    Video of Dychko's recent Olympic dominating 14:4 win over the highly rated German Erik Pfeifer in his first boxing match at the London Olympics.

    At 21 and 6ft 9 with the skills and footwork to match for me Dychko looks the most likely to become the next huge star in the heavyweight division. By that I don't just mean a mere belt holder I think this boy can take the lot. A Lot will depend when he turns pro though. Already having just won bronze at the recent 2011 World Amateur Championships losing to the eventual winner Magomedrasul Majidov while putting up a game performance. In these games I expect him to at least win bronze with him seemingly by far too great a force for his quarter final opponent Kean Simon from Canada. Which then could set up a semi final meeting with Anthony Joshua who I think Dychko could hammer and beat by 10 pts, but would that be enough to win?

    After the games does he turn pro or does he wait another 4 years to compete again? Personally I would love to see him turn pro regardless of how he does in these games. Come another 4 years and he could be something like 20-0-0 or 30-0-0 and on the verge of a title shot with both Klitschko retired or at least on the verge of retirement.

    Magomedrasul Majidov might just be a slight level above him now but I feel due to his young age Dychko will soon be well ahead of him if not already. He's already made giant leaps since last years semi final defeat to Majidov.

    Ivan Dychko will be a pro World champion before his 30th birthday.

    He impressed me too. Exceptional movement & reflexes for such a tall guy. Dychko adapted the Klitschko style very well as an amateur.

    I think he will make it to the final.

    Pro? Sure. Please in America.

    Pfeifer is a tough SOB. That's a good win for him.

    he's pretty skinny I think a big heavy would ko him.

    6'9" 201lbs.

    he got stopped in the first round by Joshua after Joshua caved his nose in at the last tournament, and apparently now joshua is ****, so pheipher must be complete trash

    He's only 21 though. I reckon in a proper pro environment and within 3-4 years he'll bulk up to a fighting weight of around 225-230 lbs which would be a good fighting weight for the guy..

    He has a good chin. And he is way heavier than 201 lbs. Don't know where you got that.

    He looks to be an amazing talent. He has such good footwork and balance for some of his height. Reminds me a lot of Vitali with his lateral movement, low hands, and his swaying backwards from the waist. Potentially he could be of a Klitschko talent level.

    Joshua is much better than this guy.

    If Dychko, Joshua, Omarov and Magomed Medzhidov all turn pro after the games, we could have an incredibly strong heavyweight division in a few years.

    :patsch

    Brittards: You gotta feel sorry for them by now :-(

    Glassjaws, British robberies, no Champion in any division.

    Truly tough times for deluded Brits.
