    Agree with most of that.

    Medley aint going anywhere, his limitations have been shown. Fun to watch though and a good guy to have on a card cause he pulls a crowd in syd.

    Im really liking Lenny Zap. He has superstar written all over him, great strenghts and style suited for the pros.

    I think he will be a huge Middleweight. How long since your have seen Pittman? I saw him in his first few fights and wasn't impressed. He seemed to really over extend on his footwork when throwing punches and didn't have a very good offensive arsenal. But since then he has tightened up and looks to have pretty good power to go with the handspeed. He is one dimensional, but it will be a hard one dimension to beat.

    Pittman has gone through the motions at times in the pro ranks.
    If he feels comfortable & retains alot of his power at 160 he will be massive, & should stop most in his division in Australia.

    I will say I formed this opinion mostly on some of the early fights I have seen.
    Ive seen him train once and watched his sparring of Sakio on youtube, and I was real impressed.

    But I saw his last fight and before that his fight 5 fights ago, and I didnt see a lot of improvement since then. Granted I havent seen his best work against Sherro and the Thai who was in the olympics.

    Another half a dozen fights or so in Australia against Aussie & Asian opponents, then he should be ready to fight a top 20-30 fringe contender type.

    The best fighters at this stage for him to learn against are guys that have good chins & are durable.
    Not like the last guy he fought Leigh Lindgren.
    Still tho plenty of time & no need to rush.

    Anyone seen OZ around here. Mention Mundine and watch him come sniffing...
    anyway, I'll move on from this little demonstration as I risk the logical comeback that I myself am obsessed with Oz.
    Anthony Mundine is the best new talent.

    Daniel Geale
    Rocky (being a bit overrated though deservedly)
    Ryan Langham.

    Seen plenty of jamie, and I'm VERY apprehensive tipping him.

    and I long to see a aussie heavyweight champ. Id give all the fighters we have to see one heavyweight world champ.

    :patsch
    Dont rate Langham at all.
    Should of lost his bout with Philipino Robert Oyan.
    Sorry but he aint heading anywhere at all.
    Has an ordinary chin too.
    He is being very carefully matched since the Oyan bout.

    Langham was a great amature, but i dont think he is cut out for the Pro's.
