    Honestly couldn't there are a few guys i don't know, haven't followed it as much since 2013 and im not much for p4p lists in general. Didn't even know about Normatov until the Fowler fight.

    Edit - Levit, Yeleussinov, Alimkhanuly, Mytrofanov, Niktin, are a couple of my personal favorites even though the last two are probably outsiders to even medal they'd make great pros. I don't think Tishchenko is that great, Egorov would definitely be the better pro.

    Fowler looks to cut really easily. That fragile skin of his might be a big problem in the pros. I saw a couple of his recent fights in the WSB and he got cut in both of them. One of them was against that Normatov guy who fights for the Ukraine Otamans. I was impressed by him. He beat one of the Cubans in good style in an earlier match too.

    I'v watched Khizhnyak since he was a junior but havent for the last year or since since he's really become regarded as world class. Only seen one of his WSB fights from this season i love his style, combinstions and handspeed but still think he needs to improve on his footwork especially if he plans to do anything against La Cruz.

    I also really hope Ward puts it together and finally does something on the world stage he's got top shelf talent but keeps failing to really prove much up to this point when the chips are down.

    i don't know about that he got split open with a headbutt then had too fight two weeks after that and it re opened so i don't know about fragile skin

    Normatov the uzbek looks top class

    he looks class

    la cruz was beaten last time out in the WSB, he seems to be showboating way too much these days

    I thought there was a couple of months between those fights where he got cut. Might be wrong though. I'm sure it was at least a month though. He was cut in a couple of places IIRC.

    Normatov would make a good pro too, IMO.

    but once against china, then it re opened 2 weeks later against morocco then a 4 weeks against ukraine

    kind of glad normatov beat him, he was getting a bit full of himself

    I saw one of Khizhnyak's fights. It was against a Brit (can't remember the name now) and he stopped him in a couple of rounds. He's only like 19 or 20 or something isn't he? He looks really good and looks to pack a heavy dig as well. He'd definitely make a good pro.

    Wow, this Yeleussinov has a strange style to say the least.


    (reminds me of Ward a little)

    He does seem a little c*cky.

    well wins count towards olympics qualification so he didn't want to miss the fights. tbh the lionhearts are so poor they don't really have anyone else, although i would have liked to seen felix cash fighting
