    You guys say that about every prospect.

    Young prospects can't hide behind there shoulder every fight like Floyd, or no one will watch them.

    There young and want to establish themselves by impressing the crowd. So they take chances and get hit more often.

      You can start picking at a number of these prospects...
      Spence is much more polished than verdejo.

          I like the kid but it's too early to tell, you never know if he will take a knee and follow the coward path of Kneeguel Chocho. Time will tell.

            Verdejo's not a complete fighter, but at 22, I'll wait and see more with him because he's shown some flashes...and Top Rank can probably hide more of his flaws with their match-making.

            Spence, at 25, is farther along and I just don't see anything that's elite with him. I think once he starts taking on better opponents his limitations will become very evident.

              I think I could beat Spence myself. Not too impressed. I sized him up in person, I'm faster, bigger, stronger. Remember Im 170, power of a HW with the speed of lightweight.

                I think the best prospects are imam, Verdejo, and Joshua.
                Good choices! Cannot disagree with them at all. Joshua is going to be a force to be reckoned with in a very short time, if he is not already! A young heavyweight who can move and box and has incredible power. I love to watch his fights and cannot wait to really see him tested.

                    That was his first time on a major tv broadcast wasn't it? I think he was just trying to make a great impression and went a bit overboard. If he gets some proper guidance, I think he has a great future. If he is allowed to run wild and turn into a showboat like Harrison, he may end up the same way.
