    Danny Jacobs, Yuriorkis Gamboa. Both of them have the tools to be very, very good fighters.

      I was about to say the same thing,Jacobs reminds me of Sugar Ray Leonard and Meldrick Taylor,he fights like them,great combos,amazing speed,defence and power

      Gamboa reminds me of a young Roy Jones because of how talented he is,he fights with his hands low,but has so much natural ability hes never been caught with a solid hard shot,hes one of the most gifted fighters ive seen in years,the best prospect in boxing

        I like what I see from Gamboa so far. I think Odlanier Solis (who stopped David Haye in Belfast) has great potential as well.

            Yup, Jacobs' combinations flow very well. Gamboa's reflexes and athleticism are something to watch.

            Solis does look impressive. Both Gamboa and Solis will be on BAD sometime in the near future. Good exposure for them.

              He has,but i think since joining the pro's he hasnt taken boxing as serious,hes a bit chubby now,before he had a lean and muscular figure,i think he needs to take it more serious,like Gamboa has,the reason Gamboa is the most active out of all 3 of the Cubans is because he has alot of passion,he looks great for his weight,hes a superfeatherweight with a Mike Tyson like body,and out of the 3 so far in there pro careers,none of them look like there touching Gamboa in the skill department,his own promotor said Gamboas ready for a title shot,he can go the full 12 because hes always in the gym,he said Solis cant just yet

                I WAS THINKING JACOBS... HES FROM BACK HOME.

                But to be honest the "MEN" to watch right now..

                HAYE and CHAD DAWSON. They are going to bring alot of light back to boxing...

                Seems that HAYE is starting faster though DAWSON has had chances.

                  Oh and Anthony Peterson reminds me alot of Floyd and Shane Mosley,he throws punches like Shane,sick combos to the body and head and shoulder rolls like Floyd,he even uses the shell defense at times,hes one of the most athletic prospects,hes sick on his feet,he hits pretty hard for his weight,and can easily become champ at lightweight now that Juan has been defeated

                    Solis won't be anything special. If his fight with Haye had been a professional bout the ref wouldn't have stepped in in the first round and Haye would've taken him out. Plus he seems to have turned into a fat ****er.
