    Kudryashov might as well move up to heavy and go down the WBA route.

    Hell, maybe Khan should, too.

    thats Usyk's plan in the near future. He said he wants Joshua. After he wins the WSSB tournament he should move to HW

    Diamond Boy shocked the world. You all said he'd never become HW champion and he proved you all wrong. No sweeter taste than the taste of vindication :D

    cool story for charr to tell his kids and grandkids someday I suppose. weather we like it or not he will always go down in history with heavyweight champion next to his name.. that said I don't think hes top 20 or even top 30... and a lot of prospects coming up would beat him... Would take Filip,joyce,kuzmin,dyanko,telesanko,simon kean, over him.

    Very close to what I think. I'd just take out Kean's name and add Kownacki.

    I'd say he's easily as good as Chisora, Hammer, Breazeale, Whyte et al: a solid top fifteen/top twenty fighter who'll never quite crack the top echelons but can nonetheless provide a stiff challenge for anyone outside of that. His main problems seem to be that he's just really inconsistent and fights to the level of his opponents. He looked genuinely explosive and dangerous in the Ustinov fight and rocked Ustinov worse than I've ever seen him rocked, yet only a few fights before he looked like a complete featherfist against guys like Seferi and Leapai. I've never seen anyone display such variance in their performances.

    Maybe he's just finally starting to take his career seriously, in which case we could be in for some quite tasty fights. I'd love to see how he does against Chisora or Whyte for instance, and don't consider those mismatches at all.

    Manuel ''The Miracle Man'' Charr

    'The win for Beirut-born Charr, who arrived in Germany as a five-year-old, completes his remarkable comeback from two setbacks which would have ended the careers of a less-determined boxer.

    In September 2015, he was left fighting for his life after being shot in the stomach following an altercation at a kebab restaurant in Essen.

    Charr returned to the ring just seven months later, bearing the scars of the attack on his abdomen.

    Then came another setback earlier this year when both hips had to be replaced.

    "In the last two years, I have experienced everything that one possibly can," said Charr.

    "From being shot to having two new hips, but I gritted my teeth. The doctors told me, it is a medical miracle."

    Yeah, I couldn't believe when I read that. Whatever you think of him as a fighter you really have to respect perseverance like that.

    They're all solid mid-tier guys, not world beaters but not total no-hopers either. Every division needs men like these to give it depth.

    The only people that have ever destroyed Charr are top class fighters. Chisora couldn't destroy Kabayel, a very average looking opponent. Whyte couldn't destroy Helenius, or Ian Lewison, or Dave Allen, a walking punchbag. Breazeale could potentially stop him if Charr fights like an idiot and gasses himself out like Mansour and Ugonoh. Otherwise, what the hell is the slow as molasses Breazeale going to do against the watertight defence of Charr?

    Charr's clearly better than people want to give him credit for. Ustinov was supposed to destroy him and ended up getting driven back, rocked and dropped hard. None of those guys is a cut above that.
