Garbage. There's momentum at the top. Neither HW will fight for a title regardless of a win.

I get it. But who else were they supposed to fight? Zhang and Dubois looking like they're about to get it crackin' or maybe Zhang vs Bakole. Usyk and Fury is 12/21. Wilder and Joshua are recovering (we probably shouldn't see either of them for another year). And Parker's already beaten Chisora twice.

Not that many choices at the top for either of them to choose from.

not interested in seeing chisora fight despite a decent win vs JJ

Miller vs Anderson would have been fun; both coming off stoppage losses (Edit: Forgot MIller vs Ruiz>Draw)

That's fine. But let's look to unify with Ramirez.
I watched that Billam-Smith v Zurdo fight the other day.

Ehh, I like Ramirez but I don't like his chances against Opetaia, way too athletic and heavy handed at that weight class.

Ramirez got it together against Billam-Smith, but his power wasn't where I would have hoped it would be for him after moving up, he's a little laconic with the extra weight hanging off him. He'd be perfect at 180 if it existed, but the jump from 175 to 200 is problematic.

Granted it is two left handers, so that could shift the jab a little.
