To me once a fighter gets a title he's no longer a prospect.

True. But they are all under 25, with the exception of Solis, who has only been boxing professionally for 2 years anyway.

1) Amir Khan 18-0 (14 KO) (Lightweight)
2) Edwin Valero 24-0 (24 KO) (Super Featherweight)
3) Juan Manuel Lopez 22-0 (20 KO) (Super Bantamweight)
4) Andre Berto 22-0 (19 KO) (Welterweight)
5) Vernon Paris 18-0 (12 KO) (Light Welterweight)
6) Mike Jones 14-0 (12 KO) (Welterweight)
7) Odlanier Solis 10-0 (6 KO) (Heavyweight)
8) Andre Dirrel 15-0 (10 KO) (Super Middleweight)
9) Andre Ward 16-0 (11 KO) (Super Middleweight)
10) Timothy Bradley 22-0 (11 KO) (Light Welterweight)

Many many more Prospects but these 10 were the most eyecatching...

No offense but this list really is horrible. Amir Khan has fought nobody and is tops on the list, but Bradley and Lopez are both champs with big name wins in their last fight and they are 3 and 10???

Just because a fighter is young doesn't make him a prospect, Valero, Lopez, Bradley and Berto are all titlists.

And I think Gamboa is the best prospect in boxing right now.

true. but being british and from manchester (near bolton), i would say amir khan is the most promising. Just needs to get rid of Frank Warren and be tested more... Bradley and Lopez are still young and green, which is why i have out them up...

what would your list look like?
