Russian Federation's 91+ kg class is going to get very crowded when Romanchuk returns. I have a feeling some citizenship papers may be filed by other former Republics to claim the overflow. Not unlike what occurs in Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling.

Lets see how he looks after so much time out. I dont think the current champ Faizulin is that amazing. Kuzmin impressed, and he's only 22. Want to see him vs. Romanchuk. |

avk47 do you remember Alexei Lezin ? European and World Heavyweight Champion (Amateur). He had defeated both Klitschkos in the final
If he had turned pro he would have been great ! |

6'4 southpaw, he was real good. He also lost to both Klitschko's too though. |

He also beat Povetkin and was a very good boxer. The problem with him was that he was a bit chinny, and I'm not convinced of how he would have converted from amateur to pro stylewise.

Last I heard he was going to come back at SHW, and was entering the Russian nationals in September. It also said he was starting to train again with the Russian national team.

I would have bet my right testicle that Lezin would not have been durable enough for the Professional ranks. His victory over Povetkin was a gift.
I am not auditioning for captain obvious but... Timurziev mas made for Professional boxing, if not for his myriad of medical afflictions. Now all Romanchuck has to do is come back from being shot in the head. GOOD LORD! Russian boxers seem to have far more obstacles than most. |
