Been following him in the amateurs for sometime and he recently turned pro and looks absolutely deadly. A more compact and mobile Beterbiev. He obviously has a lot of work to do or he'll end up like Bektemir, but the potential is clearly there. Here he is literally steamrolling his Korean opponent in his third pro fight.​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90jOuyPD7yw Here is a ridiculous KO he had during the Tokyo olympics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV9pAJIXAHM

I know people like to bring up Deontay Wilder and the fact he medaled at the Olympics in 3 years, but even Deontay trained for 13 years before fighting a live body (Ortiz). Adonis started boxing at age 27 and became a world champ in under 7 years of training at a competitive weight class. Does being a relatively athletic guy all it takes to be successful in the heavier weight classes these days.

Excluding Women's Boxing or Male Heavyweight due to lack of talent pool.

Danyelle Wolf who won US Nationals and recently signed with the UFC after winning her debut MMA match. During her fight week she along with numerous other Male MMA guys were tested at the UFC performance institute. Unsurprisingly she punched harder than all her male colleagues including the "heavy handed" Dustin Poirier who recently KTFO Conor Mcgregor. They even gave Poirier 15 attempts to match Danyelle's score and even then he struggled to match her raw power. Honestly not surprised as most MMA guys are glorified bar brawlers and skinheads but hilarious nonetheless. Everyone who thought Ngannou would punch harder than Wilder must feel stupid now. I would bet that Beterbiev hits much much harder than feather fisted Ngannou. https://youtu.be/u2rXuAAakZE?t=330
