    Seems like they nearly all turned pro and the guys remaining were Bronze medal contenders /nothing special.

    Yeah, I would not sleep on those "Bronze medal contenders /nothing special". Let's not forget where Deontay Wilder currently stands.

    Just because they won bronze or silver doesn't mean they can't be great in the pro ranks nor does it mean they're not better pros than the gold winners.

    Look, Audley Harrison won ****ing gold, enough said

    Frazer Clarke and Viktor Vikhrist are two of the first that spring to mind. They're both talented and ones to keep an eye on when they do decided to turn over. Clarke has had plenty of experience sparring the likes of AJ, Joe Joyce, Dubois etc.

    Clarke is decent but if they were all still amateurs he'd be 3rd in line, or 4th.

    I'd keep an eye on American Richard Torrez (won the Chemistry Cup 2018 and this year's Strandja Memorial) and Justis Huni (2016 Youth World Champion, has been sparring AJ) from Australia.
