    Its rare for japanese, as a matter of fact, asians, to go up as high as middleweight and be succesful. Now this kid, ryota murata won gold at the olympics and just made his succesful pro debut. How would this kid fare against today's top middleweights??? given the right pro fights to buildup his experience first...

    hard to say.....if history tells us anything its that asians just are not successful in the higher weights.... but history also tells us that things change and he could become a force at middleweight and win titles..... just too early to say, but winning a gold medal is a nice start
