    Kosei Tanaka.
    Sorry folks but its really between Kosei and Beterbiev, Ryo Matsumoto has had a great year too, as has Shohei Omori.

    Against Bhop, Kovalev upped his game from banger to thinker.

    Whoever beat him in amateurs should remember, for decades on decades guys who beat top names in amatuers, usually lose against them when they turn pro.

    Worldwide- Lomachenko , Walters, Crawford, Beterbiev.
    Brits- Callum Smith, Joshua, Luke Campbell.
    Beterbiev is a monster if I am correct he has KO Kovalev on 2 occasions in the amateurs, so the
    way he just dealt with Cloud was impressive to say the least.
    Luke Campbell I feel he is something special, Smith he's decent but still work in progress.
    Joshua is a great prospect I hope they don't rush him.
    Excellent pick all your fighters.
    Definitely Berbetiev. Canadian promoters wouldn't normally put a top prospect in with somebody like Cloud until the fight before a world title shot. Berbetiev did it in his seventh fight and the performance was very impressive.

    Yes I was very impressed Cloud is extremely tough, Berbetiev just took him apart a great performance.

    At the top I think Errol Spence jr and a Crawford have close to the full package, staying with welter and the return of all the oxygen Floyd was sucking out of it, young guns Sammy Vasquez and Sadam Ali show sound potential to deepen division even more. Tons of talent and so many outlets now, anyone who says boxing is struggling can go pound sand

    Have to say Crawford is it for me. Many gave him mention here but I suspect he could be a Super Star. He has all the tools and can break them out at will. His last fight, it looked like he was struggling but as soon as he turned it on he dominated. He said after the fight in an non bragging way that he wanted to get some rounds in. What a pleasure to watch. We have Floyd, maybe one or two more fights and then we have some great guys to see coming up. No one will be out waiting for the Floyd payday. How much time did Khan waste making sure he didn't lose a fight waiting in the wings for Floyd. Now I'm sure he won't fight prior to Manny or at least not fight a competitive fight, and that will last to probably early to mid 2016. Floyd and Manny were great, they both did a lot for boxing but the point has come they will do a lot for boxing by leaving. I suspect we will all be talking Crawford very soon

    You LIKE a welsh fighter mate are you feeling well.
    Since when have I had anything against the Welsh? Don't start winding me up. I even consider Calzaghe Welsh even though he's truly a Londoner.
    Explain that to a none Brit, if possible. Seriously? Please!

    I don't think that second part really makes sense. In Amateurs people lose, we don't remember when it goes the same in both fights. We only remember when the script is flipped. And we only remember when the big name wins in the pros because winning in the pros is how you become a big name. It's not that usually the script is flipped, it's that we remember when the script is flipped.

    Yes, often the better professional wins the return. But isn't that to be expected since they are the better professional? So the true premise is the better amateur will win in the amateurs, the better pro will win in the pros. Where people get in trouble is when they say "sure X is better now, but maybe Y just has his number. After all, he beat him in the amateurs"

    Calzaghe was born in London, England. He was then taken hostage to live in the Welsh valleys. So the superior English allowed them to claim him as one of their own. That pretty much sums it up.
