One thing I can't help but think looking at some of the names I doubt half of some of those mentioned make it. One or two decent wins I don't think wins it, looking at previous winners gotta have a slew of them throughout the Decade, so a couple guys I don't think even gets considered unless they really go crazy the next 4 years like Kova, or any of the WWs besides Garcia, GGG, Ward, and a few others.
Wards inactivity probably kills it for him, he'd have to completely clean out LHW, and the top SMWs coming up. Kovalev,Stevenson, Degale-Jack winner, Ramirez, Berterbiev etc.. Don't think he gets it done.
