    Peter McGrail, Julio Cesar La Cruz, Joahnny Argilagos are 3 that come to my mind. i'm just getting into amateurs as well since Rio 2016 so this thread could help me out as well

    I don't think he did. I remember there was a rumour about him turning pro with Mike Altamura as the manager (who Dychko is apparently turning pro with) but I'm not sure if it is true. He was/is certainly contemplating it. His brother is currently a pro in NY - http://boxrec.com/boxer/705326
    In his insta, he seems very happy in Kazakhstan.

    Robeisy tends not to care so much about other tournaments but maybe we can see him win 3x Olympic Gold putting himself in the same class as Lazlo Papp. Once in a lifetime achievement.

    Apart from the boxers do people still care about the Olympics?

    Julio cesar la cruz, Robeisy ramirez, argilagos, melekuziev

    Some good UK amateurs include Callum French, McCormack twins, Dalton Smith etc

    Manor Boxing Gym in sheffield also has some good amateurs who don't have the exposure that team GB have. Shakiel Thompson, Reneil Thompson, Darnell Sterling and Donte Dixon all names to look out for
