      Good stuff Scully, I remember seeing a young 12-0 WW fighter, that had patience & technique like that of a polished vet, his name is Andre Berto...I remember saying immediately after I saw him, (and this WILL sound crazy) I said: "That's the guy that's going to BEAT Floyd" That's a bold statement & I MAY be incorrect, but it's something about Berto that "stands out" and/or "Special". Even Floyd himself (during initial press conference for the Hatton fight) said that Berto (minus the few mistakes he makes now) WILL be the future of the 147lb division...we'll have to see!

        Yea, Berto is very skilled, etc. I saw him as an amateur, too. But, like I say, the guys I initially mentioned, they really stood out as exceptional in tournaments where 300 other boxers were present

          Have you seen any amateur boxers that stand out like the ones you mentioned lately?

              That was very cool Iceman, can't wait for the Olympic games this summer.

              I can't wait to see this new documentary, It's right up your alley.

                I thought Jaidon Codrington was a can't miss prospect, but it's all about how you're brought up.

                  Hey John, I was at Buddy McGirt's gym the other day and couldn't help but noticed your HIV Awareness poster was on the door to the gym. Nice work.

                      Jaidon was considered a blue chip prospect coming out of the amateurs, yea
