Re: Who is the best young talent in boxing?
Europeans are often overlooked:
Konstantin Ponomarev (age 22)
Arif Magomedov (age 22)
Murat Gassiev (age 21)
Vincent Feigenbutz (age 19)
Tyron Zeuge (age 23)
Young heavyweights you've probably never heard of:
Adrian Granat (age 24)
Tom Schwarz (age 21)
Ruslan Faifer (age 24)
Ilja Mezencev (age 19)
Christian Lewandowski (age 22)
Agit Kabayel (age 22)

Ivan Baranchyk is probably the most talented little known prospect in boxing

Felix Verdejo is the real deal. As Ruben Guerrero would say

Zac Dunn had a big KO win tonight over Brazilian Rogerio Damasco.
A huge overhand right flush on the jaw, just over a minute into the first round, ended Damasco's night.

I just checked Mazion out, finished the guy off in this fight nicely. The right he took just prior was well taken but he needs to watch that going up in quality.Aaronide_ger wrote:Τravell Mazion is a future world champion 100% , Go check him out.
Sho Ishida
Alantez Fox (1.96 m Tall)
Ryota Murata
Javier Fortuna
Frankie Gomez
Jonathan Guzman
Dmitry Kudryashov (The next Big thing in the cruiserweight division.. KNOCKED OUT his best challenge in 1st round, Can easily become world champion)
Erickson Lubin
Jason Quigley

Re: Who is the best young talent in boxing?
Crawford Right now.
On the move and soon will be would be Spence no doubt. No one wants to fight this guy and that includes almost all the guys at 147. I thought he was dodging them but I was wrong they are dodging him. I think he beats all at 147 except Brook would be a really good one. And so would Porter. I think he beats all the rest. Some very easy.

Re: Who is the best young talent in boxing?
Sadly I don't remember his name but the guy in the US that sparred Lee Selby, he had good amateur pedigree too.
It was a documentary on Selby called 'Bad Boy Boxer; Last chance.
I'll watch it again to see who it was. I know it was only a spar, and the guy could have been heavier for all I know but he mugged Lee off as far as I could see.

Re: Who is the best young talent in boxing?
Verdejo looked quite pedestrian on Saturday, but that might be because Silva is a very slick defensive fighter. I did see Verdejo take a couple of flush shots. Still too early to tell how good his chin is as Silva isn't a big puncher.CrazyHorse wrote:Felix Verdejo is the real deal. As Ruben Guerrero would say

I guess it depends on what the cut off age requirement is. I technically wouldn't call 28 young!hoagylt wrote:Terrance Crawford and not close.

Re: Who is the best young talent in boxing?
Ok I've figured out who Lee Selby had trouble with in his spar.
It was Oscar Valdes so fair enough, he's SF too and a vicious fekker so not that much of a surprise. I wouldn't move up though Lee
