      Some names for sure are a bit strange to see there for sure...I mean Chavez Jr ahead of someone like Lomachenko?? But Bradley...he isn't exactly old...sure he aint at the start of his career but he has years ahead of him.

          It's an article written from some naive **** I bet. Either that or they don't have the bollocks to rank a boxer on his amateur merit(s). Bradley doesn't deserve to be on that list.

          At first I thought it was a list for prospects who aren't yet world champions but on their way... Bradley's had a belt for the last 6 years...

            "could become contenders..."

            Most of these guys are multiple world champions, some even at different weights.

            Still, I guess if the writer named a bunch of guys the mainstream had never heard of, the article probably wouldn't have got printed.

              Lol - don't you think that's ironic...I'm lazy by making it easier for you readers not posting a huge block of writing with 30 boxers each with their own little piece? But you aren't lazy if you don't even have the desire to click on a link?

                Lol yeah it's pretty much targeted at the casual. Sort of shows you the difference between the stuff the casual knows about the sport (and about current contenders) in comparison to a boxing forum who knows these fighters inside out already.
