1. Miguel Cotto.- Jr Welterweight

 

Record: 24-0-16(KO's)

 

Stance: Orthodox

 

Age: 24

 

Cotto represented his home country of Puerto Rico in the 2000 Olympics. Cotto is one of those rare fighters who doesn’t really do one thing great but does everything well. His technique is almost flawless and he fights at a steady pace working up and down. I think its time for Cotto to take that next step and make his move to the top right now.

 

2. Samuel Peter- Heavyweight

 

Record: 24-0-21(KO's)

 

Stance: Orthodox

 

Age: 24

 

In a division in desperate need of  some life Sam Peter is a breath of fresh air. The kid is, big, strong, fast and hits like a Mack truck. Peter is still very raw, but he has made great strides since turning pro and he continues to get better. I see no reason why he wont be Heavyweight Champ in the near future.

3. Robert Guerrero- Featherweight

Record: 15-0-1-8(KO’s)

Stance: Southpaw

Age: 22

Guerrero is by far the best prospect at Featherweight. Extremely tall for this weight class and he makes good use of his height by fighting on the outside and using his long reach to keep opponents at bay and tag them with his straight left. Guerrero has learned to sit down on his punches more since the beginning of his career and as a result his power has increased dramatically

4. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr- Jr Welterweight

Record: 20-0- 15(KO's)

Stance: Orthodox

Age: 19

Talk about having a built in fan base. Don't get the wrong idea, he's not just Julio Cesar Chavez's son, but a legit prospect and that's what has the boxing world talking. Chavez Jr has an amazing left hand that he uses to go up and down on opponents. He throws every punch in the book and throws them well.

5. Amir Kahn- Jr Welterweight

Record: 1-0-1(KO)

Stance: Sothpaw

Age: 18

Kahn is as hyped as any prospect in the last 10 years. Kahn won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic games. Seems to be the total package. Great hand speed with knockout power, but it's not only his skill that people notice, Kahn seems to have that certain star quality about him like a Prince Naseem Hamed or an Oscar De La Hoya.
