    Him, Andade, and Raynell Williams are very good prospects.

    Matvey Korobov-by a country mile is the best.

    If he wins the olympic gold he will be amateur world champ, european champion and gold medalist all at the same time-the first boxer ever to do so.

    Definately, the guy is an absoloute monster. I can't see anyone really competing with him at the Olympics. He's dominated every single one of his opponents over the last couple of years, even the top amateurs are losing to him by 20+ points. He's also stated that he'll be turning pro after the games, I can't wait.

    Matvey Korobov, he is pound-for-pound the best amateur boxer right now

    Korobov will be fighting 2004 Gold medalist Artayev Bahktiyar (KAZ) in his next fight. If he wins he'll be fighting either Shawn Estrada (USA) or Jamed Degale (GB). Korobov beat Bakhtiyar in last years world championships, nonetheless it should be a great fight. ​

    Alexey Tischenko (RUS)
    Zou Shiming (CHN)
    Manus Boonjumnong (THA)
    Bakhtiar Artayev (KAZ)
    Serik Sapiyev (KAZ)
    Roberto Cammarelle (ITA)
    Matvei Korobov (RUS)
    Albert Selimov (RUS)
    Abbos Atoyev (UZB)
    Clemente Russo (ITA)

    Those are the best pound for pund fighter in amateur rankings right now. But at least one of them already lost in the olimpics game

    Degale will beat Estrada, but come up short against the other fella.

    I was impressed with the welterweight this morning, forgotten his name - big body puncher.
