    Hunter did beat Rivas in 2008 but that guy doesn't look like Hunter to me and all those people celebrating his victory in the crowd definitely don't look American either. I could be wrong but I think that guy is from a Caribbean, South, or Central American country.

    But like I said when the Usyk fight was announced, Hunter was a quality amateur and he beat some good guys and gave a good account of himself in his loses against Beterbiev, Islam Timurziev and Tyson Fury both of whom were much naturally bigger than him.

    Hunter claims he actually stopped Fury, or rather he should have a stoppage victory over him.

    Actually, Hunter stopped fit Andy Ruiz Jr.....I think he weighed at 230 pounds for that amateur fight, maybe less.

    If anyone in that clip is Michael Hunter, it's the guy going down.

    And I don't even think that's him.

    Michael Hunter looks nothing like the guy scoring the knockdown.

    Might as well call the video - Frazier stops Foreman. (LOL)

    If we speak about how Hunter Jr decaptivated Ruiz JR thna I can tell that Ruiz was in blazing shape for that fight. So the result adds even more to who Hunter Jr is.

    Doesn't look like him at all.
    Looks tall and skinny and a bit too dark.

    Ytalo Perea is very unlikely to have fought Oscar Rivas in an official amateur match either, since Rivas was a couple of weight divisions above him at the time Rivas turned pro, and Perea was very young.

    If this was 2008, then Perea would have been 15.

    Perea is an amateur star that hasn't been handled well as a pro.

    Hes fighting Bakole on a Matchroom card coming up
