Name your dark horse prospect...here is mine.

My vote goes to Matthew Griego out of New Mexico. His promoter hasn't done enough for him, but hopefully he starts getting better fights this year. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/745784 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu4VUbG9kO0 Hope you don't mind if I embed that for ya? I think folk are more likely to watch it that way.

Im not sure he still qualifies as a 'prospect' considering hes 29 but as he's only had 7 fights but as a dark horse in the HW divsion ill go with Arslanbek Makhmudov, the man looks like an absolute monster with terrifying power. his last fight agaisnt the usually very durable Avery Gibson, who the likes of Teslenko, Kean, Cojano, michael hunter and Dinu could not put a dent in. What do they feed those boys in the Caucasus you reckon? :lol1:

I agree he is still pretty raw but damn does he have some tools that can be developed.

Joshua buatsi. I'm was thinking of Buatsi myself, but he's kinda on the radar already - at least among the hardcore fans. Mind you, so is Shohjahon... Anyways.. I ain't had the time to follow that many prospects recently, but Mr Pigford was brought to my attention earlier this year: 14 (13) and 0 and only 25 years old... probably about time he stepped up a lil, but he came back last December after 18 months inactivity and supposedly fights again in March. https://www.frankwarren.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Joe-Pigford.png https://www.***************.net/2019/02/08/joe-pigford-alongside-ricky-hatton-returns-ring-march-30/ (world boxing news)

he looked very one dimensional and limited in his last fight.. I agree he is still pretty raw but damn does he have some tools that can be developed.

Another sub 100 post user making a thread about how some unknown russian fighter is going to be the next best thing in boxing. This is getting tiring honestly... You got an opportunity here to showcase your dark horse prospect - the talented kid you reckon could go all the way and instead choose to moan about someone else's choice... that not a bit negative do you think? Is there something wrong with letting other boxing fans know about guys you think are promising and worth a look over? Something wrong with getting enthused about young prospects? I'd rather that than 90% of the pointless bickering that goes on around here.

Not Ryan Garcia. lol

lol now you've confirmed it

you sound like an idiotNo, this is a common pattern I've observed. You sound like his manager or very close relative.

I can see the comparison although Bivol squares up a little more in front of this opponent. What strikes me about this kid is the murderous volition on his punches. They come with a speed that ****s you up if you are not ready for it. He also punches from a pretty balanced stance which means he is a good counter puncher, with the kind of speed and power he has he is a PROBLEM for anyone in these two weight divisions. He is 5'10" and can probably make a decent junior middle.

Looks like a southpaw Dmitry Bivol
