Another sub 100 post user making a thread about how some unknown russian fighter is going to be the next best thing in boxing.

This is getting tiring honestly...

You got an opportunity here to showcase your dark horse prospect - the talented kid you reckon could go all the way and instead choose to moan about someone else's choice... that not a bit negative do you think? Is there something wrong with letting other boxing fans know about guys you think are promising and worth a look over? Something wrong with getting enthused about young prospects? I'd rather that than 90% of the pointless bickering that goes on around here.

he looked very one dimensional and limited in his last fight..

I agree he is still pretty raw but damn does he have some tools that can be developed.

[Madison Boxing]

Joshua buatsi.

Joshua buatsi.

I'm was thinking of Buatsi myself, but he's kinda on the radar already - at least among the hardcore fans. Mind you, so is Shohjahon...



Anyways.. I ain't had the time to follow that many prospects recently, but Mr Pigford was brought to my attention earlier this year: 14 (13) and 0 and only 25 years old... probably about time he stepped up a lil, but he came back last December after 18 months inactivity and supposedly fights again in March.

Im not sure he still qualifies as a 'prospect' considering hes 29 but as he's only had 7 fights but as a dark horse in the HW divsion ill go with Arslanbek Makhmudov, the man looks like an absolute monster with terrifying power.





his last fight agaisnt the usually very durable Avery Gibson, who the likes of Teslenko, Kean, Cojano, michael hunter and Dinu could not put a dent in.

What do they feed those boys in the Caucasus you reckon?

My vote goes to Matthew Griego out of New Mexico. His promoter hasn't done enough for him, but hopefully he starts getting better fights this year.
