Whos the absolute highest ceiling prospect in boxing?Berlanga,Teo/Ortiz/Boots/etc?.

David Morrell Jr. ! Really hope the Ryder fight happens for him that would be a very good test for him this early in his pro career. Was a excellent amateur and it is rare a Cuban Stand Out is able to Defect as young as Morrell Jr. Usually they come over much later

Jared Anderson! Top Rank doing a great job building him up and keeping him extremely active but of course he has a long way to go but has a very high ceiling

You're absolutely right that Morrell looks great already at only 4 fights & can go far(hed could be 1st cuban to become a star because hes not boring af)


Anderson needs to change his nickname asap,its tained by Big Gayby miller

Maybe someone can chime in on who looks great thats young from the UK? I haven't kept up on young prospects from UK as much

I mean who looks like they will retire accomplishing the most(who looks like they will end up being hofer over others).(I added Bud in there because he qualifies to me as a prospect at ww still) I mainly tried to include those who are still considered prospects still,Teo Because hes very young & a prodigy

But basically it boils down to,which of them do you see as future greatness, Crawford was halfway tongue in cheek

Ok, well if the bold is the standard, Crawford has to be the answer, because the era of 3+ division champion is unlikely for everyone else listed due to who's in the divisions now.

Teo is not going to look anywhere near as impressive above 147. I don't even think he gets past someone like Vergil Ortiz AT 147.

But Vergil Ortiz's power seems to have hit a cap at 147 and it's doubtful he'll make a lot of noise at 154.

I still say guys like Ennis and Berlanga are drops in the bucket just waiting to be exposed, like DuBWAH and Verdejo.

So yes, I'll stick with Crawford BECAUSE I can see him having limited success and a minor title (WBO/IBO) at 154. Which would make him a 4-division champion. So I find him to have the closest potential of the list.

Other than Crawford...I'm going to put my vote on "The Albanian Bear", Reshat Mati. The guy punches way too nice, he's defensively smart and he has a gimmick about him. He fought THREE times during the pandemic.

I think he's headed for big things.

Bud is basically 34,& if he doesn't get the Pac fight next were looking at at least age 35 before he unifies with Spence if even,& even though he beat Indongo & Gamboa to me Teo already has better wins in Commey & Loma.Especially considering his age to Buds(he has over a decade head start)& I don't see Bud ever fighting at 154(he'd have done it by now imo)

Also take into consideration whether you think Bud even wins future matchups at ww esp aged 35 fights vs Spence/Porter/Ugas & it muddies the waters that much more?

Remember...154 is arguably the weakest division right now.

Crawford already said he's considered moving up, the only reason he doesn't is Arum. But when the contract's up he might. He should - two of the champions would be easy pickings (Lara and Teixiera).

I think people have to stop wanting Crawford to fight people at 147. He's made it clear he has no intention of accepting his B-Side status. That means those fights aren't going to happen. Ok, so then go to 154 and cash in your guaranteed WBO, be the A-Side up there.

Teo is no “prospects” he’s the lightweight king if he’s a “prospect” then guys like Loma are up and comers.

I'm aware hes legit unified champ. Hes still a prospect Because of his age, meaning he hasn't peaked yet since hes not yet near his prime. (I consider Benevidez & Fulton prospects too for similar reasons)

Berlanga is so overhyped it makes me puke
