    I only had because of him beating Sillakh, and hadn't watched the video of it until making that post. If you had more room to expand the poll you could include the likes of him as well as more realistically Fabio Wardley or Hughie Fury (yes he's only 27) but it would just add bloat, ten is a good number and honestly all ten of the ones up there aren't of near equal worth. I'm surprised you bothered with Gorman tbh, I thought consensus was DDD has exposed him for a fraud.

    Gorman is alot better than Adeleye who would lose to every guy mentioned.

    Yeah idk who that even is. His record only has one name I recognize on it, Sokolowski. Before the Joyce vs. Takam undercard were any of his bouts even televised?

    No Hughie Fury on the list yet he has the most big fight experience out of all of them and one of the best chins in the division as well as his Dad being one of the top trainers.His style may not be fan friendly but he has to be worthy of a mention on the list .

    Has anyone heard anything about Richard Torrez? I'd think Arum would be very quick to sign him after the final against Jalolov who I voted for here.

    Hasn't made up his mind to debut yet, as there's still uncertainty whether pros will be allowed to compete in the next Olympics (Paris '24). He's still young and wants another crack at the gold.

    I don't like Hughie but he is better than at least half the guys on the poll, yeah.

    Gorman is still young. Besides, he's a crowd-pleasing aggressive fighter. I was considering replacing him with Fabio Wardley, but Gorman is a year younger and has already had more fights. Perhaps I should have included Hughie Fury, but he and his fights are easily forgettable.

    I don't know if it's just me but I don't see anything special in Jalalov.

    Thank you for compiling the list.

    I like Justis Huni, Vladyslav Sirenko.

    Will find out a lot about soon Ajagba against Sanchez.
    Anderson likes to keep his chin in the air and little head movement, but very good skills and feet.
    Jalalov is of the Vitali Klitschko mold. Upright and basic, but uses his height and 1-2's extremely well.

    I feel like every time we hear this stuff about a fighter being young enough to improve it never happens.
