Who was the last prospect that you really got excited about?

[Mr. Ryan]

For me, it was Miguel Cotto, right after I saw him fight Victoriano Sosa in 2003. He just went in there and took apart a guy who gave Paul Spadafora and Floyd Mayweather significant issues. I saw his complete arsenal, the body attack, the patient aggression and immediately thought "Wow, this guy is for real." Of course he's hit his rough spots and his defense isn't as great as it was a couple of years ago, but he still maintains a high level of skill. Before that, I don't recall seeing another young prospect and thinking "Wow".

Of more recent, I've been impressed with Peter Quillen and Anthony Dirrell, but not on the level I was of Miguel Cotto.

Miguelito...

Paul Williams seems very dominating right now, with that height I believe he can give any fighter in history trouble in the welterweight division... He has the skills to do so...

The Dirrell brothers....

I haven't seen much of Lee. I've only seen his fight on Versus.

I saw Jonathon Banks versus Eliseo Castillo. I was very impressed. He was staggered and dropped twice in the first round, but survived to knockout Castillo in the 4th, the same round Wladimir Klitschko did it. And Emmanuel Steward must have confidence, matching him that tough so early in his career.

Paul Williams just because I've seen nothing like him. Before him, Cotto.

LAST, has to be Juanma Lopez.

Miguel Cotto, and now Paul Williams.

Williams still has his share of flaws and is not as technically sound as a young Cotto, but he has so much upside.

The guy is like a freak of nature.
