    A lot of it is being introduced to the sport when they are very very young and learning the right fundamentals earlier rather than later. Floyd Snr said he started training Floyd when he was in the crib.

      Rigondeanux is already like 28, and fights at 122.
      bad combination.

      If hes going to pull of anything worthwhile, he better get his in gear.

      Gamboa isnt incredibly young either, and imo relies more on athleticism than natural talent.

      Lara I havent decided on yet.

      I would hardly call them polished yet though.

      Kostya Tszyu certainly deserves to be in this discussion. imo, he could have won a professional alphabet title even in his amateur days.

        I to have me reservations about Gamboa. I think he will be a champ but he is not the kind of fighter where i would not have any apprehension about putting him in the with a Champion.

        Good call on KT.
