2016 and 2012 was corrupt Neither winner won gold Recent report showed corruption Joe Joyce is better than AJ
This new crop of HW's is dreadful. Prospects all taking one another out, no one building, no one even passing the eye test. People are talking about the potential of Frank Sanchez.... To think Fury took out Vlad K in his mid 20's and then look at this bunch is sad.
The curse is real. Every generation of olympics gold medalists follow a pattern. They win titles, next gen fails miserably then the next gen win titles again. Repeat.
I was sold on Hrgovic but the other night has me doubting he has what it takes. Jalolov from the 2020 olympics is the business, I think him and Jared Anderson have very bright futures.
Hrgovic deserved to win Saturdays fight. But he has declined, he has been weakened by bad management and lack of decent opposition. Anderson is very young, he probably is a future champion. Being American will help him a lot, American and British fighters get the best training, the best sparring and the best opportunities to develop. Jalalov is the best up-and-coming heavyweight, but he needs a good promoter or he will decline like Hrgovic.
You can add Dychko to the list of 2016, while he hasn't lost but his career is going nowhere, his last 3 fights where in Kazakhstan and Brazil, you know those hot beds of boxing, lol. Joyce seems to be the last man standing right now but I don't see him beating Usyk or Fury, though I suspect they both retire once they have fought.
