How highly do you rank him? IMO he has serious potential; i want to see him fight someone in the top 10. IMO he has serious potential to be the champion.
he is wasting his physical prime. He needs to get on with pro boxing. Him vs Hrgovic would be a great contest.
He’s in the unfortunate spot that he can only earn decent money in the US and there’s much bigger paydays for him if he’s an Olympic gold medalist. Needs a hat to be marketed over there.
I don't get that. AIBA governs amateur boxing how can they ban pros from being pros? Plus AIBA have no authority in regards to the Olympics as the IOC has stripped them of their Olympic credentials.
Depends. If he wins gold, maybe even silver, he will get the critical backing that he needs in the pros, and it will be worth it. He'll end up getting a five year head-start. If he doesn't, it is a waste of time. Since very Olympics seems to see a screwjob at heavyweight gold these days, maybe he should have just stayed in the pros. Time will tell.
i hope you are right. If he will be an amateur until late 2021, then he would need another 3 years of experience to fight for the title. That takes us into 2024. Fury and Joshua will likely be past their best at that time. I really wanted him to fight Fury and Joshua
Unfortunately, even Jalolov has a problem with management, it's a real shame that such a boxer is not yet in top 10 as he should be, he urgently needs a big fight...
His professional opposition has been dire. He's still young but without fights it's a wasted year and no money. He should sign with TR and try to get in the mix for Jared Anderson. Or he could fight Torrez again. ...
