I mean he is definitely a candidate and that's for sure. He has had two one punch KO victories over two solid opponents in Dominic Breazeale and Luis Ortiz.
man boobs Breazeale is a competant opponent? well yeah I guess so since this HW division is garbage. Just goes to show the importance of high light reel KOs to create cross over stars. GBP overpaid Khan for Canelo, Arum had to overpay Khan to feed him to Crawford, Canelo got the highlight reel KO but Crawford failed miserably.
No Breazeale was not a good opponent. He was getting schooled by Carlos Negron. If Negron had any power he would have stopped Breazeale because he was landing clean. If Negron had a gas tank he would have beaten him by decision. Breazeale was handed a weak opponent so he could look good but looked terrible.
