    All three are on the verge of world title shots.

    who do you think has the most chance of winning a world title and breaking into the top 5 at welterweight?

    Besputin and it's not even close imo. Don't get it twisted, I like all 3 but the other two are a league or two below Besputin in probably evdry quantifiable trait, and maybe more. I'm pretty sure Besputin and Kavaliauskas share the same manager and trainer, and they both train in the same gym in Oxnard so its a safe bet they've sparred a ton of rounds together and by now probably know each other very well in and out of the ring.

    I'd probably agree, but I can see them all doing well. Besputin reminds me in style of fighting to Lomachenko and Pacquaio.

    Kavaliauskas is a real good finisher, when he gets them hurt he knows how to get them out of there.

    Ya absolutely I can roll with that. I love his speed and angles. Id without hesitation classify him as a special and elite prospect, one of the best in all of boxing. And sorry if what I wrote made it seem like I didnt think the other two would have much success as pros, I'm not the brightest guy and have a hard time articulating my thoughts. I.do think both will have good to very good careers, maybe even better than that, you nwver know. But I just don't think they have the talent, athleticism, skill, or pedigree that Besputin does. I think Besputin could end up being a HOF'er without hesitation, maybe even ATG if he is managed well enough, matched well as he still develops and continues to improve and reach his potential. Good thread.

    In terms of physical attributes and style to a large extent Besputin reminds me of Korobov.
