Who are the current prospects?

Egor actually beat Gvozdyk in the amateurs along with Falcao, Romanov, Acosta of Cuba, Usyk and the likes. He looks frighteningly good & is back out on July 19th. That fight is as perfect an example of amateur corruption as you'll find terrible robbery. Egor is a beast through.

Those two definitely seem the real deal imo. I need to check out Mekhontsev. Egor actually beat Gvozdyk in the amateurs along with Falcao, Romanov, Acosta of Cuba, Usyk and the likes. He looks frighteningly good & is back out on July 19th.

He's obviously way further along than the guys you are talking about but I am still a believer in David Lemieux

He is a legit prospect.. He isn't a blue chip, can't miss prospect, but the kid can fight, and with the proper matchmaking, he can make some noise Thanks. He's 14-0 that would be nice to see him on Shobox at the end of this year or in 2015 to see what he's made of. Oleksandr Usyk is another prospect worth keeping an eye on. He has already faced decent opposition. He wants to break Evander Holyfield's record.

Pretty Boy Bam Bam but he wont be pro for another 8 years. He is the next Roy Jones/Floyd Mayweather though. Hopefully we'll get another in that time frame before him.

I'd like to see Marcus Browne make it big because he is from my hometown. He is an olympian, 23 years old and 10-0 (7ko), but one of his fights which was a very small step up, he already had a pretty tough time. He's looked better in his 3 or 4 fights since (again against still very weak opposition)

Egor Mekhontsev, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Kal Yafai, Callum Smith Those two definitely seem the real deal imo. I need to check out Mekhontsev.

Does anyone here consider this Cornflake Lamanna as a serious prospect or is he just getting attention because of his nickname and his looks? He is a legit prospect.. He isn't a blue chip, can't miss prospect, but the kid can fight, and with the proper matchmaking, he can make some noise

Very telegraphed punches, especially the left hook and suspect defends. He has some physical gifts but he certainly isn't the next Puerto Rican star IMO, I won't have any problem being wrong though. Yeah, good point about the telegraph punches, I have noticed that as well.... And defense is still an unknown since he really hasn't fought anyone yet. I can see him being like a jleon love and not handling pressure very well. That's a def possibility...

Why aren't you impressed... Grant it he hasn't faced top competition yet, but he looks like the best rican prospect since Juanma and cotto over a decade ago.. I think he has a lot of poise and I like his skill set... Will it translate into a hof career, I'm not sure, but the kid has potential Very telegraphed punches, especially the left hook and suspect defends.

Am I the only one not impressed with Verdejo? Why aren't you impressed...

Eroll Spence, and Milton Santiago Jr.

julian williams, errol spence, amir imam and luke campbell have all been mentioned. bt its worth saying again they are some tremendous prospects. two of the best prospects out there who havent been mentioned are kal yafai and callum smith. yafai in particular has really impressed me.. excellent fundamentals in every way, especially his footwork. great arsenal of punches, terrific combinations and a tremendous body puncher with power in both hands. i really like his composure as well, the way he systematically breaks down his opponents starting with good jabs and positioning to set up that body and combination punching. he actually reminds me a bit of errol spence, an orthodox version. anthony ogogo deserves a mention too, not as well developed as the other guys mentioned imo but has a very high ceiling. lots of talent, great amateur pedigree, good head on his shoulders and only 5 pro fights.

Watched him since he debuted last year, he behaves like a seasoned fighter, he's been very impressive. Yea that is what struck me most about him for such a young guy he is so poised in the ring, that is something you just can't be taught.
