    Out of the American Olympic team, I think Warren and Andrade are the most promising.

    Yanez might do well, Wilder needs work and I haven't been too impressed with Estrada.

      Wilder needs work and the guy has like zero experience. But a 6'7", coordinated guy with speed and power, could be interesting about 6 or 7 years down the road.

        Yeah, he's pretty marketable too. He has a good story, people could get behind him.

            If Guzman beats Campbell and then Marquez, you're looking at the next pound for pound champ once Pacquiao and Calzaghe are gone

              you all get way too hung up on age. if you haven't fought anyone or been through rough fights, you don't have wear and tear just from being old. look at Calzaghe. he's had 1 or 2 dangerous fights and is currently at his best. Lewis was at his best around age 35.

              Guzman could easily be pound for pound champ for two years say from 2009-2011

                  Felix Diaz will be good in about 4 or 5 years if he turns pro, very very marketable now.
