    If you're thinking of Zou Shiming, he's at 106.

    Yeah, as Kolya pointed out, Warren has moved up in weight and is now one of the favorites to win gold this year.

    He failed to qualify, he won't be going to the Olympics.

    Are Zou Shiming (CHN) AG/WC, and Rau'shee Warren (USA) WC in the same divison for the Olympics or not? The web site I posted says they are.

    They're not. I don't know why Zou was listed at 112 on those ranking, as Zou was World Champion in Chicago at 106 and therefore automatically qualified at 106. I've heard he's had trouble making the weight, but there's no way he could bump up and fight at 112 when he's qualified at 106.

    Bumped for 2010. I would have to say Matt Krobov at middle looks like a future star.
     
  11. Raushee has been a dissapointment since the olympics. Shawn Estrada and Saddam Ali will fight their way to the top. Ali looks fkn good in his early years.

    Deontay wilder and Gary Russell Jr are both talents with most world champion potential.

    Danny Jacobs didnt make the team but since 08 he has shown certain victory.
