4/ Darmani Rock

5/ Nathan Gorman

6/ Rostaslov Plechko

7/Sergai Kuzman

8/ Oleksnader Teslenko

9/ Oscar Rivas

!0/ Junior Fa

Are there any new prospects? Want to catch up wit the heavyweight scene. Granat just lost against Dimitrenko. Kuzmin looks really, really slow, but strong. Fa looks decent, Wallin looks to robotic for me. Need to watch the other boxers you mentioned.

I would put Duboi number 1 , i didnt list him bc he hadnt been officially a pro yet . Granat is a perfect example of match making when your fighter is still in the earlier stages of his career . Doing these lists really is mostly guess work until they have a good number of fights unless they have obvious potential ...Duboi / Muzuak and Morrison seem to have something , also Tony Yolka has to make his pro debut .

Con Sheehan just misses out, he's got skills but he has very little power for a 6'7 guy...

Also...Big baby miller, Bogdan Dinu, Oscar Rivas & Tyrone Spong are all in their late 20's /30's but i still consider them ' prospects '

It's 2018. Lets have a look at the heavyweight prospect scene.

Kownacki, Miller, Kabayel stepped up against former title challengers and are now close to being contenders.

Ugonoh and Granat lost their step up fight, hope they can bounce back.

Kuzmin was supposed to step up against Mansour, but the fight was stopped due to a nasty cut.

Now to the other prospect who are in the top50 according to boxrec:

Junglong Zhang: Hunts down former cruiserweight challenger and titlist. Has wins over Ramirez and Rossi.

Wallin, Zhilei Zhang, Schwarz, Dinu, Rivas, Kean and Gorman should be ready now to fight against the likes of Johnson, Ustinov, Sexton, Allen.

Now below the Top 50 (I will only mention the prospects I know about):

Fa, Hrgovic, Teslenko, Yoka, Dubois, Webb, Joyce, Dychko.

I hope they are taking a fast approach with all the olympic dudes. Fa also should start to fight better opposition. I hope they develop Dubois the right way. Dude looks powerful blasting out bums, but he is only 20 years old and shouldnt get moved too fast.

What promising prospects do I not know about? There are many boxers with unbeaten records, but who is supposed to make some noise in the future?

Efe Ajagbe is another to keep an eye on. Only 23. Another guy signed up to Shaeffer's Ringstar. A strong, in shape 6'3" and 230 odd pounds.

Not really sold on Kuzmin, Schwarz or Granat as future champion material

Teslenko and Gorman are intriguing

Don't know much about the others

I quite like Darmani Rock too

Whats going on with Rock? I would have thought a better promoter would have picked him up by now. Looks pretty good from what I can see. Fighting regularly but opponents arent great. Similar age to Dubois so I guess that is fair enough

[_Rexy_]

Is Usyk still 100% moving up? I’ve heard mixed things lately...

He's with Roc Nation & been with them since turning pro (or soon after iirc).

Ah ok, are Roc Nation still going?

Wonder if Shaeffer might pick him up as well eventually, seems to be trying to build a stable of young HWs

[Eff Pandas]

Ah ok, are Roc Nation still going?

Yea barely chugging along still. I think Rock, among other of their lower level guys on the come up still, has been outsourced primarily to non-RN cards doe. RN puts on so few cards that I don't think they could properly move younger guys on the way up w/o them being massively inactive.

Its changed a bit a its less of a guess game and some fighters actually turned pro .

My Third pick Morrison was out a year due to injury ,other wise he would have been knocking on the top 30 spot .


1 . Vlad Sirenko

2 . Joe Joyce

3 . Dan Dubois

4 . Trey Morrison

5 . Hrgovich

6. Gormon

7 . Izu

8. Rock

9. Mazurik

10. Kownacki


Im just going to shift this list based on wins and just eliminate any one who loses now and see where it ends up. Anyone on my list that makes it to a title fight i'll put a mark on to see how accurate it was .

Miller is ranked in top 10 ,and has defeated top 10 guys . Hes not a prospect .
