This prospect will be the goods!

[and the NEW]

The most hyped fighter I remember coming from the amateur ranks in a long while (Rigo and Loma were known as great, but I don't recall their hype being as big) is Michael Conlon. He seems to be everywhere at the moment. I don't really recall such a push (and only Top Rank can push its young stars this hard) since the Golden Boy back at the end of 92!

BUT, this is one hype job I don't believe will be the goods. I've seen a lot of his amateur fights, him being hurt, dropped, and just not beating elite competition. He could well win a world championship, but he will be derailed when he steps in against elite competition, perhaps Shakur Stevenson down the road - the two are already hyping up the fight calling eachother out before either of them has even made their professional debut!
