    Filip Hrgovic ( Age 23 years old ) , possibly the next heavyweight champion if he turns pro.

    He reminds me a bit of a focused Golota, but with a better chin.

    Young and improving, he's likely the favorite to win gold in Rio at Super Heavyweight. Get to know him. Action pick ups at around the 1:04 mark

    I have seen him about 10 times. Here are my grades, which can improve if he goes pro.

    My grades:

    Height A
    Reach A
    Power B+
    Chin A
    Offensive skills B+
    Defensive skills C+ ( Can be countered )
    Hand and foot speed B
    Stamina B
    Ring smarts B
    Heart A-

    Good assesment :good He'll definetly be a top player in the future, seems like an all around fighter but I'd wait a little longer to call him the next champion. At least until the olympics.

    The major questions on amateurs turning pro at heavyweight are chin and heart. This guy has both in the spades. He can take a heck of a punch and has the heart to keep coming no matter what.

    If you add that with his size, skills and pretty good power, you have something.

    He just needs to tighten up the D a bit. Not saying he's the next Klitschko, but he can become a decent belt holder in a post Klitschko boxing world.

    If I finally get around to doing my prospect rankings for future HW's he's pretty close to the top.

    American superheavyweight Darmani Rock would put this guy to sleep. Rock is the future of the division.

    Rock is pretty young though. But It's ridiciolus to claim he'd beat the top SHWs now.

    This guy looks like the typical Eastern European robot. Probably hasn't turned pro because he wont pass the drug testing...
