Don't worry, someone decent'll make his pro debut soon (God willing).

I reckon Okolie beats Fisher and Adelaye. Okolie vs Wardley would be a great fight - either Okolie out boxes Warfdey or he gets goomed. Itauma smashes Fisher and Adelaye. I believe he beats the other two now. But likely he won't fight them next. He's only going to get better so by the time he does fight them he smashes them all. I'm not the poster Smash.

Do you thing he'll be the new American HW hope?

That all sounds reasonable to me, based on what I've seen from each of those fighters.

I was expecting Delicious Orie to knock out his opponent the other day but he didn't, obviously. Too green to make the author's list, and maybe won't get very far as a pro if he can't hurt no-hopers.

Sheeeeeeet, whoever he is he'll be better than Jared Anderson!!

But nah there was truth in my jest because honestly, Okolie & Dubois are the best we've got right now & they're good but (wild boar bollocks aside) imho we just had a phenomenon retire & none of these are gonna replace him.

I love the love being showered on Posh Fabio but Mr Wardley came from white collar boxing & is already a YUUUGE overachiever so nah, he ain't saying sheeeeet either.

Fisher
Okole
Okole
Wardley beats all of them I think

And yeah I'd pick Itauma over all of them.

Of all of them Itauma is the only one who's possibly world class, although we don't know nearly enough about him to make that call yet, the rest of them are not world class fighters, it's a lean time in British Boxing.

Lean time?
Please, name all of the contenders from your country.
Besides, Fisher is not a contender & was given a gift against the retired Allen.
