According to ‘The Problem Child’, his potential opponents are the UFC megastar Conor McGregor, the former pound-for-pound Canelo Alvarez, and heavyweight icon Tyson Fury.

Since he defeated UFC great Anderson Silva, he is considering himself a fighter, who can challenge any champion. Meanwhile, ‘The Problem Child’ is overlooking the fact that his opponents were never legit boxers. It would be an entirely different scenario when he would meet an established boxer who is practicing hooks and jabs for decades.
