Best Non-American Lightweight prospects?

Post by Steel City »

These young american lightweight prospects ( Lopez, Haney, R Garcia,)are getting rammed down oyr throat right now like as if they are the new Duran-Leonard-Hagler-Hearns. The US media are really trying to manufacture the lightweight division into the new glamour division.

Surely theres good lightweight prospects from other countries

Gary Cully (Ireland)
Denys Berinchyk (Ukraine)
George Kambosos Jr (Austrailia)
Elnur Abduraimov (Uzbekistan)
John Joe Nevin (Ireland)
Viktor Kotochigov (Kazakhstan)
Sean Mccomb (Ireland)
Shuichiro Yoshino (Japan)

Do any of them deserve to be mentioned with the silver spoon yankboys? I think Cully is very good, and Berinchyk is solid.

Is there anyone else?

This is your second anti-American thread.

Lopez is already like the #2 lightweight and just blasted out somebody way better than anyone those guys have beaten, hardly a prospect being rammed down us. Not a yank fluffer at all but if each of those 3 fought everyone you listed there'd hardly be a loss between them

The non-US talent at lw and the talent in general just isn't that good outside a few guys. My fave is James Tenny but he's not a threat at world level

The US media couldn't care less about boxing. You are daft.

I'm sure there are are many decent prospects but I am positively drooling at the prospect of watching fights between Davis, Lopez, Haney, Garcia or any of them against Loma.

Maybe the lightweight division isn't quite as exciting as the middleweights you alluded to, or when you had Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Cuevas, Palomino etc all competing at welterweight, but it'll do for me if the fights actually get made, and the fact they are mostly American bothers me not at all.

Does the US media even cover boxing news?
I only hear of boxing on interviews on espn or fox sports when there's a ppv.
Boxing is just not covered

Sean Mccomb (Ireland) looks good , big got skill moves well , looks like he has heart aswell cut early one of his last fights.
always rated john joe by far the best but he aint the same after the injuryes he has had . not sure about cully i feel could come unstuck with his low hands , but i think in a couple of years he will be promising , he will be naturaly bigger, aswell he moves well, i just feel he is open to a big shot

You are correct. I can't remember the last time a boxing event was covered on a sports segment on network news.

Maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Even ESPN which is all sports, all the time only gives Boxing any attention when it's on their network basically.

95% of fights don't get acknowledged at all on ESPN. As for regular news. Forget it.

Hell for that matter, in times like these the news of the world don't even get reported. It's just taken over by "Corona AHHH! AHHHH! Run! This is gonna be the end!"
