Gee, when you lay it out like that, it's pretty sad alright.
I give Aggiejabbie a pass on this fight due to the injury, and hope he gets back on track next year- all going well. Back injuries are one of the trickiest to get a handle on.
As for the rest of them, and I bundle the older Joe Joyce into your grouping, they better pull finger
Thanks, I corrected my error. I misnamed Joe Joyce as "Joe Jacobs" and at age 34 Joe needs to be busier than the other 2016 Olympic HW prospects.
Ironically, Joyce's last bout was a week before Efe's most recent bout so his inactivity is more problematic than all the others mentioned above!!

It's a step down from Demirezen but after Ajagba's injury pullout a few months ago it's at least good to see Efe back in action. The 5-month layoff is by far the longest of Ajagba's career so at least he's back in action.
What is frustrating is that most of the HW prospects from the 2016 Olympics have been hampered by inactivity:
Ivan Dychko 9-0 No bouts scheduled
Filip Hrgovic 9-0 Next bout 12/7
Joe Jacobs 10-0 No bouts scheduled (EBU challenge mandated)
Tony Yoka 7-0 No bouts scheduled
Bakhodir Jalolov 6-0 (Back to competing as amateur)
Efe Ajagba 11-0 Next bout 12/21
Ali Demizeren 11-1 No bouts scheduled
Demirezen is also injured, set to be back in February of 20.

Ajagba looked poor against that Kebab shop worker, I don't him as one of top HW prospects
You mean the former Olympian who has a win over Tony Yoka in the wbs?
That kabob worker?
Get the fug out of here
Merely being an 'Olympian' somehow makes you legit does it lol! Just Qualifying for the Olympics and going out in the first round isn't much to shout about. For example, Clayton Laurent Jr and Eric Pfeifer were Olympians in the same Super heavyweight field in 2016 who are pros now, yet no boxing fans talk about them because they are no good and aren't gonna do anything( the same as the kebab boy)
And btw Tony Yoka lost to almost every top 50 amateur lol he had a long list of amateur losses.
David Haye had tons of hate and criticism from British fans following his toe gate, he was certainly nothing close to being uniformally supported by 'the Brits'
