Hunter is correct. Some things lok good with Buatsi, but some look footwork, balance look like he was boxing part time for way to long given his age/record. Can he learn and adapt or is this another Chisora/Whyte scenario where you wonder how the bleep can they be top 10 or get title shots whith such limitations. Evyerything seemed to bevthere to have ae contender, nor sure who managed him all this time. Buatsi reminds me of the Charlo's before they started to improve their craft a few 3 or 4 fights ago.

The problem Buatsi has is that the guys at the top of his division (Beterbiev and Bivol) are just too good. In a weaker division he could pick up a belt but I just don't see it happening at 175 while they're around.
I think he should content himself for now targeting the second tier light-heavies like Joe Smith and Gilberto Ramirez, or someone a bit faded with a name like Pascal or Badou Jack. Get a few more fights' worth of high level pro experience and see how the title landscape looks in a year or two. Hearn, however, seems keen on maneuvering him to a title shot sooner rather than later.
Shame Yarde's with Warren. That would be the perfect fight right now.billeau2 likes this.

Exactly like how you did with Callum Smith and Billy Jo Saunders, then after the fight called it a cherry pick
Or like how before Canelo was signed to fight Bivol, you said Bivol beats Canelo easily, then when the fight was signed all of a sudden its a cherry pick.
To the point you said if Bivol beats Canelo, you'll leave the forum. But yet you're still here
You are one of the biggest clowns that have ever been on this forum, and trust me, that takes some real doing.Last edited by IronDanHamza; 05-23-2022, 12:44 PM.

I, too, like Buatsi. Besides, he seems to be a very nice human being. I had high hopes on him at the beginning, but his progress has been limited unfortunately. After watching him being hit time and again by Bolotniks, I thought "this is the night he gets beaten" (by Richards, I mean). If anything, he showed guts in there.
