And Khan was the prototypical amateur fighter, and look at him

He became a World Champion at the Pros

Campbell can too, with that height, reach, southpaw style and speed, he will be very tough to beat at the Pros.

About £60,000 a year.

Good money in my world.

WTF... that's really good for an amateur

Nah I see Joshua being the next Audley,

Haye will destroy him, Arreola too and many others, if you think he will have an easy path for the Title you are very wrong.

Audley was always overhyped, he was like 28 when he started boxing, he wasnt impressive during the Olympics, for a tall guy he never used his jab and he carried that on to when he turned pro

Jousha on the other hand will not be given a free ride like Audley, who got himself 3 million pounds before his first pro fight, which probably was the worst thing that could happen to a boxer as it will take away all ur drive.

Jousha will earn his shot, his stats are good, he shows signs of brilliance, he has the tools, the size, and the image.

I think the Cuban should be up by more then 2 points

Khan is another example of a boxer who turned pro to early. Khan showed good hand speed, Campbell doesnt have fast hands.

Lucky for Khan when he boxed in the Olympics, there wasnt many if any other British boxers in the Olympics, so he had a lot of offers on the table.

Khan still fights like a Amateur, he makes amateur mistakes, he hasnt shaken off the Olympic style. I'll give Khan heart and fast hands, but he's not elite and has had a lot of luck

Cuban is certainly winning

Crowd is booing for some reason tho

Dillian Whyte will have a better Pro career, and I bet Joshua will not want to see him in the Pro ranks after what Dillian did to him in the amateurs.

Bernichyk is such a brute

The Gold should be for Roniel, fantastic fighter, Berynchik should make a good pro.

And also hoping Roniel goes Pro.
