    What would you rate the odds at this point, that ends up being "Chenko and the Seven Dwarfs"?

    Beats the living **** out of the 2012 US Olympic team. I think this qualifies as nationalistic trolling. Hmmmm

    Why because I mentioned the name of a nation?

    Face it Bro, you're Boss Hogg, I'm the Duke boys, at the end of the show, you're always going to end up falling into a pile of S***!

    Seven dwarfs...???

    Usyk, Berinchyk, Shelestyuk are hardly dwarfs...!!! Usyk is a bonafide boxing superstar in the making, Berinchyk is an undefeated up-and-coming prospect and Shelestyuk is already the holder of a few steppingstone Championship belts.

    Khytrov may have just lost his first pro fight, but he is still young enough to turn his career back on track.

    Gvozdyk has established himself nicely in the light heavyweight division, already disposing of the likes of Karpency, Chilemba, Mohammedi.

    Ischenko is the only question mark of the group...!!!

    Boy you have an inflated ego don't you? I don't even remember you post here unless I'm actually reading one of your sporadic lamebrained racially tinged attempts at trolling, which is the only thing you actually post on here. Then I forgot you exist literally seconds afterward.

    Well I for damn sure didn't start a thread solely about YOU, unlike you who's actually so consumed by me and my opinion that you started one about me.:lol:

    Loma is such a sensational talent, the OP forget about Usyk and Gvozdyk.

    Agree with everything you said except about Khytrov, if that boy hasn't learned defense yet it ain't gonna happen. Literally doesn't parry, block, move his head, move his upper-body at all. Don't see him going that far with that kind of whole in his game.

    I might be wrong but did he just belittle an entire Olympic team because one guy lost? :risas3:

    Usyk and Lomachenko are going to be legitimate stars. Not too confident on the others.

    you have to admit though there are holes in the European style, not much head movement or many slick and skilled defensive fighters, even usyk gets hit quite a bit

    Agreed.

    There's always a place for fan-friendly fighters, but I have a hard time seeing him advancing past the gatekeeper level without some serious improvement to that defense.
