    A short list off the top of my head, probably missed a lot

    Some are obviously older than others. I've excluded boxers who have held a title or fought for a title already and included mostly stand out amateurs.

    Either Dubois or Hrgovic from what I've seen. Some of the other might change my mind once they rise up through the ranks more.

    Hrgovic by a considerable margin. Didn't DDD and his team bring in Hrgovic for sparring and sent him home soon after because Filip repeatedly dropped and eventually spark-out KO'd DDD with 20 ounce gloves? I know its just sparring and getting dropped -- even hard -- happens in sparring, but getting put straight out unconscious by your sparring partner wearing 20 ounce mitts........ That might be a good indication that at the very least some serious kinks have to be ironed out.

    I didn't even know that, but just reinforces my impression of each guy's relative level. :thumbsup:

    Gorman won every round in the sparring against Dubois. When they fought for real , Dubois decimated him.

    How do you about about him getting layed out by Hrgovic?

    I first heard the rumour about Hrgovic KO'ing Dubois in sparring from Hatman in one of his videos and Tom Little also claims Hrgovic bashed Dubois up in in the gym too. I don't know if it's true and maybe it isn't but I don't get the impression Little's lying about it.


    ''If Daniel Dubois wants to tell the truth, Hrgovic did a lot of damage to him with a pair of 18oz gloves on. Like a LOT worse damage than I got done to me (by Hrgovic).

    Little trying to keep himself relevant and get himself future fights.

    I'm partisan as have family friends who have connections to Dubois but that doesn't mean he doesn't very much look the part at this stage of his career.

    Because it was a big deal and Little and a load of other fighters were talking about it. Theres no winning rounds in sparring. Guys are brought in because they fit a certain profile, skills at, or ability and are there to provide a look. Its not uncommon for hired sparring partners to get the better of the hiring party, they were brought in so a fighter could get better. Its extremely alarming however, when a sparring partner repeatedly drops another fighter in a session, eventually leaving him out on the floor -- earing 20 ounce gloves. Thats NOT supposed to happen. Gloves that size were made for that reason.

    There's a difference between outboxing someone who's a puncher with big ass gloves in sparring and knocking someone clean out in sparring.
