Needs more Ben Whittaker if you want me to take it seriously

I enjoyed the article and the prognostications.

Eric Raskin still seems to be sleeping on Kabayel. I'm curious why. Is his placement due to age in 5 years? I personally think he's showed far more against better competition than most of the guys above him on the list. Torrez looked like he'd be a better fit for cruiserweight or bridgerweight, personally, despite or perhaps because of his win over Vianello. And the crop of Olympians hasn't been stepping up in competition AND most have major defensive holes currently to boot. On that note, it's bizarre how they're moving (or not) Jalolov's career. You'd think a two time gold medalist would have stepped up and made a name for himself by now, instead of lingering in the fringe contender/prospect area for how long now?

Opetaia won`t do sh.it at hw, too small.

Huni, hard to say what he is.

Wardley is British level fighter.

Itauma...that is pure speculation.

Hughie Fury will be the P4P King at this point, so that you don't even have "Shades of Ali" in the top 10 makes the list pointless. Nash out - His Majesty

Watching Hughie Fury fight is THE most stressful thing since watching Lawrence Okolie fight.

I agree with you on Kabayel. He is the most proven fighter on that list at the moment.

I am also puzzled by how slowly they are NOT moving Jalolov. He should have fought someone we know by now. Maybe they know something we don't know. When I watched his fights on YouTube something does not look quite right about him. He looks undeveloped somehow. He definitely does not look like one of the Klitschko brothers. He is only throwing his left hand repeatedly and nothing else. He is totally relaying on his height and reach and has not developed any other aspects of his game.

What, no Pulev?
I can't take this list seriously.
