    will have more world champions/world class pros than any other team from the olympics where it actually means something- in the pros.

    Spence is a beast so is Ramirez. Raushee is a sure bet for world title in a couple years. Diaz looks good too.

    my bad, I remember during his debut, they had put his WSB record on there and it said he had all KOs which I was very skeptical of atm. I guess they put the wrong info up

    That would make a lot of sense. I think I only saw one stoppage from the fights I've seen which wasn't much, but still was a decent amount of fights on the WSB.
    and Browne looks really good. Only think I was worry is what going on in his head from that effort he gave in the Olympics, but he's still young and can learn from it.

    Dont' know about the other two, but Ogogo looked horrible in his fight with the tomato can on Showtime. It was a boring fight, and with his opponent being outclassed, Ogogo still couldn't finish him.

    James Toney said these American Olympians were "absoloute garbage"

    Good thread. There's a slightly similar thread in European boxing too.

    You're misinterpreting my post. I meant outclassed as in Ogogo was on another level compared to his tomato can opponent. He's in a higher class than his opponent was, yet he still couldn't finish him. My mind is made up, but you're just misinterpreting me. Outclassed doesn't always equal outboxed.

    some guys that were standout amateurs but did not make the Olympic team and have gone pro:

    D'mitrius Ballard, super middleweight (2-0)
    Patrick Day, light middleweight (3-0)
    Gervonta Davis, featherweight (2-0)
    Jesse Hart, super middleweight (6-0)
    Tramaine Williams, featherweight (7-0)
    Kevin Rivers, featherweight (7-0)
    Jerry Odom, super middleweight (4-0)
    David Grayton, welterweight (4-0)

    Here's a name of a guy who is still amateur but who is crushing everyone in sight and winning every tournament: Erickson Lubin, 17 years old. File that name away.

    if you can watch spence and agree with that you're an idiot that don't know ****. ramirez is a beast too. Guaranted this crop will produce at least 3 world champions which will be more than any other team from these olympics.
