Who will be the good boxing prospects participating in the 2016 olympic games

I have heard Mohammad Rabii's name mentioned twice. Has Morocco ever produced any great champions. What is the 411 on this fighter. What is his greatest strength. What weight class is heComment

Is that supposed to be a challenge? Zhanibek beat Quigley from the outside, inside and mid-range. He out-boxed him and out worked him. He even dropped him. He will beat that ass again in the pros.
LOL I'm just messing bro, but I still think Zhanibek is a better prospect but I'm also really high on Quigley.
But there is a reason Quigley turned pro, he didn't want none!
Let's wait and see if the Kazakhstan boxers turn pro, hopefully they do.Comment

Ramirez was caught trying to escape Cuba to turn pro and was banned from boxing for a while. He's back in the team now I think as he had a fight in January.Yosbany Veitia would be somebody for the "boxing purists." It took me some "warming up" to Lazaro Alvarez, but I've noticed that it's damn near impossible to beat him midrange. I've noticed how Robeisy Ramirez disappeared from the Cuba Domadores. He's a talented, but conflicted kid... Probably wants to go str8 out pro, but that's such a hard decision to make for a Cuban. Personally, I think he can change pro boxing's view on the "pro Cuban fighter" since he likes to **** and boxed extremely well on the inside. Roniel Iglesias uses the same gritty style, and he's also a gold medalist. He's had some "hiccups" in this season on WSB. Seems like he "wasn't all there" for some of his fights. Yasniel Toledo has been stepping it up! He just beat the crap out of Sam Maxwell from England a few weeks back worse than Vasyl Lomachenko!Comment

Veitia is a good boxer, I still don't think he would do great in the pros. Look at Guillermo Rigondeaux, have you ever seen this guy in 2000 and 2004 Olympics or the 2001 and 2005 World Amateur Championships? He was like the smoothest boxer I've seen. It's kinda scary that we might not even be seeing Rigo in his prime; he basically couldn't fight for two years or even spar (because no one was allowed to talk to him). Rigondeaux is still not getting air time, it would be worse for Veitia because if you're a smaller boxer, it's even more difficult. Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko would be amazing.Yosbany Veitia would be somebody for the "boxing purists."

I haven't really seen Toledo in the WSB this season but wow I should check out some of his fights. I do remember him at the Central and Caribbean Games last year and he looked really good, but I was like maybe it's due to the level of opposition. The Mexican Kid, Raul Curiel, gave him a good fight. I take it back Toledo would be a good pro, he's a great boxer and he seems to have pop in those punches. Curiel would be a great pro as well.
I still think Loma beat him both times, some people said Toledo deserved the fight at the Olympics, but maybe they could meet in the pros.Comment

The Question would be, can he? I would like to see him turn pro, he'll probably fight at 140 I'd imagine. I know some people think Toledo deserved the nod over Loma at the Olympics, personally I didn't think so, but it was a closer fight than the World Amateur Championships. Lomachenko seemed like he was bored in those Olympics tho, well at least imo.
But maybe they'll meet again in the proos. I hope.Comment

I know Alimkhanuly well but I don't rate him as highly as you do. He is a solid but rather basic fighter. He is not even the best middleweight in the world right now in my opinion. I thought he was lucky to get the decision over Bogdan Juratoni at the 2013 AIBA World Championships. And perhaps it is just me, but he looks massive for a middleweight. Yeleussinov is much better.Is that supposed to be a challenge? Zhanibek beat Quigley from the outside, inside and mid-range. He out-boxed him and out worked him. He even dropped him.

As for Balderas, he is only 18. Most boxers his age are still competing at junior-youth level. He was never going to beat Selimov in Azerbaijan no matter what. Lazaro Alvarez beat Selimov from pillar to post in Baku last year and Selimov got away with a split decision...Comment

Well who is the best Middleweight in your opinion? Alimkhanuly is only 22 years old, he could learn a lot from someone like Abel and GGG if he turned pro early. Alimkhanuly seems to have the conditioning problems, that's what worries me. Yeleussinov is great, let's just hope these guys turn pro.I know Alimkhanuly well but I don't rate him as highly as you do. He is a solid but rather basic fighter.

Age shouldn't be an excuse. There is a lot of boxers, even American boxers, that do great even at a young age. Gary Russell Jr. was a bronze medalist at the World Amateur Championships at only 17, Rau'shee Warren bronze at 18 competed at the Olympics at 17, Frankie Gomez was 17 when he won his silver medal at the 2009 World Amateur Championships (it's a shame what's happening to this kid, Golden Boy should have allowed him to stay amateur til the Olympics).
Plus Selimov has lost a step or two, he's not that good anymore.Last edited by HI-TECH Boxing; 05-09-2015, 08:12 AM.Comment
