LOL...Mares was scheduled to be on all the big GBP cards and get a title shot this fall, but he tore his retina. They have big plans for him, but he can't fight if he can't see. I agree that they didn't keep their prospects active enough two years ago, but if you pay close attention that is changing now. Mares just got hurt at a bad time. He was just ready to break out and GBP had big plans for him. It was an unfortunate injury.
Which Prospect Will Achieve The Most in '09?

Yeah and why no mention of Devon Alexander? He's going to be fighting Junior Witter this spring and then should get the Holt-Bradley winner before the end of the year if he beats Witter. Even if he were to only have those two fights (its possible with DKP) two wins would be a huge breakout.Comment

Looking at this list and realizing that there are lots more good prospects out there that isn't listed in this poll, only tells us that boxing's future is bright.Comment

Vanes Martirosyan in a big breakout year
Alferdo Angulo will also rise to the top
and Victor Ortiz shows alot of promise as well.Comment

Yeah, he should be the perfect blend of Fernando Vargas and Oscar De La Hoya. Hopefully GBP leads him in the right direction. We're still waiting on the announcement of his next opponent; I think it will be Vivian Harris as a main supporting bout of an HBO WCB card.Comment

Yeah, I didn't think about him already holding a title until after I clicked my mouse. There are so many prospects out there, 2009 should be a good one. Angulo's already lined up for a breakthrough performance with Mayorga and it's only his 15th fight. Let's hope he delivers.Comment
