    Warren needs to step him up so we can actually see how he compares to good boxers.
    Some fans seems to be in hurry when its any other guy aside wilder.
    At fight #14, who was wilder fighting?
    Hypocrisy is killing this sport immensely.

      I'd agree on Wallin/Martin/Breazeale, but not Allen. I like the guy, but he's shortened his career with some poor decisions and is starting to look shot already. Dubois-Chisora would be a good rumble and test of the young lads mentality - everyone knows the games Del Boy plays to get under peoples skin.
      I get the feeling that Warren is going to try and bring a host of decently ranked fighters from random countries to the UK. He's got Fujimoto, then it'll be the likes of Zhang, Miljas, Fa, Takam, Kean, Duhaupas, Demirezen, Romanov (didn't he fail to get Leapai over ?); and make a point of promoting Dubois as a literal World-beater - without ever actually fighting away from home of course. If he's brave, Warren will try to include Ajagba, Hrgovic, Rivas or Kabayel, but that's a big if.
      I only added Allen because it'll attract casuals and get DDD a bigger fanbase, no doubt DDD ends the fight when he wants.

      The biggest trouble they'll find is fringe world level guys will want a fortune to fight him, they know how good he is and how hard he punches. Getting knocked out by a prospect affects their future earnings so they want retirement money. Also, Hearn uses a lot of these HW's and can pay them more with that DAZN money.

      DDD-Chisora would be ideal this time next year imo, the problem is Del didn't even want to fight Joyce so don't think he'd fight DDD.

      Hammer gave Ortiz some problems when they fought so would be a good first fight next year imo, then 2 fights against Wallin/Jennings/Martin/Breazeale then Chisora in December.

      Btw, I was there when the man in your avi fought and beat Kessler, best night of my life. What a fighter.

        Calzaghe was an awesomely talented boxer, out of the modern greats perhaps 2nd only to Roy Jones at 168, comparing both at their peak. The Kessler fight was a good one and probably his most competitive along with the initial title win over Eubank Snr, but it's the Lacy fight that surely can never be forgotten. I was watching in a packed out pub that night, which went from awed silence at the start to stadium-level noise by the middle rounds.
