    Nor do I, but Medina (longshot) and Moore (long-er shot) might work themselves into the mix of contenders.

    We'll see. But right now he has yet to turn pro - so I haven't bothered tracking him yet.

    I think he's about 6' 2"...right? A smaller HW like Torres Jr.

    I'm tracking him on my Olympics radar. Hoping to see him pole-axed by Teremoana Jr.

    Going with Lorenzo Medina for the sime fact he is 18 and has almost as many fights as some of the guys 10-11 years older than him. This trend of guys in their mid to late 20's with a little more than a hand full of fights needs to end.

    Medina actually just turned 19, but that's a good point.

    That said, a couple of the other fighters on this list (Brandon Moore one example) had their careers sabotaged by Probellum and lost anywhere from 18-24 months while that sad story played itself out in the courts.

    I got around to watching some Medina recently, pretty decent but damn does he look doughy and small for a heavy. But he has what looks like good natural instincts and fast hands.

    Jalolov iced Torrez Jr.

    Torrez Jr is going to be KOed soon.

    Joshua Edwards is the only one currently and he's not even pro, will have to wait for the next batch of Olympians 4 years from now

    Sonny Conto is a good prospect. Just badly needs to step up the opposition now, surely it's time.

    You'd think being an Italian- American Heavyweight from Philadelphia like Rocky, he'd be being promoted a lot better.
