I cannot find a thread like this. But I thought I would make a list of some rising prospects with potential to have good careers, or just make some noise. If anybody would like to contribute, maybe you could post vids of recent fights for any prospects when they fight, or any recent news. Since a lot of these guys will probably fight often and a lot of times their fights go unnoticed and many fans don't get a chance to see our possible future stars.

Also I am not including guys who could of been considered "prospects" with the amount of fights they have, but have taken big step ups and fought somewhat of a world class-level opponent. (I.E. Glazkov, Jennings, etc) or guys who haven't fought the best opponents but are in a position already for a title shot. I.E. Wilder, etc. I am also only including prospects who have made their professional debuts and not amateur prospects.

(some guys have a lot more amateur experience and will probably be moved at a faster pace, and some are older as well + the deep amateur pedigree so they will be moved faster then guys like Lubin, Galazara, etc. although they're being moved fast. but as far as quality of opposition- there's no rush for the young guys)

Guys to look out for:

Errol Spence
Egor Mekhontsev
Artur Beterbiev
Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Elieider Alvarez
Ryno Liebenberg
Radivoje Kalajdzic
Aik Shakhnazaryan
Joseph Parker
Frankie Gomez
Timo Schwarzkopf
Amir Imam
Erickson Lubin
Dennis Galazara
Tyron Zeuge
Anthony Joshua
Umberto Savigne
Vasily Lephikin
Vyacheslav Shabranskyy
Enrico Koelling
Egidijus Kavaliauskas
Callum Smith
Fedor Chudinov
Mark Heffron
Felix Verdejo
Taras Shelestyuk
Ryoto Murata
Carlos Diaz Ramirez
Arif Magomedov
Tony Harrison
Julian Williams
Roman Belaev
Mikael Zewski

Inoue is already the wbc 108 champ after dispatching Hernandez. But his brother Takuma is 2-0 and is already a interesting prospect, along with their stable mate Matsumoto.

Besides Takuma Inoue and Ryo Matsumoto I'd add

Bahodir Mamadjonov
Brian Carlos Castano
Palangpol CP Freshmart
Levan Ghvamichava
Ja-Ik Goo
Mark Magsayo
Kosei Tanaka
Petch Sor Chitpattana
Junior Makabu
Richard Claveras
Knockout CP Freshmart
Adrien Estrella
Yunieski Gonzalez
Min Wook Kim
Rey Vargas
Makazole Tete
Isaac Dogboe

He may be the champ, but he is still a prospect in my eyes because not that many people know about him on this site.

**Inkanyamba** · 08-23-2014, 11:19 PM

Robert Easter Jr
Rau'Shee Warren
Errol Spence

Those are the big three that stand out to me.

Robert Easter and Errol Spence are already on the list.

Nicholas Walters is a name you can add to the list. Your still a prospect if you are the Regular WBA Champ. He is not the super champion.

I'm looking forward to him too but damn I was pissed when I heard he signed to Top Rank. What a waste.

I feel you. Nobody really knows who he is but he's established himself as one of the best fighters at 108, just behind Nietes IMO. He's a incredible talent and I expect big things in his career.
And by the way they are matching his brother I wouldn't be surprised to see another pair of sibling champions.
