    Who has the brightest future?

    There are a lot of young guns out there garnering major attention, and for good reason. Three guys that come to mind are Andre Ward, Joel Julio, and Amir Khan. I think all three of these guys are future world champions, and have unlimited potential. We haven't seen much of Khan or Ward yet, but they both appear to be special fighters. Of the three, Julio has impressed me the most, and I think he's eventually going to be one of the best pound-for-pound in the world. Julio Caesar Chavez, Jr., on the other hand, has a lot of maturing to do, and just hasn't impressed me as much as these three. Jr. will probably pad his record like his dad, and have about 40 or 50 bouts under his belt before taking on formidable opponents. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for his father, and I think Jr. will have an excellent career. However, in my eyes, Joel Julio is the most impressive up-and-comer I've seen. So, who do you all think is the most promising prospect out there? Feel free to write in other guys I may have left out. A few guys may have slipped my mind, and there may be some future stars that I'm unaware of. As always, thanks for your input.

    Edison Miranda and Juan Urango look like they will be legit contenders if not champions in the next year or so.

      I can't argue with that.

        I think Kevin Mitchell and John O'Donnell would beat Amir Khan.

          I suspect that a lot of people will pick other, but that just makes it more interesting.

            Right now, they very likely would, but I think Khan will emerge as a superstar in a few years. Thanks.

              I remember reading a long time ago that someone had told a boxing writer, can't remember his name, to keep placing bets on Tito Trinidad until he lost. The writer said if he had done this he would have alot more money.

              I think I'm going to do the same on Joel Julio.

                No, I think Mitchell and/or O'Donnell will beat Khan in the future.
                Be it two years, three years or any other kind you got.

                    I would have to go with Joel Julio, he has so much talent and power that is hard to pick against him. I'd like to see him step up in class soon, so I can get a better ppicture of what hes made of. I think Andre Ward has the lowest upside of all the aforementioned prospects. He has a garbage chin, fights like hes still in the Golden Gloves, and has yet to show impressive KO power. He looks like Zaheer Raheem in there.
