Who is your favorite up and comer?

[Pharcyde]

I like Gamboa as well. Erislandy Lara too.

As far as Guillermo Rigondeaux, I dunno I think he may have burned himself out in the amateurs.

How old is Rigondeaux.

[Boxer1590]

How old is Rigondeaux.

I think he's 28 or 29. But he had a loooot of amateur fights. I haven't been too impressed by him in his pro fights despite him being dominant. I guess I just expected too much out of him.

[THE REED]

He turns 29 September 30th.

Roy Jones?

too young to be considered as an up and comer.

[COYS]

Matt Korobov for me

[Spray_resistant]

There is this kid who fights at 122 named Derrick Wilson who i think is good though he needs some work on defense. He stopped an unbeaten hype job on Versus and got another stoppage on Versus in November, both were 1st round ko's.

[Bushidō]

No doubt its Jorge Linares for me

[Vasyl’s dad]

Gamboa bar none. With his physical skills and style, its going to be exciting watching his career unfold.
