      Saul Alvares is VERY marketable. So is WV2. I thought Mike Jones was gonna be somebody but ended up VERY disappointed with his last performance and ever though he's been around for a while, I would invest in Donaire because he will fill the gap when Pac is gone. On the other side and same story, Khan.

        I think that Erislandy Lara, Frankie Gomez, and Benevidez are the prospects with the most upside. They are all Hispanic and HBO loves to promote future Hispanic stars. The tried to do it with Ortiz until the Maidana fight and they will pick it up with one of these guys. I'd say Gomez is going to be the one they hype up because he has the Mexican street, cool-guy image. Benevidez looks too "geekish" for them to promote they way they want to- as the next ODLH. They could promote Lara as the next Gamboa as long as Gamboa keeps winning.

        There are a lot of great prospects out there but they ones to make it are going to be the ones that can win and make money by having fans. They have to look the part, be able to speak decent English, and have a good personality. HBO plays demographic games and they will pick either a Hispanic or African American boxer with a childhood tragedy or broken home story to go along with the package.

          that **** backfired on them real bad. They didn't do any research at all. Now they throw Khan in there too.

              Did you watch his last fight? That shit was a stinker.


              I'd go with Benavidez or OHenry (although I think he's letting his "celebrity" get the best of him).

                Out of that list, benavidez is the most talented, and he hasn't even fully matured yet.

                    Holy ****. Dude might be better than his brother. Better reflexes and just as much power. No? Maybe? Perhaps.

                    I like this dude though, so he gets my vote. Otherwise I vote for myself.
