6 Vincent Feigenbutz GER
7 Willie Monroe, Jr. USA

13 Lerrone Richards (WBO International) GB
14 Stefan Haertel GER

Would love to see Braehmer get the shot, but I think it'll be Chudinov.
The WBO always has these strange weak rankings. Those are not the 15 best contenders at 168. Most of them are almost unknown unless you are a boxing fanatic.
Anyone in that top 15 will get us all excited i think we'll agree. But not as exciting as Eubank 2.Its like a new golden age, like the fantastic 4 of the 80s middleweights, but obviously better..
I’ll guess Chudinov
He’s already beaten Monroe and he’s the only American there
Chudinov and Braehmer are the names boxing fans will most recognise and Braehmer seems tied up.
Braehmer already has an EBU title shot against Stefan Haertel, Angulo against Salamov lined up so it'll most likely be Murdock, Chudinov, Feigenbutz or Bazinyan.
Thanks for the heads up, didnt know about the Braehmer EBU shot.
