    Who takes this one? Arslanbek is 32 and it seems like there's no plans for him to fight a top contender anytime soon. Would Helenius be too much for him?

    Makhmudov. Helenius would run after of gas and he'll get KOed in 5th.

    Makhmudov has fought literally no body.

    Gonna go for Sugar Helenius on this one. Way more experienced, fought some well ranked fighters and has looked at his best recently.

    However, on a more personal note - i'd fancy myself to smash the pair of them to bits, i'd be way too much for them.

    Big fan of Hellboy but the Mak Man mercs him with his brutal uppercuts and chopping right hands.

    Mak in a good fight. Helenius would get some early rounds but he'd be stopped in rounds 5-8.

    I don't really get why some are hyping Makhmudov, he looks awfully crude to me but he has youth and power and I think the wins over Kownacki say more about how bad Kownacki is than how good current Helenius is, so I'm favouring Makhmudov.

    Obviously this fight won't be happening. Makhmudov is seemingly going nowhere and lacks the promotional backing to get any significant fights any time soon and Helenius having won a WBA eliminator vs Kownacki maybe in line for a shot at the Joshua/Usyk2 winner based on some reports recently.
