    That's a little old to be starting out in the pro ranks, but he definitely has the talent.

    He needs to turn pro now or it will be too late in a couple of years. He'd be a fine addition to the heavyweight division.

      Do you know how old he is?
      Problem is Cammarelle usually got eaten up against the best amateurs from Eastern Europe and Cuba.
      There's a reason he shied away from becoming pro.

      I saw the Chinese character at the World Amateur championships.
      Too flawed defensively at this point, but he had a huge fan base there too.

        He actually lucked out in the championships then too.
        A guy that he got abused by didn't show, so he advanced to the finals on two straight walkovers. (means other guy didn't show)

        Povetkin worked his ass multiple times in the amateurs.

          He appears to have improved since his battles with Povetkin, who always defeated him.

            Islam Timurziev worked him too. Can't believe Price got him in the Olympics.

              Islam Timuriev was a great talent before he had cancer. He defeated everybody in his path, including Solis.

                So he had it or didn't? I don't know the story.
                I know he beat Solis but he tired against him in the last fight I think and got some standing 8's.
                But he's pure offense.

                  The first fight with Solis was before his cancer, the second was after chemotherapy. His stamina was not the same. Chemotherapy can be very hard on your body and mind, few people are 100% afterwards, although it's not the same for each person.

                    I hate his style. But nobody matches Russo, that's the ugliest boxer in the olympics. Oh that Brit that won the gold was disgusting to watch too. "That geezer bit me..."
