    Just realised there are quite a few good young American fighters emerging

    Ward, Dirrell, Dawson, Bradley, Alexander, Williams, Ortiz, Porter, Benavidez. (Am I missing anyone?)

    Not bad for a nation where boxing is supposedly dying.

    Who do you expect to go the furthest?

    I don't know about furthest, but Ill be watching Benavidez very closely (no ****). He's the youngest talent of the bunch, but his skills are lightyears beyond his age. I know he hasn't had many pro bouts yet, but he has the right people around him. Met the guy in Dallas too, and he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders.

        Alexander and Bradley are definetly going places, Ortiz has the whole Mexican-American thing going for him even though he's a PUTO so he'll definetly be in big fights later on especially if he beats Maidana. Benavidez is one of my favorites from the bunch, Great humble guy.

            Paul Williams, Dirrell, Ward and Dawson are ahead of everyone right now.

            But Henry, Alexander and Berto are next up.

                    Ward and Alexander stand out for me. And of the batch just below them Omar Henry.

                    Williams is a bit past "emerging" stage.
