Andrew Selby and Fred Evans

[WelshJack]

Selby said last night he'll turn pro when the money is right and Evans said in August he would soon. Anyone know why they are sticking to amateur seems strange to me.

They earn decent money, have world class resources (facilities, support staff etc), and can try and become an Olympic champion.

Andrew Selby will be a genuine superstar in the pro ranks. Absolutely nailed on. If it was possible to buy shares in a prospect I'd buy some now !

He won't. He is neither good enough, big enough or a big personality. I don't see any of of the 2012 boys becoming superstars. Including AJ.

I'm not doubting that, it was the genuine superstar bit I disagree with.

Think AJ could be, his coming into the pro ranks as the klitschos are coming to an end ! If his not rushed he could be a superstar around about 2016/17 IMO, he has it all

[Andrew]

I saw a couple of Selbys fights in WSB and was impressed suprised he hasn't turned over yet.

Evans got beat up pretty bad by a Ukranian all the fights are on WSBs youtube channel.

Wlad will be around for awhile longer. Anyway, surely Joshua will just be fighting weak opposition if he beats the current crop of heavyweights? Or does that only apply when the Klitschko's are doing it....

I think AJ can definitely be a star. It's not nailed on but he's a gold medalist which always help, seems to have the right attitude and tools, and lets face it, it's a poor division that could be dominated by someone like AJ with his speed and power. If he sorts his movement out and keeps improving I think he could well be a star. He's the kind of personality that sponsors will fight for, you can imagine him fronting Adidas TV ads, posters for example and that kind of thing works wonders for profiles.

Wlad can only fight who's out there, I hope wlad does fight the so called best around, but that's pulev, fury, wilder, and chisora.......

They earn decent money, have world class resources (facilities, support staff etc), and can try and become an Olympic champion.

£30k a year tax free Lottery Funding, sponsored car, free board and meals etc in Sheffield, free travel around the world, free resources (dietician, coaches, physio etc) and no trainer / manager / promoter percentage to pay.

As a pro his top line earnings would have to be at least £100k a year just to get what he gets now - and at the lower weights the money isn't there.

[SamWise72]

I think Pulev has Wlad's number.

[Newport Daz]

I think Pulev has Wlad's number.

07724 258852 ? That's the number he gave me

He is fantastic. His style is suited to the pro ranks, I might have got a bit giddy saying success is "absolutely nailed on" but he is very, very good I would pick him to go all the way and become a major British attraction.

Hello hater. How the hell is Andrew Selby not good enough? :?? :??

selby will be the Calzaghe/Froch of his generation.

Elite talent. World silver medalist, European gold x 2, olympic quarter finals, undefeated in WSB, world number 1.

He's a special talent, who will defo be a star in the pros. I don't understand how you can hate a top british talent like that, is it jealousy or what?

I agree, but he will never be a superstar.
