Scott Belshaw, 3-0 (3KOs)

Pretty decent heavyweight prospect.. I know him, that's the only reason i posted this thread really... I've talked to him and seen him hit the bags.. Holy ****, if he connects with anyone on the chin he'll spark them out. Really nice fella too, friendly as **** lol. I know it's far too early to say how far he'll go but with his power I think he'll go far. They're talking about getting him a fight with Kevin Mcbride (Tyson's last opponent). Not bad for someone with only 3 fights. I reckon he'll put Mcbride's nose through the back of his head.

Thats great to hear mate. i hope he go's far!

I'm always on the look out for new and exciting heavyweight prospects. My advice to this guy is; don't step up too quickly because a loss early on in a fighter's career can be a bigger setback mentally than if it happened later on. IMO, although Kevin Mccbride is coming off a huge loss, he could be potentially dangerous to an up-and-coming prospect who only has three wins under his belt. Keep in mind that he has over 30 wins in his career.

Also, keep in mind that, prospects who fight frequently usually generate more interest from the boxing public.

its easy to hit a bag hard but alot harder to hit a moving target with those blows before u get tired. reason why all hw fights arnt ended in k.os but thats good to hear,maybe he will be on espn so i can check him out

yeah, 3 fights is a lil early to go in with mcbride, he's had a lot more experience and fought enough good opposition to be dangerous to a guy with 3 pro fights. i'd love to see this kid knock mcbride the **** out, though

i say he should knock out a few more club fighters first, maybe some with better records, or ones who've been in against ONE elite guy and knocked the **** out

pete radamacher fought floyd patterson for the heavyweight title in his pro debut, i hardly think its a stretch to fight mcbride in your first 8-10

thats an example of a sleazy promoter trying to make some quick bucks at the expense of the lesser fighter.

Well, looking at two things right away that stand out is that he is only 21 years old and he is 6'7", 240. Not very often nowadays do we see a good heavyweight prospect of that age. A couple of question though: does he have any amateur fights? How long has he actually been boxing for? Trying to figure out what his background is, but the fact that he is that big and that young indicates some promise.

I know this Heavyweight pro, he's a great prospect
