Originally posted by 4Corners View PostJorge Linares, Thomas Dulorme (not a given that he's done yet though), Fernando Guerrero.
Linares has very good offensive skills, but he may be finished.
Thomas Dulorme had a promising future, but he was brought up too fast. There was no way he was ready for a dangerous like Abregu.
Fernando Guerrero is completely finished, I can't see him ever winning a title. He has absolutely no chin. Probably the worst chin in the sport. I think Ishe Smith dropped him as well.

Verquan Kimbrough, he was another Pittsburgh fighter who was pretty good, kinda fell off the face of the earth I think he won the GG nationals or was runner up years ago then he smashed some cans apart for a while though.
Also man Audley Harrison, he achieved a bit honestly and he can be proud and all that, but the guy looked like something special and I loved that he stayed amateur to get that olympic gold. Wish he would have been all I thought.

Linares was a 2 division champ before he got his first loss, hardly a prospect.
Originally posted by ИATAS View PostSame jere. Although I'm not gonna call him a bust yet but I really didn't know his chin was that weak, or so it appears. I was about ready to crown him king of 175.
Still I have some hope for the black russian
With better upper body movement and better surviving tactics, he could come back and still be something special.Last edited by Light_Speed; 05-14-2013, 03:21 AM.

Two off my favourite prospects have went down in the last month Angelo Santana and Jack Culcay still not writing off either a loss can sometimes improve a fighter if they have the right mentality
