      What about James Degale?? i am not on Dwyers level thinking he can beat Dirrel, Bute, Kessler ATM!!! But in a few years he can be a top fighter imo

        if it was just Hopkins then yeah I could say gameplan played a part in it

        but I have seen a few of his fights and that's the way he fights. The Galarza fight he was the same.

        His talent is impressive but again I am not that over the top the way TS is

          After seeing Ismayl Sillakh's destruction of Despaigne a few weeks ago, he strikes me as a can't miss prospect that alot of light heavyweights better get ready for.
          Good call on Syllakh... that guy made a Cuban look useless boxing on the outside... not the easiest thing to do.

          He really does look like a wrecking force for the future of the light heavyweight division.

            I haven't seen him... I'll make sure to tune in if/when he fights George Groves, because I have heard that really is a fight that can't be missed, even though it's just two prospects going at it.

              I understand, me, I don't like to jump on anyone's bandwagon unless their heart has been tested, hopefully we see Solomon soon and against a good opponent too. Guys should avoid Demetrius Hopkins

                I have not seen Solomon at all so I need to catch up on that. Sillahk (The Black Russian?) is the complete package. Hopefully he goes up weight and challenges bigger guys.

                  My #1 prospect is still Matt Korobov. Technically he's great, gots the basics down solid, plus he's very atheletic and intelligent in the ring. I see him having a long succesful career.

                  Other notables:

                  Sadam Ali
                  James DeGale
                  Frankie Gavin
                  Alfonso Blanco (Insane body puncher)
                  Frankie Gomez
                  Jose Benavidez

                  Just a few off the top of my head.

                      not sold on Ali to be honest

                      Blanco is a HUGE 154lb fighter. He fought on Canelo's card and that is one big dude

                      Gomez is up in Big Bear with Abel Sanchez (Antillon's trainer)
