Comments Thread For: Arum on Gvozdyk: In Six Months He Beats Kovalev, Stevenson

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is very high on his unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Oleksandr Gvozdyk (10-0, 8KOs). Arum recently spoke to BoxingScene.com about Gvozdyk and some of the other prospects fighting under the Top Rank promotional banner that he expects to break through in the near future.

Great joke!!!

Why what is happening over the six months? Is he going to be genetically modified?

[John Locke]

He definitely beats Stevenson and has a legit chance against Kova, I'm a big fan of this guy, his jab and right hand are A+

[Nomadic]

Kov will eat him alive and use his bones for tooth picks.

Quick! Somebody find the leak and plug it! Arum has sprung a leak again! Hot air escaping!

He's excellent prospect, but it's just Arum doing his job - which is hyping him up. He's not going to be ready in 6 months... I think it's more like 2018 when he'll be looking to challange top guys and then who knows?

Yes altough the russian Egor Mekhonstev was the best lightheavy in amateurs back in those days, he won the gold in London where Alexander "only" won the bronze.
Mekhontsev is also an amateur world champion.

I think Mekhontsev is the more fundamentally sound prospect at 175.

He's actually 12-0 as a pro and mainly fighting in the US.

He beat Usyk, Clemente Russo at 200, also beat Marcus Browne and Alexander in top ams competitions.

There is also a cuban freak in lightheavyweights amateur right now.
His name if I remember well is JULIO CESAR LA CRUZ.

He beat Mekhonstev in 2011 Baku, dude look like a light HW version of Lara (slick) but with steel balls.

LA CRUZ is a 3 times ams world champ wich is pretty much awesome, he's the heavy favourite for Rio.
Hope he then swin to the US to school some asses in pros.

No he won't but if you listen to Arum for the next 6 months he'll have you believing he's the greatest lhw ever.

Artur Beterbiev if you're serious !!!

If they think he's that highly regarded right now, then it's time to get him some attention....

Try to match him up with Al's boy, Artur Beterbiev.... For the winner, that would open some eyes....

Egor has Korobov syndrome. A lot of talent but seems to be declining. I think he almost got knocked out a fight or two back.
