    I can only assume Galal Yafai will join his brothers in the pro ranks soon...if he hasn't already.
    Seems like an obvious Hearn signing

    Not necessarily because i dont think Hearn will want too many light flyweights, the midget weights get poor Tv ratings.. no one cares about them

    Antonio Vargas is turning pro today.
    He is the most underrated and probably the best boxer of the US Olympic Team.
    He beat Finol and considering that Avila was robbed against Aloyan (who was stripped of his medal because was caught in a drug test) and that Veitia arguably won his fight, he has wins over 3/4 of the deserved medalists.
    He's also the PanAm Champion and has wins over Cintron and Dos Santos.

    This olympic SHW medalists are gonna shake things up at the HW division. Might become one of the most exciting divisions within 2 or 3 years.

    Hrgovic, Yoka and Dycho going pro at heavyweight! Three top guys. Hrgovic to me is the best pro prospect of the bunch. He has the requiem for a heavyweight. 6'6" tall, solid build, A+ chin, very good power, and good skills. A fan friendly style too!

    I hope Nistor goes pro too. He's better than anyone wilder or Joshua fought for sure. In fact, he KO'd Joshua as an amateur. Like many he was robbed in Rio in the super heavyweight division

    The 2016 super heavyweight competition had the best fighters in the history of the division in the olympic games, but also had one of the most controversial champions in the games.

    Could It be the only time all 4 of the medalist are turning pro? Not sure about Joyce but he had some intentions too.
