Best Boxer to come out of the 2016 Olympics so far?

[El Ondeado]

Based on skills shown so far and against better quality opposition & of course potential they have! American or International don’t matter! Who is it so far?


IMO it’s between Shakur Stevenson or Teofimo Lopez!

Joshua Buatsi looks like the real deal..... also a heavyweight Ivan Rychko, 6'9 (and beat Joshua in the 2012 semi-finals but was robbed).

A guy called Carlos Balderas (U.S) is another one but he's only 22 and 6-0 just now..... I think in a year or two people will be talking about this guy at lightweight, and he could go up to WW in the future at 5'9 1/2.

These are just the ones I have seen, I haven't checked out your examples but I will now.

i like what ive seen from hrgovic so far. I believe he also had the highest step up so far against an old Mansour.
From the guys who had some hype behind them, I am the least impressed with conlan so far.

For me I have to say josh kelly based on the eye test and level of opposition.

Kelly
Hrgovic
Cordina looks promising but not stepped up yet.

Buatsi looks very good.. nice and tight and we'll disciplined. Needs a step up in competition .. would be nice if but a dream to see him face Yarde before 2020

Filip Hrgovic and Artem Chebotarev are by far the best to come out of the 2016 Olympics - no doubt about it!

Ivan Dychko, Josh Kelly, Michael Conlan, Evgeny Tischenko, are all looking good too.

It's a shame ( yet predictable) that the BEST fighter at the 2016 Olympics- the one who stood out the most - Vassily Levit - hasn't turned pro.

Jesus most Eastern Euros don't even turn pro and they dominate, imagine if they all turned pro!

Tony Yoka?

[Bassfist]

Tony Yoka?

Surely you are having a laugh?

I mean, at Heavyweight alone there is loads of guys from the 2016 Olympics who have turned pro who are better than him

Hrgovic
Dychko
Jalolov
Joyce
Tischenko

all better than him!

If I was buying stock in one guy from the class of 2016 it'd be Teofimo Lopez. I do like how Shakur has been looking lately after an unimpressive start in my eyes for a guy of his level. Josh Kelly is interesting for sure. And that HW dude I must admit I've not seen much of so can't comment on him too much, but generally I feel like HW's get a lil too overhyped particularly early in their career so in general I think they are overall going to be busts for the big big time level so unless this guy is just crazy talented I'd probably pass on him over these other guys.
