After watching "Awesome Aaron Williams" get stopped last night by a fringe opponent albeit a big puncher i would like to know what prospects are you geniunley excited about?
I did like what i saw from Aaron Williams in terms of style. Still think he has a good career infront of him, but not the world beater many had predicted.. dealing with power at cruiser/heavy looks to be his downfall and trimming down to 175 is most likely out of the picture
Berto- Honestly, I'm not sold on him. An athletic specimen with a good amatuer background but for some reason he doesn't seem to possess star qualities to me. And being dropped by Cosme Rivera doesn't really help is cause.
Gamboa- Simular to berto but will make a bigger impact on the sport.
What are everyone elses thoughts?
Khan, that chinny bastard .. He's a knockout waiting to happen with a glassy jaw like that and a cocky style, he's no hamed in terms of flair, ability, grit. He will meet his barerra much earlier before he can accomplish anything.
Really? See it was only really a flash knockdown, just happened to be against a nonpuncher, think he just got caught. But he definately has as much ability and grit as Hamed... never as much flair, but nobody has.
I think Joe Green, Khan, and Andy Lee are the only can't miss prospects i know of. Although I know I'm missing a lot... prospects arent my specialty in Boxing knowledge. Maybe it's just me but I wasnt sold on Gamboa. I think he's just too old to make the adjustments that will turn him into a legendary fighter. He'll be a Quintana at best I think.
Linares...that guy is something else...
and Gamboa will also be one of the best.
i had a lot of faith on aaron williams...cant believe he lost :S
i have to watch that fight
Lamont Peterson looks real good.. am well excited about him. Very technically sound, looks to have a great future ahead of him. Andy Lee- too tough for his own good and is very limited reminds me of Katsidis.
To me the top five prospects are Gamboa, Anguelo, Povetkin, Lopez, and Khan. Which is pretty sad because none of those guys are americans. Is Hearns son the biggest american prospect?I like Hearns' son, has a great jab, but he NEVER throws the right hand! If he were to throw it more he would be much more dangerous. He throws it like once in 2 rounds.
