Anybody with 16 fights and only 34 rounds of professional boxing (with only 40 fights in his amateur career) is still a prospect... Joshua only went beyond 3 rounds in 1 fight.. into the 7th round.. He just fought his first southpaw and it lasted 4 minutes.. He might be the best Heavyweight in the world already but his game can certainly get a lot better... his jab smoother... his feints trickier... his defense tighter.. his footwork more precise... his bag of tricks a lot deeper.. He's basically been coming out and beating the living crap out everybody and knocking them dead in a couple rounds.. If a veteran like Ortiz gets him in trouble he may need to call on more than he has at the moment.foxdog1923 wrote:Like a Boss wrote:AJ is an excellent prospect.
Senad Gashi might amount to something. It's early days but he's worth keeping an eye on.asdfjkl wrote:Question is, what's your definition of a prospect? Is AJ still a prospect? If he is, then what's Tyson Fury?
For the less famous guys:
That black Polish guy that works with Parker, that rank 1 Chinese guy, Tyrone Spong, Oscar Rivas, all the Germans that fight on 4 june, Senad Gashi
His opponent is the guy who was training in Furys camp, Agit Kabayel. Why do you think tht Lesandowsk is a better prospect?Straight Nasty wrote:1 Oleksandr Teslenko (Ukraine) 4-0 (3)

these are the guys I rate.. Schwarz and Lewandowski fight this weekend against undefeated opponents
Yes he will. Thank you for saying it.tigermoth87 wrote:Nathan Gorman will be a world heavyweight champ.

It's hard to call somebody who's a world champion a prospect.. Then you look at his experience and realize his game couldn't possibly be at where it's going to go with 8 or 10 more fights.. That's one reason you don't grab a world title so quickly.. Davey Moore grabbed a world title when he had something like 8 pro fights.. Roberto Duran immediately targeted him.

Right... Or 43 maybe... The Klitschko Bros had like 200 each. Wladimir had technical problems and looked like crap for about 40 pro fights.scallum2015 wrote:He only had 40 Amateur fights?
They both suck big time... Maybe you didn't see the Parker-Takam fight.. Parker showed great endurance and chin, but he got unloaded on.Tony1244 wrote:The next champ is Hughie Fury Seriously though he moves really well.Regarding the HW prospects without a belt I only rate Parker above him.

Well... they need to improve one HELL of a lot... Anthony Joshua or Luis Ortiz would destroy them.. Wilder would beat them, maybe not wreck them.Tony1244 wrote:Kalan wrote:They both suck big time...

I haven't seen Parker-Takam yet. Holyfield and Joe Louis got unloaded on and they were pretty good. Keep in mind how young Parker and Hughie still are. It remains to be seen how much, if any, they improve.
