im very impressed with raynell(?) williams since i saw him in the golden gloves(even though he got robbed) and then he went on to win the u.s championships, he reminds me a lot of vernon forrest...

luis yanez is very good too, but i think his style is a little too made for amateur boxing and would have some problems if he decides to turn pro....

Cubans and Eastern European are kicking ass in the amatuers.

I dont think if any of the US boy are going to bring gold but see some could bring some medals

Deontay Wilder is a really interesting fighter at heavyweight. Heavyweight in the amateurs is 201 and under, and he is something like 6'8" fighting at that weight. He won the US Golden Gloves and I think the US Championships and he only took up boxing 2 years ago. Obviously as he gets more experience he is going to get a lot better.

I dont think Wilder has lost a fight in open competition yet.. He's huge, and lanky.. class of 201 IMO. Should handle Quantis today. He'll impove alot in 1 year before games..

Yanez and Warren could medal.
Whoever comes out of 152, 165, & 178 will be strong contenders to medal.
