    Hrgovic is 4-0, ranked 41st by Box Rec

    Yoka is 3-0, ranked 81st at Box Rec

    Joyce is now 2-0 ranked 155th at Box Rec

    Dychko 4-0 is ranked 257th at Box Rec

    Hrgovic to rate in the top 30 by the end of the year?

    Sooner.
    His latest opponent was already rated 43 and he just overtook him in their rankingsystem dropping the Irishman in the ranks. One decent win over a comparable opponent and he breaks the top30.
    So I'd say he will be inside the top30 around the summer.

    Dissapointed that Dychko isn't moving as fast as Hrgovic. IMO with his insane size, speed, volume punching combination he's got the most raw talent, if he could just control distance worth a damn. He's basically Tyson Fury without the fighter instincts.

    Well look who he signed with. I agree he's a bit like Tyson Fury ( when Fury is in shape ), though I think Dychko hits a little harder than Fury. Dychko's timing and accuracy are very good.

    He fights next in Miami. I just might check him out live. I don't think Dychko has the best raw talent of the bunch, but he is talented.

    Joyce is 32 years old....time is NOT his friend. All of the current world champions are younger than him.

    I wouldn't necessarily say Hrgovic is being fast tracked, too early to say that but he's been definitely made the most progress of the bunch and in my opinion so far looked the most impressive.

    Dychko has looked sloppy to me, maybe he's under performing because his opponents are so over matched but so far I'm not impressed.

    Yoka is probably the best natural athlete of the 4, but his lack of power and inside game at the pro level will likely prevent him from being a dominant champion.

    Joyce has been too inactive of late which is concerning. Sure he's trying to fight Chisora but he may regret signing with Haye if he can't get the fights to fast track him to a title shot before he gets too old.

    Hrgovic has the most natural potential. Yoka is really trying to be an Andre Ward heavyweight division but yeah he has good skills and a jab too.

    Don't expect much from Dychko or Joyce.. Euro level.

    If Joyce fights Chisora next, and wins, he will make up the leeway overnight.

    The Croatian is the most natural.

    Definitely. And Yoka hasn't been winning convincingly either.

    I already feel confident in saying that Yoka is not made for the pro game and won't achieve a lot there.

    his biggest possible win I think he could ever get is a victory over a old takam in 2-3 years from now...

    Luis Ortiz says that Joyce is just a youngster and has plenty of time on his side. :xmas2:

    I think Hrgovic lost to all of them Yoka, Joyce and Dychko as an amateur or?

    Impressive that he looks much better than the rest so far as a pro.
