    Josh Taylor closely followed by Tyson Fury. Then AJ. Probably Okolie after that. Maybe Billy Joe next.

    He does not have WBC title and last boxer he had beated was Pulev, long years ago already beated up by old aging Wlad.
    A.J marquee fights sadly had been with 38+ boxers.

    He should prove himself with young boxers, like even Parker II fight, Ruiz III, maybe Wilder 2 fights and Fury 2 fights too + Usyk 2 fights.
    If he will beat these, this will be proof that he is very good and special.

    Ohh, I think today Fury, Chisora, White, A.J are far more experienced than Okolie.
    If Okolie had beated for example Makabu (not this ring rusty post covid Glowacki coming out of stoppage loss vs Briedis and already had been outpointed by Usyk plus scrapped win vs Vlasov via dirtyboxe.) I had rated him higher.

    Don't forget about Kash Farooq and Lee McGregor. Farooq is the more talented and natural boxer, but McGregor carries more power - two top quality fighters, both from Scotland too.

    Good shout! McGregor looked VERY exciting last time out, and although not a MASSIVE step up, Guerfi was still a step up.

    I thought Farooq took their clash (115:113), suspect they will rematch at some point in the not too distant future, and that will be a cracker!
