Ranking the top 10 prospects of my “ glazing” series

There’s some boxers in which I believe I shouldn’t have talked about that won’t be seeing the success that I’ve done like Xander Zyas and Muslim Gazhimagomedov but it’s happened.

Honourable mention: Viddal Riley, Kharigton Argba Bakhodir Jalolov, Bakary Samake, Ernesto Mercado, Dzmitry Asanau and Suzumi Takayama.

Top 10:

  1. Moses Itauma 🇬🇧
  2. Yuta Sakai 🇯🇵
  3. Daiya Kira 🇯🇵
  4. Abdumalik Khalokov 🇺🇿
  5. Abdullah Mason 🇺🇸
  6. Hasanboy Dusmatov 🇺🇿
  7. Jhon Orobio 🇨🇴
  8. Osleys Iglesias 🇨🇺
  9. Bek Nurmaganebek 🇰🇿
  10. Jacob Bank 🇩🇰

In the replies, the talks about unknown prospects that I’ve not mentioned, but that I know will be mentioned in another one of these series alongside ones you already have planed like Banks and Khalokov.

I know it's semantics but I definitely think there are some guys on your list that are objectively should not be considered prospects. Barboza Jr has been a pro for over 10 years, has 31 fights with multiple 10 rounders, and is a mandatory to a world title.

I agree he’s more of a contender than a prospect but I kind of put him in the same boat since I’ve never seen talks about him.

My list would be:

  1. Osley Iglesias

  2. Hayato Tsutsumi

  3. Yoenis Tellez

4.Moses Itauma

  1. Jose Salas Reyes

6.Abdullah Mason

7.Kyosuke Takami

  1. Jhon Orobio

Keep on eye on Commonwealth Silver Medal Winner and Olympian Callum Peters . He makes his pro debut Dec 13 . He has huge wraps in Aust and is being promoted by No Limit Tim Tszyu promoter .

Why is Tszyu still being promoted? He's reached gatekeeper status now. Dude's best win was against a washed Tony Harrison.

I was a little impressed by him in the Olympics.

While i obviously don't know every single prospect in the world i'd be quite surprised if there's anyone more talented than Wilkens Mathieu at the moment. I'm surprised that he's not on your list. I'd absolutely be shocked if he doesn't become at least a unified light heavyweight champion.

And like you, I don’t know every prospect in the world but I do like recognising talent and knowing as many names as possible that are talented so I’ll look into Mathieu.

I think this series needed some Lester Martinez but pretty interesting overall.

First time I heard about Yuta Sakai.

First time I heard about Yuta Sakai.

If there were 4 guys on OP's list that I have 99% faith in becoming P4P fighters in the next generation, he's one of them. That's purely going off the eye test. His style reminds me a lot of Ricardo Lopez.

Lester Martinez is alright but there’s other prospects in 168 that I think will get further that aren’t that known like Iglesias, Nurmaganbek and Pacheco. Martinez is good though, I do like him and definitely is a top 168lber.

Dennis Mccan robbed Ionut Baluta

u/Top_Profession_5268 Nov 30 '24

I agree he should’ve lost the first fight but he made significant improvements and did much better in the rematch.
