Who's your favourite Upcoming Boxers?

[Nonito Smoak]

A couple of these guys may have, or definately have, already peaked but still:
Kazuto Ioka
Shinsuke Yamanaka
the Kameda brothers
Leo Santa Cruz
Mario Rodriguez
Adrian Hernandez
Sergei Kovalev
Bryant Jennings
Moruti Mthalane
Thomas Oosthuizen
Argenis Mendez

* my list only features a few "prospects," the rest of them I view as up and coming top tier fighters (most of them are, I know, but I'm saying that I believe in them).

Some guys I'm back and forth on like Carl Frampton, Gary Russell, Keith Thurman, etc.

I hate inactive fighters. Especially the talented ones. Alot of it is cos they only fight if every thing is perfect, the opponent, the purse, the venue etc. etc.

Just step in the ring!!!

That KO was beautiful though.

About a year ago, he said he would retire if he couldn't get a top 5 MW opponent... not quite so, but I really see Pirog retiring after 5 fights or less no matter what or when they are. So, I think Pirog is not what this thread is about; up and coming boxers.

Keith Thurman
Sergey Kovalev

[Vyborg1917]

Leo Santa Cruz: (Def!).

Lee Selby: (Poss?).

Deontay wilder: (Heresy!).

Leo Santa Cruz, constant work to the body with those hooks and decent defense breaks down all of his opponents. A machine.
