I'm sorry to say, but for me Herve Hubeaux is a bum...
He's like the Belgium version of Arnold Gjergjaj, in fact I wonder who would win between the two of them.
Your opinion wouldn't be fuelled by the fact that he's Belgian and you're Dutch now would it?

Thanks for that Oogie. Hubeaux is a step up definitely. Well it's a start I guess.
There are some potentially good opponents in Canada ... Miljas, Kean, Teslenko but the problem with tackling fellow hot prospects, is that for both protagonists the risk/ reward ratio is unfavourable.
Much better fight Hubeaux, then maybe someone like Hammer, or maybe even renew his acquaintance with Kubrat Pulev if he isn't tied up with Dillian Whyte, assuming Pulev is still interested in an opponent with a heartbeat these days.
Gym confirmed they aren't interested in Kean who has thé highest profile after Rivas... They are too far progression wise for thé fight to happen now. They are going for a top10 ranking with wbc which they thought they'd already have.
I remember watching him years ago in the Olympics against Pulev. He gave Pulev all he could handle in a close fight. He was young and inexperienced too, I thought he’d be a better pro than Pulev.

He’s wasted it so far.
You're right, but I'm hoping, as a fan of the sport, that it won't continue down palooka row.

Cobra béats hubeaux
I'm sure he does but he'll need to do better than that for the ranking. Oh wait ... it's the WBC who's his manager/ promoter?

Kean too dangerous for Rivas, too much of a step up at this time, IMHO.
Too dangerous for each other in a 'nothing' fight. Might be different if baubles are at stake of course.

That he has. Hope this is the start of him turning that around.
