    A Violent Whirlwind Comes Howling Out Of The Hoosier's Nest.:deal:

    Anthony Sims Jr. born 02/23/1995 is a 6'1 Light Heavyweight with a 16-0 15 KO's record. Born in and fighting out of Plainfield, Indiana. In my never humble opinion, I think Anthony is perhaps one of the best prospects the United States has to offer, and evidently Eddie Hearn thinks so as well, since he recently snatched him up and sign him to Matchroom Sports. And thank God, since he was going nowhere fast with Don King, who he signed with initially after turning pro in 2016. He comes from Royal Blood in Boxing, he's the cousin of one of the most controversial figures in the sport, Mr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. himself, and skillwise, I see a few similarities. He's incredibly fast, pretty damn slick at times, defensively pretty sound, has a sharp authoritative jab, and throws some genuinely beautiful combinations, and a wickedly vicious left hook, but the one thing I like the most is... he fights more like Pretty Boy Floyd than Money May. He's quite aggressive, but brings intelligent effective aggression, working behind that jab, he cuts the ring off well and lands from unique angles with with wide array of punches in his arsenal. He had a fairly decent amateur career racking up 188 wins with only 10 losses, and in the process picked up 10 National titles. On top of all of that, he comes across as a sweet guy, he's charismatic and slightly boast, but soft spoken and doesn't come across as pompous, and he's a handsome kid, he has the potential to be a breakout star as long as he's not packing glass. So Check Out The Light Heavyweight Hoosier Bruiser in Action.:ggg:ggg:ggg:ggg

    Absolutely no homo but it’s also worth pointing out that Sims is easily one of the hunkiest men in boxing right now.

    Yeah he seems like a cool, likeable guy and he has got his head screwed on.

    :lol: OK, thanks for explaining

    This is my current top 10 most handsome boxers list

    In no order (PBK and Gvozdyk are #1 and #2, though)

    Josh ''Pretty Boy'' Kelly
    Gvozdyk
    Sims Jr.
    Loma
    Lemieux
    Algieri
    Gilberto Ramirez
    Michael Hunter Jr.
    Josh Taylor
    Murata

    I might have to revise that if Kessler or Sergio make a comeback though, assuming time hasn't been too unkind to them that is.

    Solid list, some wildcards in there, although out of principle I don’t think I can concur with the inclusion of anyone under at least 5’9”.

    I don’t think it’s possible to compile any sort of list without the inclusion of Hughie Fury, although his hair is thinning rapidly.

    :lol: I wouldn't normally include dwarfs in my top 10 but Loma is devilishly handsome. In fact, if he was 5'10'' or more he would have a strong case for the #1 position.

    Hughie's not booking a place in my top 1000 with those noodle arms and crater back of his lol

    Wildcards? Murata maybe?

    You might want to reconsider that after seeing this

    Josh Taylor too perhaps? Well he looks much better with his hair like this IMO

    I can definitely see the appeal in Taylor. He has that same type of Matthew Macklin ruggedness that British and Irish boxers tend to possess. Another one in that mould is Lewis Ritson.

    For some reason he looks like a less feral and less defective Michael Katsidis to me.

    @ellerbe @Pimp C @Willie Maeket You all need to get on the Sims Bandwagon. As far as American fighters go, he and Haney are the truth and the future.:deal:
