I'm looking for candidates to run my next Prospect focus thread on, so if anyone's got any special requests I'm more than happy to do 'em.
Already done Israil Madrimov and Browny Matias (who unfortunately got served his first L about 3 days later.:lol1:)

Since I already done a Central Asian and a Perto Rican my preference would be to spread it around a bit... maybe a US fighter, Castro, Simpson or Colbert, or someone from the UK, possibly Dubois (though I was maybe thinking someone less known) Buatsi or Essuman... or maybe a Mexican - could do the Garcia Kid but I'm thinking he's already well on most radars.
Anyone know much of Marc Castro? Think its going to be announced hes signed with Matchroom this week. Ton of accolades according to his bio 17xnational champ, 2xworld youth champion. Yet I dont think Ive seen him mentioned once on here. Beaten Keyshawn Davis 3 times who I have seen people raving about, weird.
Dont know the age of every boxer and cant bother.
I like Buatsi at 175, Madrimov 154, Ennis 147, Matias 140 (Although he graduated to fringe contender status after beating Dadashev).
Tough list to keep it under 25 and never won a major belt...
Ryan Garcia
Serhii Bohachuk
Aaron McKenna
Ortiz Jr.
Malik Hawkins
Brandon Fig.
Ruben Villa
Joseph Adorno
Dubois
Lubin
In a few days the 2020 Boxing Summer Olympics Qualifications start.
Andy Cruz take Gold from Cuba and he's only 24?
Not fair but the Cubans like Erislandy Savón at 29 should take Gold at HW
In fact Cuba has a LOT of good boxers competiting.
Infact cuba does but the US has more
C’mon. There must be some Polak flying under the radar. There is always one.
I cannot see one, alas. Still believing in Kownacki though, not as a prospect but future belt holder if they give him a chance.
Its going to be real tough knowing about a guy under 10-0 that wasnt known as an amatuer. Most the amatuers Ive listed are performing well as a pro, even Yeleussinov who didnt look good with the transistion is starting to come good.
It is but you’re the only one to come even relevant to this post.. The fact you named ams doe
Lot of of good ams dont mean **** as a pro

I already know.. but you not here making threads for any of these guys
Teofimo and Devin already got titles, man. We extending the remit to include all top tier young fighters or is it just actual prospects?
I don’t want to hear any champions or guys who are 30+
What are we thinking as prospects here? Are we thinking about guys like Subriel, Ryan Garcia or Victor Ortiz...young guys who ain't got titles yet but are being groomed for the title shots and top slots by major promotions and already pretty well known, or are we talking about the more obscure guys who maybe fewer posters have on their radars like Simpson or Yeleussinov?
There's already a coupla guys with lists on here, but I can get going throwing up some footage and brief bios or whatever if you say what sort of guy you're talking about. You got any particular names in mind?

In HW - Baha Jalolov, 25 y.o, 6'7 southpaw from Uzbekistan, well, the whole uzbek Olympic team are top prospects - Melikuziev, Madrimov, Ergashev, Giyasov, all southpaws or changing stances, all pro-style type of boxers with power

In HW - Hrgovic, unfortunately. He can be a great HW, however, he has to have at least 2 fights without fouls to make me root for him. Dubois could be as well but I see Joyce stopping him though. Ajagba - maybe, but I am not convinced 100%.
