Prospects of 2013 thread!

I like Top Rank promoted 6'2 255 pound Heavyweight Andy Ruiz Jr, he's 17-0 with 11 kos. He's got really good hand speed. He hasn't fought very good competition, but if he can get in better shape, he might become a contender.

Sharif Bogere counts? He's about to fight Abril.

I don't think he's a worldbeater, but it would be fun if he could become a factor.

This is the year of Gary Russell jr

[bigcursedawg]

Hanzel Martinez is Margarito's brother in law and he is yet to fight good competition but he's sure fun to watch.

Carlos Buitrago is from Nicaragua and looks to have the goods but is hasn't fought that great of competition either.

Someone already mentioned Miguel Berchelt and I have only sees one or two of his fights but he looks pretty good and we will see how he looks against Cruz.

Ryosuke Iwasa lost to Yamanaka in his 8th pro fight. IMO Yamanaka is one of the best bantamweights in the world and Iwasa showed a lot of grit in that fight but also showed a lack of defense. But he still young and has fought some good fighters.

Amir went to prison again tho?
Seems like he wont have much time once he gets out.

This is the year of Gary Russell jr

2013 could very well be the year Gary breaks out. He's certainly one of the best prospects out there.

Claudio "The Matrix" Marrero
Demetrius Andrade.

I'm expecting big things from Keith Thurman as well.

[koji mizuhara]

Naoya Inoue
Yukinori Oguni
Shuhei Tsuchiya
They are promising prospects of Japan, especially Inoue.

Jonathan "Bomba" Gonzalez
Ghislain Maduma
Eleider Alvarez
Julio Ceja
Jack Culcay
Rakhim Chakhkiev
Some of these guys will get a title shot in 2013.
