    Ruiz Jr could be realistic, the other 3, no chance. I would say that a lot of HWs will be looking to take him on now so some big paydays could be coming his way.

    Universum in Germany have signed 6‘8 1/2‘‘ giant Christian Thun. The German HW is currently 4-0 and has sparred the likes of Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

    Him next to Wilder:

    Justis Huni is looking to turn pro as soon as sporting events are allowed to happen again. At the same time he will still participate in next year‘s Olympic Games (he already qualified earlier this year). The Aussie won the Youth World Championship in 2016 and won a Bronze in 2019 at elite level. He‘s a proper standout talent IMO.

    One of his fights at the World Championships last year:

    Maybe a rematch with Jalolov a few years down the track.

    Huni is a talented kid. I'm excited to see him in the pros (no homo).

    Never seen him fight either, it would be interesting to know how good he is.
    Huni turning pro is great news, now we only need Richard Torrez Jr. to also turn pro after the Olympics.
    The kid has a ton of potential, even if most people only know him from the Jalolov KO.
    Good power, a smaller Southpaw who cuts off the ring really well, has a great workrate and brings relentless pressure, he has a style that should translate really well to the pro game.

    Yeah, he is definitely someone with a bright future. Got the work ethic necessary as well. I‘m also interested in Team USA‘s Olympic alternate Antonio Mireles, who won the trials last year but now is the guy behind Torrez. Also a southpaw, but at 6‘8‘‘ he is the polar opposite to Torrez.

    Because he's total **** and knows his career is over after Parker destroys him. Can't say I blame him though. Hasn't panned out as a pro and is on borrowed time. if he doesn't cash out soon a journeyman might ruin that payday which only has appeal in NZ because of his amateur wins over Parker.

    Could it be his weight and training?

    He started at 267, fought as low as 251, and as high as 279. He certainly looks a bit soft at times.

    Nah man. He just sucks. Miller, Kownacki, Fury, Ruiz all showed a lot carrying extra weight.

    Yeah dead right. He's lucky to still be undefeated as well to tell you the truth and struggled for large parts of his last fight against Devin Vargas of all people. He better cash out while he can imo.
