    Been a year and a half since the Olympics many boxers have already turned pro and had a few fights to give us a better idea to gauge how much potential they have, at this point who do you think are the best prospects?

    Lomachenko and Usyk for me. It will be interesting to see how Joshua and Ogogo get on as well when they step up a level. There's also the American heavyweight Dominic Breazeale.

    I've got a good feeling about Joshua. Looks so powerful already, takes everything in his stride. The Klits probably won't be around if he gets to the top

    Ya the only thing people worry about with Joshua is that his too stiff. Also they question his chin beacuse magomedrasul medzhidov was able to rock him but he is a huge puncher who can take out anyone and ko'd Dychko at the last worlds, same with Cammarelle whos also a big puncher, so i think his chin is ok

    The Ukraine were a differant level. D grade are guys who have no chance of winning a world title , C grade are guys who have a slim chance ,B grade are guys who have a good chance and A grade are guys who I think will be world champions at some stage. I saved the extra grade for lomachenko because I think he could be world champ by the end of the year and I think Usyk could be too with the way his going, will be a champ within 10 fights

    What about that Robeisy Ramirez(Cuban Flyweight) - I thought he looked quite impressive.

    Ramirez has almost gone backward since the Olympics ,he didn't medal at the world championships (although was a bit of a home town decision) and he lost the Cuban championships so if there are championships going on I don't think he will be fighting for Cuba
