    You got any video of your fights BTW? What weight did you say you were... LHW/Cruiser or something wasn't it?

    That's what I'm saying tho...who's gonna pay for it? He's completely unknown outside the boxing community. No promoter is gonna put up big $s if they ain't sure of getting a return - and that's a return on the fight not 4 or 5 down the line if he wins. And why should anyone with contender or mando status give him the fight unless they're getting paid big money for it? - Just think about it, you've fought for years to get in a position for a title shot - how much would you want to potentially have your career flushed down the toilet by the new wunderkind? I sure as **** would be wanting retirement level payment.
    At the end of the day, no matter how sure you and I might be that Vasyl is the next big thing, to a promotor or broadcaster he is an unknown quantity - a big gamble, and businesses, no matter what you see in movies, do not like risks. They like sure things, they like control, they like the things which make sure they keep being rich.

    Lol @ brittards for hyping that flat footed , slow ,glass jawed joshua, he's nothing special at all , I don't see nothing promising in him, Joe Joyce is a better prospect than Joshua.

    My good friend Cobrita Gonzalez Jr. will be a force to reckon with. He already destroyed Antonio Margarito's brother in law Hansel Martinez with a devastating punch. He is a big puncher like his father and has sparred against Miguel Vazquez, Giovani Segura, and other names.

    Look at his videos on you tube they are quite impressive. His right hand is similar to Maravilla Martinez' left. He knows how to work the body and answers with fury.

    Ukraine have a load of class amateurs, Lomachenko and Usyk are the standouts but the likes of Ishchenko, Khytrov and Berinchyk are class aswell.

    The standout Cuban at the moment has to be Robeisy Ramírez, the lad looks amazing, one of the best amateurs about.

    Closer to home Andrew Selby (Wales) looks Quality.

    Ireland have some decent amateurs aswell in John Joe Nevin no doubt is our best but the likes of Michael Conlan, Joe Ward, Jason Quigley and Paddy Barnes (can't see him turning pro though) are all top quality boxers.

    Japan's Middleweight Murata looks like he'd make a very good pro aswell, good power and strong as an ox!!

    Agreed Ramírez was fantastic at the Olympics and still so young.
     
  10. Ukraine have countless top amateurs and are clearly producing the best fighters and having the best results.
    Ireland are looking really strong right now as well.
