Lists a bunch of prospects from a few years ago.. Interesting to see how they have panned out since

[Sadiqkingofko]

Lomachenko - Two Weight Champ
E. Alvarez - Fighting Stevenson next (can't see him winning tbh)
M. Browne - Still a contender
Jermall Charlo - World champ and already has beat the likes of Austin Trout and Bundarge and I rank him at #3 at 154 behind Canelo and Lara
Jermell Charlo - A step behind his brother but did pick up Mayweather's vacant championship will always be considered a paper champ until he steps up competition
E. Gomez - lost not too long ago to a journeyman
J. Hart - Still unbeaten prospect
D. H. Harrison - Still unbeaten but not even ranked in the top 50
B. Jennings - Tough contender by has been beaten twice
A. Joshua - Title holder at heavyweight
J. Magdeleno - became champion while beating former P4P fighter Donaire
A. Orozoco - Still unbeaten prospect
J. Ramirez - Still unbeaten prospect
I. Redkach - Has only won once in his last 4 fights
B. J. Saunders - World champ but a bigger puzzy than Walters
C. Smith - Mandatory challenger for Jack/DeGale winner (Can't see him beating either)
E. Spence - Mandatory challenger for Kell Brook (I see brook winning a tight fight)
O. Valdez - Title holder at featherweight but doesn't seem like he's anything special
F. Verdejo - Still unbeaten prospect
D. Wilder - Champion at Heavyweight

Some of those guys have won world belts and others have become established contenders but no one has become a definitive fighter. Loma is the closest to that call and another top win against Vargas defines him as the top guy at 130 or a win against Linares at 135 defines him as a genuine p4p threat.

Nice throwback. It will be interesting to see in say, 10 years time, if someone like Loma progresses from a P4P guy to an ATG.

Marcus Browne, forgot about that guy, reminded me of one of the years worst robberies
