    This thread died too soon, 160 is talented but guys aren't fighting eachother. Just wanted to ask all, what are everyone's thoughts on Peter Quillin?

    Also, N'Jiakm does not impress me.

      Feel free to add some in if I missed some.
      -Have to be 28 or under
      -Have to have a professional fight

      David Lemiuex: My favorite prospect. He has a lot of power and has recently started shortening his right hand, making it compact and sneaky...very dangerous fighter so far. Took out Elvin Ayala in one round, took Arthur Abraham 12 rounds to do it. Even better: only 22 years old.

      Gennady Golovkin: Technically not a prospect since he has a 'belt', but belts are so meaningless nowadays I just ignore them...not to mention he beat no one of note for it. Very solid fighter, tons of amateur experience...most notably TKOing Bute in the amateurs. Negatives: Hes already 28.

      Andy Lee: After losing to Brian Vera in a war, he has rebounded with 9 straight wins...Although I havent see any of his recent fights. 26 years old is decent, but already kind of old.

      Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: His 41 victories dont mean much, but he did look improved against John Duddy. lets see what Roach can make of him. dont forget hes only 24 years old.

      Matthew Macklin: I know nothing about him, but he is scheduled to fight Winky Wright next, so maybe Ill get to judge him there. Already 28 years old though....

      Fernando Guerrero: 24 years old and seems like a solid athlete. Fights aggressively and seems to have a lot of passion.

      Hassan N'Jiakm: Who is this guy? I dont have a clue who he is, but he seems to be fairly well respected and is 26, hopefully Ill get to see him against relevant opponents in the future.

      Matt Korobov: Havent been overly ipressed with him so far, his competition is so-so and hes already 28. Better get a move on quick if he wants to do anything in the division

      any others?
      Not anymore. Winky pulled out.

      Macklin gets alot of exposure here in the UK.

      He's nothing special, at all.

        Daniel Jacobs pretty much huge prospect. He was way too young and inexperienced when lost to Pirog, by his age 30 I hope this kid will be huge star.

          When we take a closer look at the divison, it's actually pretty good. Hopefully Guerrero steps up, same goes for Lemieux after he's done with Rubio and same goes for Pirog.

          As for Strum, I expect nothing from him, always will.

            Sturm got robbed against De La Hoya, that's why he fight nobodies and makes money. Understandable he won't come out of Germany then, but it's sad - cause dude really can box!

                It was 8 years ago and when it was fresh I could understand why he wouldn't want to take a risk for a while but..........yeah it was 8 years ago time to move on.
