Can anyone list some more prospects

 

Im slightly disappointed we don’t see more fighters from Uzbekistan on the big stage - the rinse everyone in the Olympics but the pro careers seem to stall. Jalalov is 30 and didn’t had a big fight yet

 

I think Jalolov is all wrong for Hrgovic he could win that and has way more amature experience than Itauma

 

Itauma. He'll beat himself.

 

Strange how you omit the British heavyweight boxers considering thats where the pendulum swings at present

 

What British prospects are out there besides Damar Thomas and Leo Atang ? The next era is about to be the most global ever

 

And there’s still no american heavyweights to look forward to out there, it makes no sense.

 

If Itauma can comeback which shouldn't be too big an ask considering the nature of the fight, I still think he'd be the best heavyweight prospect by a good distance. Main competition would be Jalolov but he's wasting his prime in the amateurs.

 

Well not on that threadbare list.Another Brit hater

 

Leo Atang is on there, Damar Thomas has not gone pro

 

Joseph Awinongya is the best upcoming American heavyweight, he put up a great effort against Uzbekistans most talented Southpaws, he's 19 years old and 6'5

So you think Moses will retire and we'll never see him again?

 

Itaumas out of the way, if he's losing to Hrgovic theres no way he will reign. He doesn't have Wladimirs size or the 15 round stamina of the past smaller heavyweight. It's over for Moses. I think someone like Josh Edwards could beat him, let alone true upcoming machines like David Surov or Lazizbek Mullojonov. They're unproven but they seem to have way better stamina than him. That stamina can't be fixed it's just genetics.

 

Stamina comes from specific training, and is mostly to do with menal strength. Certainly he was babied too much, and the transition to Hrgovic was steep, but he's finished when he tells himself that, nobody else has control of that decision.

So we now we see if he's made for the trenches by how he responds. Please don't hate the young fella because of how selfish and greedy men have portrayed him though, and give him an open mind, as your criticism is harsh.
