Who are the best prospects in Boxing?

the Walsh brothers look useful, i never know which one is which though! Liam is by far the most impressive of the 3 IMO 10-0 (7) and already Commonwealth Super Featherweight Champion

As much as he sometimes get's on my tits, James DeGale is going to the top. What he did to Paul Smith, who's a decent fighter, in only his 9th Pro fight, impressed the **** out of me. One thing he seemed to lack in his first few fights was any real power. He seemd to slap with his punches, Jim McDonnell seems to be sorting his technique out, and he's also sitting down on his punches a bit more and he's reaping the rewards. His personality will split people's opinions, some will love his confidence (cockiness), some will tune in hoping to see him get stretched. Given the fact he's got an Olympic Gold, and is in Fish-Eyed Frank's stable, he can/will be promoted well to the casual fan and general public, which = £. Like i said, he gets on my nerves sometimes, but there's no doubting his ability. David Haye and Adam Booth would be well served to keep George Groves as far away as possible from DeGale. The guy's the dogs bollocks

Derrick Wilson at featherweight is one to watch out for, trust me.

Luis Garcia at Light Heavy is my favorite prospect at the moment, definitely one to look out for. Cuban guy who fights out of Ireland I think you've mentioned him before, Jesse Vargas is my guy.

I like Kell Brook.

I got my eyes on Luis Franco!!

British amateur prospects are the Yafai brothers. One is 20 and the other is 17 ( off the top of my head ). They've already gone to the European championships, World Championships and possibly Khalid ( elder brother ) was at Beijing. Anthony Joshua is meant to be another star. Pro wise we've got DeGale & Gavin. I think there are several others who could go on to become World champions like Quigg, Heffron, Selkirk, Walsh bros etc. But DeGavin is our best hope. the Walsh brothers look useful, i never know which one is which though!

I think there are several others who could go on to become World champions like Quigg, Heffron, Selkirk, Walsh bros etc. Been meaning to check out that Heffron; people seem to be raving about him. Was he an impressive amateur? Of the prospects that I've actually gotten around to looking at, Mikey Garcia, Brad Solomon, Chris Martin, David Lemieux, Erislandy Lara, Luis Garcia, Mercito Gesta, Edwin Rodriguez, Yordanis Despaigne, Robert Marroquin and Jesse Vargas all looked good.

New trainer? not sure yet but I know people who are unhappy with his uneven performances of late

changes might be coming New trainer?

Kell Brook and James Degale.

I have to agree with this. I was very unimpressed. changes might be coming

Shawn Estrada no way too raw right now

Shawn Estrada

his last fight was atrocious I have to agree with this. I was very unimpressed.

Luis Garcia at Light Heavy is my favorite prospect at the moment, definitely one to look out for. I've heard he is very lazy do.

What about Frankie Gomez? his last fight was atrocious

Luis Garcia at Light Heavy is my favorite prospect at the moment, definitely one to look out for.

not too many people know of this kid but watch out for Gabino Saenz who just signed to Top Rank. Pretty good skills I have some sparring footage of him going against Charles Huerta I shot this past weekend

SHAWN PORTER Weight class: welterweight/junior middleweight Age: 23 Record: 17-0 (13) The skinny: Former U.S. amateur standout from Ohio struggled to out-point towering southpaw spoiler Russell Jordan at the start of 2010 but rebounded with two knockout victories before dropping from junior middleweight to welterweight and scoring impressive victories over once-beaten prospect Ray Robinson (UD 10) and rugged Hector Munoz (TKO 9) on ShoBox. Strengths: Extensive amateur background, athleticism, good speed, heavy hands, explosive combination punching, confidence, promoted by Prize Fight Boxing. Weaknesses: Occasional lapses in concentration, trouble with lateral movement, sometimes paws with jab. What’s next? A welterweight 10 rounder against Adrian Mora (20-1-1) on Feb. 18 on ESPN2. EDWIN RODRIGUEZ Weight class: super middleweight Age: 25 Record: 17-0 (13) The skinny: Massachusetts-based former amateur standout lived up to the potential of his considerable talent in 2010, scoring four stoppage victories over solid opponents, including a Showtime-televised ninth-round TKO of James McGirt Jr. (22-1-1) in November. The aggressive Dominican-American boxer-puncher possesses a crowd-pleasing style, hence his nickname “La Bomba.” Strengths: Strong amateur background, good technique, head movement, combination and body punching, solid footwork, heavy hands, promoted by DiBella. Weaknesses: Sometimes mixes it up more than he should. What’s next? Takes on Aaron Pryor Jr. (15-2) in a 10-round main event Jan. 14 on ESPN2. ISMAYL SILLAKH Weight class: light heavyweight Age: 25 Record: 14-0 (12) The skinny: Former amateur star from Ukraine exceeded expectations by blasting battle-tested veteran Daniel Judah in two rounds on the televised undercard of the Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones Jr. PPV on April 3. The rangy Southern California-based boxer-puncher dazzled observers with his fluid jab, accurate combination punching and devastating body attack. Strengths: International amateur experience, height and reach, speed, power, maturity, confidence, sharp jab, combination punching, managed by Ivaylo Gotzev. Weaknesses: Has yet to show any in the pro ranks, could use more exposure on U.S. television. What’s next? Scheduled to face fellow advanced prospect Yordanis Despaigne on March 4 on ESPN2. The winner of this fascinating matchup will be considered by some to be a legit contender. ANTWONE SMITH Weight class: welterweight Age: 23 Record: 19-2-1 (11) The skinny: Skilled Miami native suffered major setback when he foolishly fought while ill and was stopped in the ninth round by veteran Lanardo Tyner on ShoBox last July. However, one loss should not erase the impressive showings Smith had during a three-year, 14-bout unbeaten streak. Victories over undefeated Norberto Gonzalez (UD 8), fringe contender Richard Gutierrez (UD 10) and fellow prospect Henry Crawford (TKO 9) in 2009 proved he’s special. The loss to Tyner simply proved he’s human and can have a bad night. Strengths: Crafty style, economical combination and counter punching, infighting ability, guts, promoted by DiBella. Weaknesses: Overconfidenc, immaturity (didn’t tell his promoter or management that he had been violently ill the week of the Tyner fight). What’s next? A stay-busy fight on the Rodriguez-Pryor undercard Jan. 14. The rest is on R i n g t v.com
