    Andre Berto.. and Amir Khan both have some serious potential..

      Well Solis isn't moving along as fast as Gamboa is, but at least, like him, all of his opponents have had winning records so far. Yeah Solis is pretty chubby, but he has lost 11 lbs since turning pro less than a year ago. His upcoming fight will make 8 in less than a year, which is pretty damn good. He's fighting a guy with 20 KOs in 22 wins, so it should be interesting.

        In the near future.. Chad Dawson or possibly Andre Berto, Andy Lee etc.

        After that I think it will be Gamboa,Khan and Jacobs.

          I was thinking Gamboa. Andy Lee could be the real deal if you believe all the hype Manny's been throwing out about him, but I'm not really convinced.

            Of the ones that are already rising, maybe, MAYBE Amir Khan. NOT Dawson or Berto, remember we are talking about PBF, RJJ type of dominance here, not just being an excellent fighter.

            The cuban prospects people are discussing about are all quite interesting, Gamboa being the most logical choice, when someone fights like that, either they are Roy Jones or Muhammad Ali or they end up exposed fast, we'll find out quite soon I guess.

              Gamboa is already stepping up against Jose Rojas, an experienced veteran and a former title contender who went the distance with WBA SFW champion Chris John twice (one decision loss, one draw), in his next (10th) fight.
