    I think he has no chance against likes of Joyce, Romanov, Dychko, Kuzmin, Gimbatov, Kean. These guys will be in contention in the future and Yoka is the weakest one by far.Yoka has no power, skinny as hell and has a weak jaw, these are big disadvantages comparing him to guys, I mentioned.

    Derimizen knocked him out why you think he can't do that in pro ranks as well?

    It's way too early to say if he will.

    As said, gift decision after gift decision. His victories in both the Olympic semi and final were daylight robbery. As I understand it from others he's a history of similar good fortune going through other am competitions too (same as his wife). Can't remember exact details but recall there being very suspicious links between higher-ups at AIBA and the French, which were being spoken of quite widely at this time last year.

    Either way, Yoka won't get far at all in the pro's. He's mediocre. Ordinarily I'd hesitate in referring to any Olympic champ in that way but Yoka's gold was blatantly illegitimate.

    Ah, ok. That's a sad read but not to uncommon, even more sad.

    He has the potential to become a world champion in a glass chin competition

    I am sure he could pick up a vacant belt by luck .. I mean if stiverne can become a world champions I don't see why yoka can't. how ever I don't see him ever being a longterm champion.
