Now that Jamal is healthy again and looks strong and fast, Rico defeating another contender, Badr not going in and out of the prison, benny doing good and tufa looking promosing, who would you like to fight who next?
first and for most I would say Rico vs Badr. It's time to see if a Rico can handle the boxing of Hari. Now Hari is 10 months since he got out of prison, so he had all the time to get back in full shape. This will be a battle of "the best boxing" vs "the best kicks"... If hari comes 100% prepared I think his length, jab and footwork will win this fight.
Jamal vs benny. The winner gets the winner of Rico vs Badr. This fight has been in the making 2 or 3 times already. I see a healthy jamal catching benny which doesn't have the best defensive or chin.
Tafa vs Londt. This will be an absolute war. Two guys that will look to take each other heads off. Londt hasn't looked good in the last period though, this his last chance to show us if he still has any potential left to get to the top again. I think tafa will time him with a hook when londt will start to get sloppy later on in the fight. Tafa boxing is possibly the best out there besides badr. He had no problem in out boxing benny and Guto. Though he had huge problems with kicks which lost him those fights. He looks like a big/tall mark hunt, the way he moves, the way he punches, the timing and even the body type.

There are some fun fights to be made at HW as long as nobody's fighting Rico.
It's not that he's such an awesome technician or anything, he's just a much harder worker than all other talented heavyweights combined. His conditioning is vastly superior to every other top 10 HW.
If/when Rico fights Badr again, I see Rico winning again unless Badr shows up in pre-2012 shape and gets Rico out early.
I think Tafa looks pretty promising and could go places if they build him up right.
Londt I only want to see if he can get his act together and show up in shape. And I'm a big Londt fan. But his last few performances have been dreadful. He's basically the new Errol Zimmerman of showing up fat/injured.
As for talents from outside of Glory there are some:
- Levi Rigters - Fabio Kwasi - Nordine Mahieddine - Roman Kryklia - Ibrahim El Bouni - Antonio Plazibat - Roël Mannaart (He is actually a Glory fighter now as well)
I'm a bit down on Murat Aygün. He won the WFL tournament last week, but he had help from the judges in his last fight and while his performance overall was pretty decent, he's not the killer I was hoping him to turn into.
And who knows Ghita might have some fights left in him. Wasn't Ruslan Karaev coming back 'again' as well?
I'm probably missing a few names, but if matched up correctly I think the above names could have solid fights.

I don't think badr can ever shows up in his 2008-2012 though. He has had two surgeries on his right arm and many other injuries, inactivity etc. But I still think hari is more skilled than rico and would probably win the first 3 rounds against rico by simply using footwork/movement, jab and angles. Anyway the reality is you always know what you get with rico, aka a very well prepared fighter with big IQ ring, while with hari you never know what you will get at this point, which means anything can happen. Also great list there, especially ibrahim el bouni and fabio kwasi. Glory should sign all of those fighters that you listed instead of having those americans journeymans. Hope Ghita signs with glory, but with his inactivity and age I don't know how well he would do, but HW division isn't deep itself, so he will probably be at least top 10.

Honestly, there are so many awesome fights at heavyweight and none of them involve Rico.
I'm not sure what that says anymore.
I love Londt, Wilnis, JBS, Benny, etc.
Most of these guys are super entertaining to watch and really good.
