I like that idea. I don`t believe they are both top contender material. Time to find out who is better.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Even with the stoppage Yoka looked pretty ordinary against a relatively unknown cruiserweight.

He hits hard, and stuck to a fundamental game plan, but looked stiff for most of the bout, and his lack of head movement is a left hook KO waiting to happen.

This kids been wallowing in the tomato can zone for too long and needs to step up soon.

That is why these guys are prospects.

If you beat Chisora or Whyte, you are contender material.

[Bain01D]

Junior Fa could be an interesting opponent?

Alan Babic would be intriguing

Fabio Wardly maybe?

Yoka hasn’t lived up to his amateur hype so far but has potential, he could go either way

True, I'll give you that, but the level of competition he's built up 10-0 is clearly sub par, especially winning a vacant belt against a puffed up cruiser, and it doesn't match the hype that surrounds him.

To me he just seems more like a gifted athlete than a pure boxer that lives, eats & sleeps it. I may be wrong and he may get his footwork, head movement together and not look so stiff, but I'm not sold.

Yoka only has 10 fights ,why does he need to step up soon ,who is he chasing ? His fights suggest he may not want to step up yet for reasons you already said so it doesn’t make sense ,clearly he’s not ready take a dangerous fight . Yoka actually has one of the more impressive resumes for 10 fights and then you guys complain about vacant belts as though he should turn it down ? Ha

You guys know boxers still learn their craft well within where he’s at now and you complain as though you can point out to all the great 10 fight records . More made up stuff on here ,you guys know it’s a rarity to even get a title shot before your 25th fight .

You try too hard.

All that babble and you can't even come to grips with the fact that he's an overhyped overprotected untested prospect that needs to step up, even though he still looks underwhelming against the sad level of competition we have to sit thru now.

Leon Spinks beat Ali for the belt in his 8th fight, Loma was doing that in his 1st, 2nd, & 3rd bouts, instead you try to justify having to wade thru 25 or more fights against bums before protected fighters step up? It's unaware fans like you that give the promoters free reign to shower us with garbage fight cards, less than competitive matchups, and Euro heroes that melt down when they cross the pond.

Time to step up, Top rank has many heavyweights for Yoka: Kabayel, Takam, Ajagba, Pulev.

Nobodies overhyping Yoka . You can’t over protect anyone under 11 fights , more proof you haven’t been watching boxing very long .

Ali was well past his best days , if he was a modern day boxer he wouldn’t pass a medical examination . They would see he was suffering from some type of brain trauma . Whatever anyone else does is irrelevant to Yoka , no heavyweight has ever taken on a prime top guy former champion in 10 fights in the heavyweight class , just more proof you are lost on how things operate in the sport , not to mention a fighters prime nowadays is much older in the heavyweight class ,if you kept up with current eras you would also know this .

Everybody is overhyping Yoka.

... and like I said, it's fans like you that are willing to accept fighters fluffing up their unbeaten records with subpar competition. You're the reason we get fed these shyt matchups, you don't know any better, and the same reason it's hard to watch a lot of the fights out of Europe.
