Why isnt anyone mentioning bakole as an opponent for any of the british top heavyweights.

Is he just too dangerous?

Was his win v Yoka a fluke?

Chisora v Bakole?

Joyce v Bakole?

Dubois v Bakole

Whyte v Bakole?

H Fury v Bakole?

Kash Ali v Bakole?

I make Bakole a favourite v Chisora, Ali, H Fury and Whyte.

Who’s his promoter?

Is it still Matchroom?

He's way too good for Kash Ali and gets him nothing. Not a big enough of a draw for Chisora's final years of money making. Too risky for Joyce and Whyte. Only the Hughie fight would realistically be plausible.

He's in that limbo period. He's not a big name yet but he's a threat to established guys. Doesn't bring enough money for them to risk as an chosen opponent and he will struggle to get decent opponents himself as he won't be able to guarantee a big purse.

He should be picking away at the best top 25 guys (ideally ranked 5-15 but unlikely) he can get until he has an established name or gets a mandatory position. He's 29 so not the oldest heavyweight but being active and adding a few Yoka type names to his record on a regular basis would be best for him. I'd propose the best opponents as: Parker, Pulev, Hrgovic, Wallin, Helenius, Dubois, Kownacki/Demirezen, Kabayel, Hughie. An outside of the box opponent, Jarrell Miller.

I think he's either with Matchroom or a free agent. Boxxer should pick him up.

"We'd gladly fight Parker, especially if it was an eliminator for a world title" said Nelson. "No problem whatsoever. Let's do it."

kash ali

Risk reward problems still I think. Very big, very strong, kinda good, 6 fans.

He's not with Matchroom. Billy Nelson is always slagging them off on Twitter. Bakole is sparring Usyk now.

i have a hard time picturing the dude that shuffled ineffectively around the ring after Hunter to be a top contender. or even a contender.

That’s clever of him.

Bakole reminds me of a poundshop version Larry Holmes.

He`s been in some good scraps. i`d love to see him in with DDD

Wouldn't mind seeing him slap Yoka around again in a rematch.

We need a HW who needs him club super series.

Bakole v Wallin. A contender fight to earn the right to fight a genuine top 10 heavy.

Well he dealt with perrenial contenders gatekeeper Wach the way it should be, clean crisp powerful combos getting the guy out of there pretty easy, beat Yoka who destroyed Duhaupas is one round, one of Wilders best wins(and Wilder couldn't drop him), one bad performance is not enough to Jude who's going to be a contender at heavyweight

I mean, Wilders list of opponents ffsl

Anyone know who his promoter is? It is odd that he had a massive win and no one is talking about him?

Does Billy still use this site by any chance? I'm sure he'd be more than willing to talk to us about Bakole.
