time a guy comes in out of shape and slow, and gets sparked, he’s going to catch some **** from the fans. In fairness, it’s not his fault people overrated him. If he came into the fight in great shape and still lost, I bet he’d get less crap from the fans. No shame in losing but it’s how you lose. He’s a glorified club fighter.

    Some people will kick a guy when hes down. Just because.

    Others don't like manufactured fighters who were overhyped.
