Andre August hadn’t fought in 4 years (pre-China flu). At 35 and carrying 12 total fights with that layoff and a padded record (only three opponents had winning records at the time of his fights) he is extremely far from legit. He was a decent amateur though. Good talent coming from Houston these days.
But the man has followed his dream. I commend that. Just got a big pay day… good stuff. That money, if invested properly, leads to him never having to take a KO like that again.
Cruiser is the least competitive in boxing and Paul currently stands no chance against the current top ten. The only fight that would have serious draw would be Okolie. Badou Jack is the biggest name, old but still some drawing power (except he can’t build a fight; too soft spoken).
Usyk had cruiser unified until he made the jump to heavy to put all of this in perspective. Abraham took off and we are left with Dorticos, Breidis, and Propetia…. Barely names in the sport of boxing.
