Chris Barnett

Nobody hands you anything at heavyweight. Chris Barnett — "Beastboy" to fight fans — has built a 23-10 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Spain's regional scene.

On the feet he's a problem: 3.36 significant strikes a minute at 55% accuracy, and 78% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.

He's coming off a loss to Hamdy Abdelwahab. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 40, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
