    Jared Anderson is very fast and strong, and he's just 21 so he has time to improve.

    I like Anderson and respect that he stays busy. He has fought 8 times in 2020 and 2021, which is particularly impressive given the pandemic. Respect to his dedication.

    His people have a decision to make, though. He's probably capable of beating some past prime "name" fighters but has some bad habits they might want to iron out first. I wouldn't mind if he had one more very active year against low level opposition and then stepped it up in 2023.

    I keep getting proved right

    Even when I'm wrong I'm still right

    The correct answer is Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter Jr.

    He's an amiable easy going chap but pay close attention to the look in his eyes. There's a darkness there. A cold vacant soulless look of a man who is haunted by the ghosts of his time in the abyss. Trust me it will serve you well to step wide of men like this.

    1 Wilder
    2 Hunter

    Richard Torrez Jr looks good, but he may be too small.

    Wilder is taking hard fights he can't win and Hunter is fighting total scrubs. The situation of a few years ago has been reversed and made more extreme.

    I'd certainly love for Hunter to wake up and decide to do something with his career but those hopes are fading. As a smaller HW he's got a few years at most left and doesn't have anything meaningful scheduled.
