    I think Hrgovic is the best SHW amateur in the world and the one who is best suited for the pros. I also think he's the most sturdy of those four. Yoka and Joyce have been stopped/knocked out a couple of times, Dychko has been brutally KO'd too. Whereas I don't even think Hrogovic has been down or lost inside the distance. He's always displayed a very stout beard. They're all huge guys and very decorated amateurs though so who knows.

    Yeah I thought that perhaps Hrgovic would be the one most likely to do something in the pros. Joyce is too old imo to end up doing much of note and as you said he doesn't seem to have the durability, which is surprising considering his fighting style. Yoka hasn't got much of a chance due to his lack of durability, like you said.

    I'd have to watch it again to be honest. At the time I thought Hrgovic nicked it. Pretty sure it's on YT on the Olympic boxing channel. I think you'd have to search for that particular session it was in though.

    Joyce has got an insane engine on him and his style definitely suits the pros. His durability is a concern though.

    Yoka's good but again I'm not sold on his punch resistance.

    I might have a look at that tomorrow in that case. I'm just not convinced by Yoka yet, not even by his boxing ability, let alone things like power and chin.

    Seems reasonable enough to me.

    Edit: Wait, I thought he's younger than 30, then yeah, he should move up in a year or two.

    There is no glory in dominating the wasteland that is the heavyweight landscape for all the wealth in the world.

    Usyk fights for the glory and honor of being undisputed cruiserweight champ regardless of ending up pennyless and brain damaged.

    Loool Joshua is now the money man so the "hardcore fans" must hate on him only because casuals love him.

    I like Usyk but while he's still in that horrible CW division I can't see how you can say with certainty that he can beat the now somewhat proven Joshua.

    Actually it'll be on the AIBA channel not the Olympic one. I'm getting confused it was in the World Amateur championships not the Olympics
