gavern a solid C+ journeyman who couldn't overcome a huge size disadvantage but he is always game. ustinov is slowly climbing the ranks but has never really looked impressive in his fights but he keeps winning & adding regional titles along the way. he is 35 & needs to make his move now but he is under the K2 banner so i doubt he will get a shot at either klitschko. he has wins over gavern, manswell, bakhtov, vidoz, sprott & his best win coming vs barrett. he really only wins because of his size advantage. i'd like to see him get in with a bigger contender like wach or michael grant. i'd even like to see him fight tye fields just because fields can crack & is 6'8 himself. ustinov is just a big guy like valuev & he is slow & methodical. he needs to step up to the B level contenders now. grant, wach, kingpin are guys who are proven & none of them are small either.
