I’m confused. Who do you consider to be the top 3? I know who people usually mean but one of them is in worse shape and was close to beating one of the others last time out.
Fury looks in much better nick IMO and he's freakishly talented, this guy is more of a slugger, he just doesn't look like he has the condition to mix with the big boys, saying that he's looks like a lot of HW do these days

No, you are correct. 😆

It’s either bald, or a proper shite hairdo

Good call !

He can whack a bit but is limited, his footwork is terrible and he just ambles forwards, wide open, to get into range, a half decent boxer would beat him. Good luck to the guy and all that but I think his bubble bursts if he step's up.

Kownacki will be a real handful if he turns out to have a chin at top level. Does anyone know if he's been hurt yet?

Doesn't matter how good his chin is, if he walks in wide open and gets hit by a hard-hitting heavy he'll topple. Still, I like his style and as others have said, I wish him all the best as he's fun to watch.

Yup. Exposed.
X3 a punching bag for Ortiz or povetkin. He's making the most of what he has. Gotta give him that. His will is enough for the fringe.

Cracking performance from Kownacki. It seemed like he was landing everytime, and they heavy shots.

Another welcome addition to the heavyweight top ten.

Hang on. Martin didn't buckle his knees or anything, he did enough to make Kownacki stop and think, then continue to use his face as his defence :o

I disagree. There have been a handful of heavyweights in the past that could take a monster punch and not go down:

Oliver McCall and Ray Mercer to name a few......

This is true. Wach as well more recently. Watching Klitschko tee off repeatedly and tire himself out hitting him in the face was unreal.

You're talking top chins of all time there. Its highly likely kownacki isn't near that level. Even if he's got a solid chin, how many can he take flush from wilder or Joshua. He doesn't have the skill to get his own punches off without taking flush punches from those guys. He may be able to instigate a war vs the likes of whyte though.

I won't call him the second Arreola. He is probably more successful already, despite not challenging the belts yet.

Arreola's biggest wins were McCline and Molina. Molina was already after him challenging the title.

Kownacki's biggest wins are Szpilka, Martin and Washington, which already sounds better, I'd say. And Kownacki's career is only developing, while Arreola is at his final career stages.

Those wins aren't nothing. Of course, they don't define greatness, but Kownacki's resume is a one of the best for today, he's a legit top-10 fighter. That's not nothing.
