    Say what you will about Beibut Shumenov, but it takes a special person to win a world title with no trainer and no amateur background.

    Now that Shumenov is has finally found a home with GBP, I wonder if he will begin to take advantage of the many resources around him and start training professionally?

    I'm interested to see how Shumenov improves in the next year. If he does he may very well still be very much in top contention for the upcoming LHW wars for unification.

    What do you think?

    I know, but I think he is genurine in his love for the sport, but as one trainer described him, spoiled.
    Being at GBP may prove to be a humbling experience, and maybe just what he needs to go full throttle.

    a man who has made it at life and already tasted a loss isnt gonna change up because he suffered another loss.

    mentally he is stubborn, gbp are not gonna dictate sh1t to a guy who is rich enough to buy their company

    Shumenov had an extensive amateur career. He was an Olympian and he won the Asian championships too, IIRC. But he was stopped by Chad Dawson (rsf3) in the World Junior Championships in 2000 and in a couple of rounds by the undefeated Cuban LHW prospect Sullivan Barrera too, who incidentally holds a win over Dawson.

    That's funny. I thought he didn't have a trainer in his corner to save the 10%. Still, with so many fighters in their company I don't think GBP is as cheap as you think. Since they are private owned they don't have to report their real worth so it's difficult to figure out what GBP's real value is, but it has to be in the hundreds of millions range.

    Al haymon pays his fighters from the profit of ppvs e.g. Mayweather's .

    16 fights in 7 years..... you would think he didnt have a promoter or manager as opposed to a trainer

    If Shumenov gets a real trainer he will improve a lot, no doubt about it......but Shumenov had not training, just trained himself and Hopkins could not come near hurting him, damn, Hopkins fighting a person off the street without any training at all. Kovalev would have knocked Shumenov out in the first round, so would Stevenson...........

    I think that short right hand in the 11th did hurt him a lot.
    The strange thing is, Hopkins could have connected with that punch a lot sooner in the fight but carries his opponents to a decision win.
    BHOP would have done the same to Stevenson & Kovalev.
