    LOL 'Best looking boxer ever' is a huge exaggeration. Gvozdyk is an excellent boxer but I wouldn't even have him in my top 10 current best looking- look at his ears, those are some weirdly shaped ears!!

    Eddie Hearn said the girls in the Matchroom office are lovestruck any time Felix walks in.

    Alvarez is probably the best looking ginger guy I've ever seen ha.

    And about Tyrone Mckenna, I double checked and you're right I got that wrong that was a blunder haha gonna edit him out of my list now :lol:

    Incredible that only a year or so ago that Hugie Fury was being tipped for greatness albeit not by me.

    You're a member of team Kessler is the best looking boxer ever aren't you? I'm a huge admirer of Mikkel's dashing good looks too and I do admit that a prime Kessler with those ice blue eyes, that chiseled jawline, breathtaking muscular physique and drop dead gorgeous smile does make it awfully close. And Kessler has those super cool tatts as well.

    Nothing wrong with OG's ears at all, if you really want to see a pair of weird ears you should go and have a gander at Marcus ''Hit 'Em When They're Down'' Browne's ears. Now those are some weird ears.

    Yeah I can well believe it, Cash's eyes are lush and he's got a real nice bod on him too.

    Nothing attractive about Clenelo at all. Horrible little man inside and out.

    :lol: Yeah I must confess I was bemused when I saw Mckenna

    I'd have to really think about it for best ever looking boxer. But Kessler would be up there for sure, & Sergio Martinez, Oscar De La Hoya when he was young.

    Drawing with the first subpar decent opponent he's faced and it should have been a draw, isn't a good look. While its too soon to write it off, its looking more and more like I might be right.:deal:

    It asked more questions then it answered actually... Perea is a tough order. But Tyrone dominated that fight... Perea just did not quit.

    We'll see what happens if Tyrone picks a more established contender next in top 20 or 15.

    Who knows maybe you will be right... and you can become like me... a master of predictions like with Dillian Whyte

    No, Tyrone rightfully eking out a SD that should have been a draw isn't dominating. And based on that performance, he might be at the losing end of a SD against a top 15-20 contender. He's skilled but, like with George Arias, who I really enjoy watching, his lack of power at the elite level and size will work against him. I doubt he'll ever hold a truly significant title.

    Maybe he won't hold a signficant title... but a regular title is within his reach.

    And you have no way to assess his power... you get fighters like Perea that are just very durable... and fighters that just don't go down even when against legit power punchers.

    So there is no basis for you scepticism on Tyrone Spong power...... we need more data... the answers are coming. I thought Tyrone boxed beautifully against a fighter with superior boxing experience.

    Hey CST80, let's update the list and put Dubois right up there, and bring Gorman all the way from "Good/Really Good - Might End Up Being Great, or at least Top 10." to --> So So/Average - They'll Be Decent Journeymen.

    Hrgovic, Makhmudov, Dychko, Jalolov, Sirenko, Teslenko, Yoka are the best HW prospects
    Dubois is decent he's better than I thought but I wouldn't say he's one of the best.

    Plus obviously there's Usyk and Gassiev if you class them as prospects

    Serious question but what's the difference between prospect and untried.

    Because Usyk isn't a prospect to me but is untried at heavyweight. He's an unified accomplished cruiserweight so I find it insulting to refer to him as a prospect.

    Mind you just my opinion

    You know this stuff much better than I do but I don't see Gorman, after seeing him fight for the first time last week against Dubois, as anything special AT ALL. He may have been undefeated but his punches were technically awful. I would put Ajagba and Hrgovic at the top and Usyk in your second category.

    This was a November 2018 post. Any chance for a July 2019 revision?
