So far we have 4 world champions/beltholders from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk, Vasyl Lomachenko, Oleksandr Gvozdyk and Artem Dalakian. There are few more contenders and prospects from Ukraine.

Karen Chukhadzhyan WW 13-1 Your rankings and thoughts?
I dont know who 5 7 9 10 are. I had high Hope's for Khytrov befor he got knocked out. Educate me on the other 4 if u can.
Glazkov should be there. And what happened to the other two dudes from the 2012 team? The turned into Richie Cunningham's brother Chuck*. *Look it up.
33 years old already. Inactive. Didn't find himself in professional boxing. Chose a wrong promoter/bad managers. A sad story. Now he gives boxing lessons to celebrities (or just anyone) in LA.
Wow, too bad. You'd think with an undefeated record he could fight bums on a few of Usyk/Chenko's undercards and ride the wave to a title shot though. Oh well, no offense, but January in LA has to be better than Kiev.
I've just googled some info on him, and it's quite interesting. This summer (in July) he said that the main problem's his contract with the (old) promoter. That contract will be in force/valid at least one and a half year more! Summer 2018 + 1.5 years = January 2020? That's horrible... So, his situation is similar to Beterbiev's but probably even worse...
