LMAOOOOO.......I have a better chance of winning the Powerball than Torrez has of winning this fight. If he dedicated himself to the sport completely following the Olympics, then possibly....

You must think more highly of Sanchez than I do.

Based on skills, size and pedigree, Sanchez should indeed beat him. Luigi reminds me of a smaller Jared Anderson.

I see basically no similarities between Torrez and Anderson, aside from youth.

He's a small heavyweight with the physique of a cruiserweight. Unless he has speed and power like a prime Tyson, he will eventually get pancaked just like Jared Anderson did.

Small heavyweights with high output and a gas tank are trouble for the big heavies. Again, I'm not saying Richard is gonna get a belt, but I think he's better than a lot of 2nd tier guys.

Name those second-tier guys. He won't beat either of the two Africans, Zhang, Okolie or even Michael Hunter.

Right now I think Torrez beats:

Sanchez
Ajagba
Hrgovic
Makhmudov
Chisora

I need to see more of him before I predict if he beats:

Okolie
Bakole
Zhang

Hunter hasn't fought in over a year and his last fight was against a nobody. So, I have no idea what he even looks like right now at 37. But, yeah, Torrez probably beats him.

He's not beating Ajagba, Sanchez or Hrgovic. Hunter has only ever lost to Usyk. I seriously doubt Luigi beats him at any age. At some point, The Little Engine wears done against the bigger engines.

Torrez only beat Vianello.. I am still not sure how good he is.

We'll agree to disagree.

Ajagba has power, but is very limited. And he doesn't have any inside fighting skills.

Hrgovic is slow and has stamina issues. Also, not a good inside fighter.

Sanchez we've already discussed.

"Hunter has only ever lost to Usyk." Yeah, but he also hasn't fought anybody. Drew with Povetkin 6 years ago and also drew with Jerry Forrest. He KO'd Bakole, but that was back in 2018. And he was pedestrian in his fight against Cassius Chaney a year and a half ago.

And what makes you think Ajagba and Hrgovic would allow Luigi to even get inside? You make many leaps of faith in reaching your conclusions.

Luigi is a very small heavyweight with short arms and a relatively small torso for a heavyweight. Unless he has the speed, agility and power of a prime Tyson, I really don't see him making a dent against any of the guys you named. Hell, I'm not even positive he beats Chisora or Whyte.
