    Oleksandr Usyk - I think they are moving him a bit slowly but it might be because of what happen to loma and also apparently no champion wants to fight him. however he has been in some good learning fights ,getting rounds in and practicing and building a huge following in Ukraine. world title fight In 2016 seems likes it on the way

    Artur Beterbiev - moved very quickly and would be near world title fight id not for injury great job. he's team brought in the most durable journeymen they could find to try and get him rounds, sparring the likes of pascal they knew he was ready to mix it and put him in against cloud. great job by he's team

    Michael Hunter - pro almost 3 years hasn't fought anything but bums, terrible job by he's team

    Anthony Joshua - Hearn is doing a great job with him, making serious money and trying to get him apped step ups but he keeps flattening them. Whyte was a great learning fight too and he made 6 million for that domestic fight, he will be the money man in the division. id like to see him in with the likes of chisora,wach fres etc in 2016 and he hopefully has about 6 fights but great job

    Dominic Breazeale - he is limited and has found he's level, however he's promoters got him a robbery and now will more than likely get him another one so good job

    I disagree, Mekhontsev looked awful in his last fight against Junior Jackson if he steps up the competition he may end up like Korobov against Lee.

    But I agree with you regarding Gvozdyk. The guy is better than that he should fight some better opposition.

    I have to say Golden Boy and Al Haymon are doing a better job at promoting East European talents than Arum. Shabranskyy (GB) already had a solid opponent in Yunieski Gonzalez and beat him. Haymon's two Ukrainians (Khrytov, Derevyanchenko) already fought on Showtime. While Gvozdyk, Ponomarev, Kavaliuskas got no TV exposure they fight on undercards against nobodies.

    yes he looked poor but he does need to step up in class and he's next fight isn't a step forward. he needs to be moved on. I think haymon is doing a good job with khytrov apart from he's trainers but sergey should be fighting better opponents already
