Where's my boy Bernabe Concepcion? :boxing: Valero and Juanma aren't prospects anymore dude.
so khan is no longer any good because he got caught with a great shot?
some people make me sick, why did you put him in there in the first place then dipshit?
LOL he is good, i didnt say he wasnt. he just got KTFO, so that drops him outside of the top 10. why do you put a fighter in the p4p rankins then take him out when he gets beat? same reason here
List edited and updated. Khan taken out. Gamboa number 1

Good list, I think everyone would agree that Andre Ward has a very promising future. The only other fighter I would add to that list would be Ireland's John Duddy. The last I read he was ranked tenth in the Middleweight division by The Ring Magazine, and I think that's a little ridicolous, considering he is yet undefeated and has won a majority of his fights by knockout.

gamboa should be #1 and Khan #2. you don't even have gamboa in the top 10. thats like making a p4p list without including pacquiao.
i agree that a prospect should not already have a world title nor be 30 or more years of age AND already fought for a world title. here are my world's top prospect in each division:
Heavyweight alexander povetkin RUSSIA
cruiserweight johnathan banks USA
lt. heavyweight tavoris cloud USA
super middle andre dirrell USA
middleweight john duddy IRELAND
jr. middleweight joel julio COLOMBIA
welterweight mike jones USA
jr. welterweight victor ortiz USA
lightweight amir khan UK
super feather yuriorkis gamboa CUBA
featherweight juan carlos burgos MEXICO
super bantam bernabe concepcion PHILIPPINES
bantamweight abner mares MEXICO
super flyweight raul martinez USA
flyweight adrian hernandez MEXICO
jr. flyweight giovanni segura MEXICO
minimumweight roman gonzalez NICARAGUA
NOW, here are the top 10 mexican/mexican-american prospects:
giovanni segura 19-0-1 15 KO's jr. fly
adrian hernandez 13-0-1 11 KO's fly ko'd rodel mayol in 4
raul martinez 22-0 13 KO's s. fly
abner mares 17-0 10 KO's ban ko'd diodado gabi in 2
juan carlos burgos 18-0 14 KO's fea

mike alvarado 21-0 14 KO's jr. welt
alfredo angulo 13-0 10 KO's jr. middle
chris arreola 24-0 21 KO's Heavy
Junior Welterweight you forgot Vernon Paris!
Man that guy is cold. shot 3 times and was still fighting after that. recently got stabbed a couple of months ago, going to carry on boxing after he recovers.. and hes only 20 years old with a record of 18-0
All undefeated young fighters.
Golovkin KOed Bute, and defeated Pavlik, Dirrell and Lee in the amateurs.
Alexeev won gold at heavyweight in the 2005 world amateur tournament.
Learn a little bit about these boxers before you reply.
Just because they're not Americans, doesn't mean you have to have that stupid prejudice against them.
Man dont get hostile that your fighters cant quite amount to what the American fighters can, its okay. And we aint talkin about the amateurs so when you homie fights 1 of those 3 fighters and wins.....which is very far fetched....then i will eat my words....dont worry someday you EE fighters will really blow up......
Then again who the fuck am i kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lew:

ive seen 2 of the 5 and like i say he looks like he might mature into a winner, ill check out Banks too, nice one.
That's routine opposition but he seems to be beating them pretty easily, I'll be looking out for him for sure.
I forgot about Victor Ortiz, he is championship material.
Kevin Cunningham is his trainer....I think.
And I really like this kid too. He does seem to lack any real pop in his punches, but I'm a sucker for fast hands and that boy can really let em fly.
Ohh yeah and i think of any of the up n comers so to speak, and i dont mean the titlist. He has beaten the best Competiton. Great managment bringing him up and he's fun to watch. His fight's may see mto go to a decision, but hell throw anywhere from 80-100 punches per round and he really digs into each of them. And he was dominant against Corley. PPL have always seemed to struggle with Chop Chop to a degree, and D The Great just outclassed him. I think his style makes a tough fight for anyone in years to come. Name a fighter that can throw that many punches per round and not tire. This kid is a machine and mark my words will be here for a long time to come.......great comments Live Dog!!
Good call with Alexander. This kid is exciting. Throws a lot of punches each round. And when he fights listen to the way he grunts....He doesnt quite have the pop, but man does he throw everything he ahs in every punch. He could very well be the next big thing. And look for him to really turn it up. He's already fought a very solid veteran in Chop Chop and won every round on my card but 1. He's a guy you have to watch, like i said doesnt have that KO power, but man he wears ppl down and he makes every fighter work there ass off in there. A great testament to his trainer and I forget his name, but he trained Cory Spinks entire career until his last fight.....aaaahhhhh fuck....Kevin something.....He is a trainer that doesnt get a lot of repect, and i thinkg its mainly because of Spinks lackluster style. But he's turned Alexander into a beast thus far in his career..

Denis Boytsov
Alex Alexeev
Gennady Golovkin
Alexander Frenkel
Alexander Dimitrenko
Tunney your as much of a joke as your Eastern European douchebags. Get a grip on yourself and on the fight game then post some meaningful shit dutch!!

Cunningham i believe correct me if im wrong
My top 5 would be
1) Gamboa
2) Valero
3) Devon Alexander
4) Banal
5) Khan

They haven't been properly tested yet but they had to have reached contender status to get a title so they are past the point of being prospects.
Yeah thats true. Agreed.
two of the hottest prospects in world boxing today my friend, especially Kirkland, the boy can bang!!!
also a kid called Chris Alvaros i think his name is, he has only had 4 maybe 6 fights but he looks awesome, good handspeed and power and looks built to take a punch so keep an eye out for him too.
Interesting, I'll keep an eye out for him.
Johnathon Banks is also a good prospect.
