A fellow Japanese propsect at 115 is Sho Ishida who looks a teeny weeny bit special. Don't look at his record (15-0, 8) and think the kid can't punch either. Very, very good boxer. Another few Japanese kids to keep an eye on- Hiroki Okada (8-0, 7)-Japanese Light Welterweight champion who appears to have decent fire power. Aged just 24 he's got a lot of time and and he's with a decent promoter. Could be well see him in the world rankings in the next year or two Masayoshi Nakatani (7-0, 5)-Probably the most obvious choice outside of the Inoue brothers, Ryota Murata and Kosei Tanaka. Nakatani is a very rangy Lightweight who won the OPBF (Asian) Lightweight title earlier this year and appears to have the tools to go a long way. He's a stable mate of Kazuto Ioka and Ryo Miyazaki and is tipped for BIG things. Rikki Naito (9-0, 5)-Current Japanese Super Featherweight champion, looked fantastic winning the title a few weeks ago. Really promising and at 22 has a lot of time ahead of him. Will need to hope that Daiki Kaneko doesn't want his old title back though. Hikaru Marugame (2-0, 1)-Wild card choice so to speak is Marugame who was a former amateur standout and many with "their ear to the ground" have been speaking up this kid as something special. Although some are tipping stable mate Naoto Uebayashi (4-0-1, 2) as the better guy I think Marugame will go further. A lot, lot more out their than just "Monster".
no there were reports even in Quigleys local paper in Ireland last month that he had signed with Al Haymon, also he missed the national championships so everyone assumed he had turned over. The trail seems to have gone cold recently however he put pictures of him training with Andre Ward in LA up today on his twitter and facebook so maybe theres still something in the works
I don't want to jinx Anthony Joshua, but I'll go head and put it out there....... PPL made comparisons of Price with Wlad Klitschko. Tons of comparisons and even claimed that Price would stomp Fury and eventually topple Wladimir himself. Not saying Joshua will beat Wlad, but one day I think we might be saying prime for prime Joshua beats both Klitschkos. Yeah, I think he's gonna be THAT GOOD!:thumbsup
