The problem is... everyone thinks they are a ****ing prospect now, and almost everyone with ANY skill takes the prospect's blueprint of fight taking...

So that means that we have a million prospects, and not all of them are going to deliver.

I also think that people are too quick to call people prospects and too quick to take them out of that arena and call them something more.

Someone like Joan Guzman and Juan Manuel Lopez are still in the prospective level IMO, because they have belts, but haven't had a fight against the real elite of the sport yet.

The real prospects that I can think of off the top of my head to actually be excited about are:

Gamboa
Linares
Guzman
Lopez

Probably missing some, but... You get my drift.

Guzman's beaten Humberto Soto and Jorge Barrios, two top 130 pounders. That's more then prospect. He's also 32 years old lol

Those dudes are good, but they aren't really the elite of the sport.

Do you honestly think Guzman is proven enough to be called elite?

I know my definition is different from the standard definition of prospect, but... it at least cuts down on this bull**** about being excited about someone like Chazz Witherspoon before he does anything.

Yes actually. Guzman's performances in those fights were incredible. Against Soto he made it look so easy and Soto is pretty good. He looked great against Barrios too trading punches with him (and Barrios is a huge puncher) and basically hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink.

I think if you beat top competition you have the best to be called one of the best in your division and if you look incredible while doing so, you deserved to be called elite.
