I am putting everyone on notice. The next big fighters in boxing are going to be John Duddy of Ireland and the Peterson Brothers. Lamont the boxer and Anthony the fighter and Andre Ward of the US boxing team.
John Duddy: John has developed a keen ability to throw to the body. Very reminisent of Irish Mickey Ward. If he can improve upon his defense he will be a very good fighter.
Lamont Peterson: Lamont is clearly the better boxer out of the duo of him and his brother. He does not possess the knockout power that many would like to see but a great boxer none the less. He is very reminisent of Winky Wright.
Anthony Peterson: Anthony is a mix between a brawler and a boxer. He has very fast hands, quick footwork, and plenty of heart. Personally i feel that he will make a lot of money in this business. Him and his brother were homeless from the time they were 3. They walked all night every night in search of food, clothing, and shelter. They have been through hell and back. So win it comes to heart they have plenty of it. Not to mention they have lived in Kronks Gym since they were 11.
Andre Dirrell: Andre is Arguably the best 160 pound fighter the U.S. has had in more than a decade, Andre Dirrell, possesses the kid of “five-starr” qualities that attract an audience. In 2003, he twice decisioned the highly-regarded Jesus Gonzales, of Phoenix, Az.
Dirrell is a thinker with the ability to expose the flaws in any style. He can offer up an ambidextrous attack – switching at any given moment – and land power shots from either position. But his ability to switch – if he isn’t careful – can end up hurting him. He often switches for no apparent reason. If he is controlling the fight in the southpaw position, there is no reason to turn.
Andre Ward: There is no reason Ward can't be the new face of boxing. None. He is young (21), humble, devout, respectful and very good with his fast (though sub-thundering) fists. From King's Gym, he launched an amateur career that culminated with his gold medal performance in last summer's Olympics. He is off to a fast start as a pro -- 5-0.
Ward is a middleweight, a class which boasts a roll call of champions that includes Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Carlos Monzon, Emile Griffith, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jake LaMotta, Tony Zale. Will he be there someday. We can only wait and see...
