Buatsi definitely has a chance to pick up a belt when Bivol and Beterbiev retire.

He would be my pick out of the lot.
I really wouldn't be surprised if none of the others did.

It would be tragic if Catterall didn't considering he was robbed of the undisputed title.

Buatsi is on 6%. He would have been my favourite years ago. But now I would not vote for him.
I can imagine him staying unbeaten and never fighting for a title. Though I'm so tired of his lack of ambition I hope he loses now to Smith and/or Yarde. Those two men were prepared to throw the dice.

This. Moreover, he is now having to take on a run of opponents all of whom would have made perfectly acceptable challengers had he won that title - Taylor, Prograis and now Barboza. I hope he is at least getting decent purses for those fights.

Thing is with Itauma is that he probably has nearly 20 years of his career left. He might be able to pick someone up in that time, even if it's undeserved.olij999 wrote: ↑09 Jan 2025, 08:17Catterall and Dalton Smith for me. As for Itauma, do we know anything yet about his chin or his stamina? Feels way too early to be able to form an opinion, at least for me.

Dalton Smith and Sam Noakes for me .
Smith's inactivity might be his Achilles heel .

Jack Catterall and Josh Kelly for me. I'm completely biased towards Kelly.

Connor Benn might win a title, but it will be some orchestrated jinky thing that avoids fighting an actual champion. Then expect him to defend it against guys you've never heard off with really good records on paper....

Moses Itauma
Benn shouldn't be an option, anything he will win won't be worth a carrott

The problem for them is that they are in tough divisionsolij999 wrote: ↑09 Jan 2025, 08:17Catterall and Dalton Smith for me. As for Itauma, do we know anything yet about his chin or his stamina? Feels way too early to be able to form an opinion, at least for me.
But of course with a good promoter they might get a vacant WBO shot, or get upgraded from the interim title.

Buatsi v Smith is for a title so he has a decent chance.

Jack Catterall should already be world champion but that’s crooked boxing
