      Okolie?



      He's pro at Cruiserweight. Would probably move up at some point but not sure he would be durable enough at HW.

        I would be surprised if either didnt make it to at least Euro level. Which at HW is top 10 or not too far from it.

        Both obviously have a lot to prove.

          Your man ? I knew you liked the dark stick ! :*******:

          No ,your man lost to Parker ,and will continue to lose against REAL top guys bc he cant punch . Your other MAN is going to have a real tough time without anything illegal in his system which is why his hearts not in it .

          Now your on another bandwagon ,which is bad for Duboi bc your going to Jinx that fighter now too and it has nothing to do with your LACK of boxing knowledge its just the garbage energy you attract !

            Tony Yoka is probably a future champ. He's not spectacular nor a KO artist so people will underestimate him. People will call him boring and nothing special but he'll continue to win and win and win, he's a skilled boxer and will be hard to beat in the future.

                Okolie looked awful in his last fight, looked like a budget Lidl version of wilder. Which is pretty bad considering i think Wilder is basically 2017 version of 'prime' Michael Grant.

                  Hasim Rahman Jr is a guy I'm curious about. Supposedly been getting in good sparring efforts at various gyms (& notability with that Mayweather Doghouse situation with his lil bro). Had a solid amateur career of 100 bouts. Did some time due to a car accident where someone died. Turned pro this year & is 2-0 (2) with 2 fights scheduled in the next 30ish days.

                  But yea the HW division has been heating up since Fury beat Klitschko & keeps getting the temp turned up since then & with these guys mentioned & some more that have fully gotten there yet or shown what they are capable of the next few years at HW should be fun to watch move along & see how it all gets worked out.

                    I cant remember the fight exactly but iirc Okolie was basically comfortably outboxing Menduo and Kd'd him as well?

                    He is a bit stiff and gangly at times, but he is also tall, rangy and awkward at 200lbs. I still have high hopes for him in the future.
