Thoughts on Ismayl Sillakh?

From the fights I've seen both live and on youtube the guy looks absolutely sensational. Excellent technical ability, power in either hand, great defence and bags of confidence. I already think he's the best light heavyweight in the world and he hasn't even had a title fight yet. Warren won't let Cleverly go anywhere near him but I think he'd absolutely slaughter Cleverly if they fought.

I can see why Pascal was so reluctant to take the fight with Sillakh and why he's in the "who needs him club" at the moment but I think he'll be a unified world champion in the next 3 years.

How the **** he isn't ranked by the WBO I will never know....the guy is certainly a top 10 guy at 175 and I'd fancy him against any of them H2H.
