    ive seen 2 of the 5 and like i say he looks like he might mature into a winner, ill check out Banks too, nice one.
    That's routine opposition but he seems to be beating them pretty easily, I'll be looking out for him for sure.

    I forgot about Victor Ortiz, he is championship material.

      Learn a little bit about these boxers before you reply.

      Just because they're not Americans, doesn't mean you have to have that ****** prejudice against them.
      Man dont get hostile that your fighters cant quite amount to what the American fighters can, its okay. And we aint talkin about the amateurs so when you homie fights 1 of those 3 fighters and wins.....which is very far fetched....then i will eat my words....dont worry someday you EE fighters will really blow up......






      Then again who the **** am i kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        oh yeah, no denying that the opposition is routine atm, hopefully it wont be the case (like so many others) in perhaps 10 more fights or so.

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

              gamboa should be #1 and Khan #2. you don't even have gamboa in the top 10. thats like making a p4p list without including pacquiao.

                Good list, I think everyone would agree that Andre Ward has a very promising future. The only other fighter I would add to that list would be Ireland's John Duddy. The last I read he was ranked tenth in the Middleweight division by The Ring Magazine, and I think that's a little ridicolous, considering he is yet undefeated and has won a majority of his fights by knockout.

                      LOL he is good, i didnt say he wasnt. he just got KTFO, so that drops him outside of the top 10. why do you put a fighter in the p4p rankins then take him out when he gets beat? same reason here
