A thread to show the talent that barely gets any media attention.

Who does the boxing world need to know about?

....The wave of fighters that'll turn pro in 2016 should probably be better. I can think of a handful of fighters that would be monsters in the pros from the 2016 batch.
There's probably others I've just forgotten so late at night. I'm going to copy and paste this on my boxing notes so I don't have to write this again.

Fabian Maidana, if he is just half as entertaining as his big gangster bro he will be worth keeping an eye on in the future.

No no no. Not getting the point of the thread, man. Almost all of those guys get decent promotion and are well known to fans who follow the sport closely.

Also I probably should have specified 1 boxer per post with a boxrec and some footage or something.

Fuck off.

Fuck off.

No.

 

[The Undefeated Gaul]

No.

I did give you a long list, and you're like 'no, no, no' and moaning about it you ungrateful little prick.

You and your lists are ruining the good sport of baaxing.

Ohara Davies definitely deserves a shout out

6'7 HW Adrian Granate. 4-0(4 knockouts)

http://heavyweightboxing.weebly.com/adrian-granat.html
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=664288&cat=boxer

Kind of reminds of Helenius, although not nearly as polished... Obviously.

Still definitely a bit rough around the edges, but he has a lot to work with and with a good trainer he can definitely go places. We'll see...

Vasilii Levit, a cruiserweight from Kazahstan who hasn't turned pro yet but he had his first season in the WSB last year & was great fun to watch.

Dunno if he'll turn pro like Golovkin or stay in the ams. I really like his style, patient & clever but willing to stand & trade.

^ his WSB debut

Here's 2 - people may of heard of them though (pariculary the first one) -

Dominic Breazeale
won 11 (KO 10) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 11

Apti Davtaev
won 7 (KO 7) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 7

Maris Briedis. The king of biggers better!!!

fast hands and decent power in his right hand. I bet not many people know this guy!

Good picks.. Although Breazeale isn't exactly unknown, he's been on national television at least a few times, competed in the Olympics and is signed to golden boy. Not to be nit picky, but not sure he's fit for this thread.

 

[JohnH]

Which is why I said people had probably heard of the first one!

Looks really good but definitely a little rough a bit sluggish as well at times

Honestly, I don't know what you see in Breazeale.

He's bad. He is very unskilled. Poor punching technique, poor ring IQ, terrible defence. He doesn't have notable speed, power, or a chin. Seriously, he's struggling with the record padders he's facing now. He's a football reject who came up through some puesdo-boxing training programme. Started late in the game and did nothing special in the amateurs. He won't even get as far as Seth Mitchell did.

 

[Super Kalleb]

Esquiva Falcão and Yamaguchi Falcão.

Esquiva fought yesterday

 

[Casual Benson's Unknown]

Takuma Inoue, younger brother of Naoya who is the dogs bollocks, Takuma is taking after his big bro, despite only being 18 his second pro fight was against a 23-2 guy who's previous win was against a world champion. Only seen a couple of clips of Takuma but he looks very good indeed.

Time will tell - my 5 HWs to watch for the future are - Apti Davtaev, Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz Jr, Joseph Parker and Dominic Breazeale.

I realise not all of those are unknown and of those 5 I would say Joshua and Parker in particular, are the future in the next 2 years or so...
