How do you rate Anthony ogogo?

Quigley will go a hell of a lot further I believe than Ogogo who will have to be matched very,very carefully.

Maybe I am wrong just don't see anything special in Ogogo.Many rate him I am not convinced at all on what I have seen.

 

That is a fact.:thumbsup

The one thing I would add though Ogogo will be VERY carefully matched if he can convince enough people to get behind him he may get a fair bit further than British level.Why you may ask?

I understand boxing is a business and as much about being protected than ability and can be engineered...Quigley I really like the look of made for the pro's.

 

Very possibly and the general casual boxing fan can easily have the wool pulled over their eyes!Hype them,then sink or swim,cash out fights and done gone on since the annals of boxing has begun....

 

I don't think he's as bad as some are making out. People seem to neglect the fact that Wayne Reed is a half decent fighter, not your average journeyman. He didn't look as though he was going to set the world alight on Saturday, but other prospects have looked worse at that level, and gone on to achieve good things.

The flurry at the end seemed combination of inexperience and desperation to impress. At seven fights in, it's far too early to draw such damning conclusions, especially whilst the guy's clearly still developing.

 

Getting british & European title fights will tell us a lot more than making judgements using the opposition he has been matched against so far

 

Any ****** knows that amateur and pro boxing are different sports and being a great amateur does not mean pro success.

Perfect example Henry Tillman, knocked Tyson out twice in Amateurs, Tyson blew him away less than one round in pros.

Another is our very own Audley.

Anyhow, too early to make too many proclamations about Ogogo, long way to go before we will know for sure. The rest is just speculation.

 

I do agree that some of his amateur performances may suggest that he may not reach great heights as a pro, but as we all know amateur success and pro success are not always positively correlated.

I also understand that judgements are not being made simply on that fight, but there has been lots noise since about how poor he looks, more so than I've seen when he's fought previously.

As it happens, I thought he looked awful in some of his earlier fights, but not quite so bad on Saturday. Perhaps I'm alone in that assessment, but to me all the sudden talk (not only this thread) about his bleak future seems to be poorly timed.

Just my minority opinion.

 

This will be fun.

What don't you agree with in my post?

Do you think amateur and pro boxing are the same?

I'll start off on an easy question for you.

 

Second question : do you think being a great amateur guarantees mean pro success?
