    2012 guys - who shines?

    Who do you seen in 2012 making a big statement in the boxing world?
    Lets stick our necks out!

    For me it is Rakhim Chakiev...Guy kills any cruiser, any place, anytime!

    I think Kevin Mitchell may cause a few upsets. Broner is certainly a big talent that has gone under the radar IMO! What he did, not what but the way he went about it in 2011 got my attention.

    Cotto is another guy I could never count out. God I still can't believe a good poster tried telling me Cotto's jab wasn't great, the more I watch it the more I think fcuk it's one of the best ever!

    Golovkin I like but still uncertain of.

    Gamboa though I don't think he'll do much this year. Rigondeux definitely has the potential to do unheard of shizzle!

    Kell Brook - Love the guy but I'm getting a bit annoyed with his management tbh
    Matthew Hatton, are you fcuking kidding me? Brook smashes him! Though I suppose it's a statement if he stops the very very durable Matty Hatton.

    I think it could be a big year for Donaire, he has had the chance to shine before though and not snatched it....

    Scott Quigg should be at world level by the end of the year and i feel he will be a real player on the world scene

    It feels like its about time for young Saul Alvarez to shine and he has the opponents to do it against but his best option - a Cotto fight, id slightly favour Miguel based on his experience and the jab so that would wreck his year...

    Andre Ward can also keep up his amazing run and hopefully capitalise on his Super Six win

      That is a nice list & I was going to add Donaire but I'm just not sure about his opponents etc

      Scott Quigg is definitely a darkhorse, he's only like 22 and improving immensely - BIG talent.

        I think he merks Frampton and moves onwards and upwards without much fuss, like u say he is a BIG talent

          Frampton is a good guy, in fact he was at my gym only a few weeks back but he needs to avoid Quigg like the plague IMO

          Way too much for him at this stage.

            Yeah? Thats bad ass bro!

            Where do u train anyway?


            I like Carl too but Quigg is a level up if u ask me, Frampton needs a few more fights before he even thinks about it..... Id stick him in with Kiko

              Chakiev is a guy ive liked for a while. Hopefully he fights some good opponents this year.

                    My spider senses are tingling, and they tell me Mikey Garcia will be the 2012 FOTY. J. Gonzales will lose his belt first, then a stay busy fight, and then JuanMa at the end of the year, let's make it happen.
