    Most of those fighter will stay in amateur (mostly Eastern Europeans mostly) maybe a few in the upper weight classes, fighters like Selimov have been amateurs for an eternity. In the lower weight class the only fighter I see making a splash is Cintron. Europeans don't do well in those classes not to much competition in Europeans just like Latinos don't do well on the bigger weights not to much competition.

    isn't 2016 Olympics open to pros as one of the last sports to finally go there?!

    So I suspect it will all be very different, with no actual amateur winning one of the bigger medals.
