Future P4P STARS predictions thread

Haha I'm just following the advice of Dr. Z who's the resident Heavyweight expert around here. He even has a thread dedicated to them and believes that Surov & Zokirov are the BEST of the upcoming bunch and have the potential to win world titles and crack the p4p top 10 one day. Zokirov certainly has the amateur credentials (World Youth Gold & World Men's Silver) in addition to size, power and good movement. However, my only reservations about him are the fact that the other Uzbek Heavyweight giant (Jalolov) seems to have stagnated lately and looked horrible in his last fight. As for Thomas, I don't think he's anything special at all. We shall see. Thanks Here are my top 3 young amateur prospects age 20 Surov age 22 Zokirov age 20 Thomas

Never heard of them prior and can't say I was blown away with either but they was both more impressive than a whole lot of the HWs I see coming through today. Thomas could be interesting to once he fills out a little and gets his man strength. I don't want to say it was man vs boy but the size and strength advantage of the big Uzbek was evident.

Brian Norman - America - 24

Pat Brown - England - 25

I've decided to increase the age limit for upcoming prospects to 25yo because it's a nice cut-off point and to include this MONSTER below...

Jakhongir Zokirov - Uzbekistan - 22

I do think Zokriov is a future top ten ring magzine contender, but we have to wait a bit. At 240 LBS+ he is a bit heavy to be on the pound for pound scale. OK thanks...in that case I'll add him to the thread.

Yes that guy...do you think he's a future world champion and p4p star and should be added to this thread? The reason I ask is because you're the Heavyweight expert but I noticed that he lost his most recent fight plus the other Uzbek giant (Jalolov) looked absolutely AWFUL in his most recent fight. Having said that, Zokirov certainly does have all the attributes and accolades on paper. I do think Zokriov is a future top ten ring magzine contender, but we have to wait a bit.

I hope he wins the tournament too, not to dismiss Qumalli by any means, he is a puncher and is experienced so anything can happen but Mosqueda is displaying quite more against a wider array of opposition and is pretty notable puncher himself. The british narrator did seem to heavily back Powar, once he thought that Powar had bounced back quite well in the second round but once Mosqueda started to box more instead of being too aggressive he had then adjusted from round 4 to 6 being less prone to making mistakes and being reckless. The same commentator also he quite favored Ayubkhon Bakhtiyorov over Brandon Mosqueda, thinking the Uzbek was going to ouright dominate and surprise everyone. Actually Qamili has a <50% KO ratio so definitely ISN'T a puncher. As for Mosqueda, let's not forget that this tournament pits the best up and coming prospects against each other and if he isn't knocking them out, he's winning very wide decisions as both Powar and the Uzbek fighter found out. Therefore, he's definitely a special fighter and should blow through his opponent in the final. Re Powar, he definitely gave Mosqueda his toughest fight to date and won at LEAST one round if not two. I also believed that he dropped him but it was incorrectly ruled no knockdown.

Floyd Schofield - America - 23

Floyd Schofield, if no one has mentioned him. Great shout...his one round destruction of Tevin Farmer certainly put a lot of people on notice.

You mean Jakhongir Zokirov? He is giant size man who quickliy comming to his own. The very big heavyweight mature later. He is grade A prospect due his size, offensive skill, chin, and power. And he comes from a father who boxed. Either him or Surov are the best amaterus that should go pro.

Emiliano Vargas - America - 21

No mention of Emiliano Vargas? Def think he's bound for superstardom. Good shout...he looks like a future world champion and POTENTIAL p4p star (although not as good as Bam Rodriguez who I haven't mentioned as he's already cracked the p4p top 10).

Floyd Schofield, if no one has mentioned him.

Yes...his potential is scary for a 21yo with his attributes i.e. power, balance, athleticism, & explosiveness. I follow a Sikh boxer he faced called Gully Powar and was scouting Mosqueda before the fight and realised he was an elite prospect. In fact, I was surprised how the commentator's were downplaying his chances because I could see right off the bat he was special. Anyway, although Powar gave him his toughest fight to date, Mosqueda still won a clear decision and ONLY then did the commentator's start hyping him up (talk about being late to the party :rofl:). The way he broke down that lanky SA fighter over the weekend was impressive and I expect him to win the tournament. I hope he wins the tournament too, not to dismiss Qumalli by any means, he is a puncher and is experienced so anything can happen but Mosqueda is displaying quite more against a wider array of opposition and is pretty notable puncher himself.

Glad to hear that Z :) I've just watched some highlights of Surov and can see why you're so high on this kid...he has good size, balance, punch selection and moves around the ring very well. He also seems like an intelligent fighter who doesn't rush his work or go in all guns blazing. However, I DON'T think he's quite as good a prospect as Itauma or that Uzbek giant (not Jalolov) but would definitely put him right behind them. Good find! You mean Jakhongir Zokirov? He is giant size man who quickliy comming to his own. The very big heavyweight mature later. He is grade A prospect due his size, offensive skill, chin, and power. And he comes from a father who boxed. Either him or Surov are the best amaterus that should go pro.

Lmao...where the hell do you come up with these nicknames? :rofl:paneer amir rhymes;) hard to believe Timmeh ducked Paneer Amir but Timmeh did indeed do it
