    Which of these former Rio 2016 Olympians will go the furthest and have the most illustrious careers in your opinion, based on talent and the eye test so far?

    Dychko has the most raw talent. Hrgovic looks the steadiest, most sure thing as far as talent, not as high a ceiling as Dychko but a higher floor, and looks to be promoted better than Dychko. Joyce looks to have the best combination of talent and profile/promotion. Roughly as talented as Hrgovic but has a better profile starting place, and arguably better promotion. When it all shakes out, I'd pick him as being seen as the best, even if its not fully deserved. He'll get the best opportunities.

    Joyce will be the first to get a title shot, probably in a year or two.

    Tentatively Hrgovic.

    Joyce will have too short of a career arc.
    Yoko already with PED problems
    Dychko going nowhere fast. Poor managment.

    I don't know Ajagba that well, and there is a reason for that.

    Right now, a bit underwhelmed by the group, even after Saturday.

    I will never be sold on Joyce, I always have the images of Usyk schooling him in amateurs in my head.

    IMO none will win a world champ if wilder and joshua continue to hold the belts

    they are all decent but do not have any wow factor that you look at them and say yep definatley got a shot at beating a top 3 fighter

    Dycho was basically 0-0 last time I checked, had fought literally nobody of merit. Yoka's a big neg. Joyce is interesting but time is against him. I think i'll stick with Hrgovic.

    Joyce is the boogeyman, he reminds me a bit of George Foreman with less power but better workrate, just a huge durable guy bludgeoning opponents into oblivion, he will leave a path of destruction in the heavyweight division for the next 8 years :D.

    Hrgovic is easily the best, but Sauerland isn't a good promoter so that is a concern

    Ajagba might become a top contender, time will tell.

    Dychko really isn't very good, nor is Yoka. Both will likely be contenders, but not in the top 5 at heavyweight. Joyce is really nothing special, and will likely be another KO win for Joshua in the future.

    Agreed Hrgovic looks the best but Joyce will probably be maneuvered into title contention quicker.

    Joe doesn't really do it for me stylistically but he is a big, well conditioned man..he may well just bludgeon his way to the tippy top.

    Hrgovic and Joyce will both lose to Joshua.

    Joyce has a style that will trouble Hrgovic himself...

    Joyce will have less fights maybe but overall can get some better guys on his resume then Hrgovic .

    Fans acting like Joyce is ready to part ways with boxing soon makes ZERO sense too.... its like they stopped watching boxing after the 80's and im assuming 90% on here didn't even watch boxing live in that era anyway ?

    Joyce has a good 5 year strong run and will not have peaked until 2021.

    All roads lead to Joshua so I think its Joyce who will have the less losses against better opposition in all likelihood.

    Ryabinsky needs to sign him up if he hasn't already.
