The one big ? is his chin as his defense has been pretty porous. Tank Williams did hurt him some, but then again that he was fighting Williams so early is impressive.
Anthony Joshua's chin remains a "?" as well.
Would be cool for the test to come against each other.

Those kind of prospect matchups don't happen anymore, unfortunately.

That's right. They are usually far too precious about losing their 0.
Had to bring up a soviet.....couldnt think of a heavy so just dropped a few divisions. I saw ikorolov posted on a non soviet topic and was shocked...had to look and i be damned if he didnt throw a soviet fighter in there whos not even in the fornicating heavyweight division. Lol world do not give this dude power, he will try to take over the world

Except there is another thread named "Derrick Webster vs Arif Magomedov" which is exactly about such prospect matchup.
There are still prospects who believe in themselves and have balls. Maybe there aren't as many ...
There are nowhere near as many fighters willing to rink their 0 as there were years ago. When there were less titles fighters used their unbeaten records to get matched up with contenders in the top 10 or 15 with an eye to a title fight, and if they lost in the process there was nothing like the taboo that exists now about losing their 0.
These days there are so many titles available it is possible to record pad maintaining that all important 0 all the way to a title fight without ever having fought anyone ranked in the process.
One of the reasons so many title fights are one sided these days is because one of the fighters simply doesn't belong there.
