2013 Prospect of the Year?

[Da Machine]

Anyone but Errol Spence. Im tired of the "Slick, Black, American" always being titled the next great thing, because they look smooth in the ring.

It's without a doubt Lomanchenko. He went from Prospect to title contender in one fight.

Ali Raymi is ranked 10th at 105 lbs in boxrec rankings. I'd like to see any other prospect ranked as highly as that. All the paper champs at 105 have taken notice. Maybe he fights like an 11 year old because he is the size of an 11 year old. Besides I've seen some pretty good 11 year olds fight.

care to explain what's going on here, sparkdawg?

lomachenko has peaked my interest the most, but he's a very odd case.

he fought once, and it was his debut. if that disqualifies him for some, i'm cool with that.


there aren't any young fighters who are still in the prospect stage that jump to mind immediately in front of the others. i'll even go so far as to say that there aren't a ton of young fighters who have peaked my interest.

No other prospect is rated that high becuase theyre in a division with some competition. And how many undefeated Yemeni fighters can there possible be?

Ya i understand that but before i spring to judgement i need to see him fight more than once. and if he fights salido next hes no longer a prospect.

The picture, bro? I saw a documentary called "The Two Escobars." It's about Andres Escobar, the Colombian soccer player, who was killed after the 1994 World Cup, and Pablo Escobar, the drug lord, who was associated with the team. Rene Higuita, shown below, was the goalie for the Colombian soccer team, and the dude is crazy. Other players are talented, he's God gifted.

With 1 fight?

i actually think it should be Felix Verdejo, esp since PR desperately needs a new staple champ (besides Danny, who the US claims)

but Loma is hard to shake. dude is fighting for a title in his 2nd pro fight

Have you watched Spence fight? He isn't some "slick" defensive wizard he'sbeen an offensive minded fighter looking for KOs.

I also pick.lomachenko just because he's such a rare case, supposedly 300-1 amateur and already signed for a title fight. With 1 fight he has a better resume than Gary Russell jr lol

Ya Verdejo is a very skilled fighter with a very high ceiling. i dont know if he is my cantidate for prospect of the year but hes definatly in the top 3
