Realistically, how far will Tom Stalker go?

You can't really read anything into last nights fight, Laight just came to survive so it was always going to be difficult for Stalker to look good

 

Do you guys think it was the right thing to stay amateur until now..? If he did not go the Olympics he would not of signed with Eddie Hearn and i presume now that he is earning decent money "PER FIGHT" who knows..?

If he would of turned pro 4 years ago, what would of happened..?

Buisness wise, i think now was the time for him to turn professional.

 

no body can make a legit guess based on last night. he has the backing of a big promoter and is popular, sells tickets etc. so he will get chances.

with boxing its not all about ability. work ethic and opportunity play a huge part.

 

Definitely could get a world title shot promising all goes well, depends who's around in 2/3 years time

 

Not far in my opinion he just doesn't hit hard enough plus time is not on his side.

 

Doesnt hit hard enough and way too open for counters, basically a knockout waiting to happen.

 

said something about him a while back and got slated but i just dont see the talent there with him.even at 2012 i knew he wouldnt do well at the games.seems a decent lad though and hope im wrong.

 

Why does everybody keep talking about age, he's 28, he's still young in today's era. With good nutrition and supplementation age should not be a factor.

Ability wise..? I have not seen him fight yet, i switched it over as he was fighting.

Depends what his lifestyle is like, he's not one of these fighters who just eats right and trains during camp etc..

He needs to keep the amateur work ethic, most amateurs get lazy as professionals.

 

****in hell 1 pro fight and he's already feather fisted???

Some people in this forum honestly need other forums away from boxing to post about, how about you give Tom Stalker one clean shot on your chin and then after youve woken up tell him he cant punch :deal

 

Ok rant over, Ive had a bad weekend! .................... apologies :-(

 

not verry far not british level

 

Unify the world titles.

 

British level for me, hasn't got a lot of power and he will find it difficult to keep people off him in the pros.

 

His opponent had been stopped 4 times in just under 160 fights; two of those being very premature stoppages. I'd hardly base anything on not stopping him.
