    Froch and Pascal have already fallen.

    Pirog will as well, if Martinez gets his hands on him. Gamboa will have a year no different to 2011.

    The only way Pirog will fall is if he slips on the oil at his feet.Guy's the slickest thing to come out the eastern bloc.Seriously though,I'm no big fan of Alvarez,but who takes him down?Don't see him taking any real risks in the near future,even though he should.And even though I can see Dawson beating Hopkins,I've learned that you never write the old guy off.Don't blame Bute fans for feeling confident about Froch,I'd feel the same but I won't abandon my support for him.Just keep my expectations a bit more realistic.

    Agree except I think Canelo will rise. The guys only 21 why do you think he will fall?

    Carl Frampton will also rise :good

    Do you see him fighting Quigg this year?
    I'm intrigued by those two.

    Both are very very good. But Quigg is a monster at the weight. I'd fancy him if as when they meet

    I really do, Maybe later in the year but both guys want the fight, the fans want the fight and McGuigan wants to move Carl onto bigger things so I don't see why not.

    :hey

    I love watching Vasyl box, He'll definitely rise after he turns pro. It'll be like when Gamboa first turned pro.

    I am with you, brother.

    This kid has fast hands, superior footwork, and rapidly developing punch power.

    Honestly, I think he can beat Brandon Rios right now. :bbb

    A bold statement but I'm inclined to agree. Vasyl is a way better boxer but Rios might be too much for him. Too aggressive and experienced.
