The most promising truly untested fighter

[SkillspayBills]

Valero BY FAR! Amir Khan comes in second since he gets so much exposure without fighting anyone that could be considered a threat.

It can be a current world champion, as long as they haven't beaten anyone really worth talking about.

My example would be Joan Guzman. The dude has a belt, but hasn't really gotten a seriously big name fight yet.

What do you all think?

Wayyy off base.

Soto is a really good fighter and Barrios is legit too.
Has he fought one of the superstars? No. Honestly, I don't think the superstars want to see him right now. Too risky.

But Guzman has def been tested.

dawson certainly isnt the guy for this thread.

tomas adamek may not be a household name but that fight was a real test.

dont forget he was dropped hard in that fight.

Calzaghe, Hands down...

haha whaaaaat?

I guess I used the wrong words then. I meant a guy who hasn't fought a superstar elite.

They were busy fighting each other weren't they?

nope......barrera had like 1 year to fight him...and didnt want to...it was still the gbp-top rank feud though.......but at least he should have fought other guys instead of soto's left overs.... arum had it easy to make a pacquiao-soto fight.......but i guess he didnt want danger for pacquiao.....soto was definatly a better fight than raheem's drained leftovers, an ancient bloated oscar larios or solis who?...

What about Chad Dawson? I know he gots Glen Johnson next who is very good, but I guess some people wouldn't consider him elite. He'll definitely test Dawson though.

Chad Dawson is a good name to have in this discussion. I haven't seen the rest of those actually.

When I think of the most promising guy, I think of the guy who has shown the least amount of weakness that could possibly cost him a match. Dawson has shown an affinity for getting caught once a fight, but for the most part he sticks to boxing well and not getting hit much. Guzman fights almost a perfect defensive fight from what I've seen.

Berto has a good offense, but I am really worried that his defense is going to get his ass knocked out at one point.

What? Dawson beat one of the top light heavyweights in Adamek. And in damn near shut-out fashion. (If not for the knockdown)



I would say Valero seems to be the most un-tested promising fighter.

[Chunk..]

Chad Dawson.

Joe Calzaghe.

Junior Witter.

Exactly, Dawson had the test in Adamek already, Valero has had nothing.

Yes...if anything Marquez "ducked" him. I'm not really into all that bull, but Soto was far more deserving then Juarez or Solis.
