A thread for the next up comers.... Grzegorz "Super G" Proksa Middleweight 11-0-0 (KO 7) 22 years old, fights as southpaw, with impressive amauter record 130-10-3, holding both WBC and IBF youth middleweight title. A very impressive body puncher, very promising to win a title later in the future. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=301164&cat=boxer
Octavio Lara Josh Cobb Stephon Pryor Hector Camacho Jr. Jorge Paez Jr. Thats like the upper half of pfp rankings in the next five years.
Haxhi Krasniqi only 19 years old light heavyweight won 17 (KO 3) + lost 2 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 19 http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=334763&cat=boxer Krasniqi is very young and has a great potential, one day he might get up there. Very good athlete who needs to work a bit more on his punching power.
I'm very biased to my the fighters from around my area in Detroit. Johnathon Banks (Cruiserweight)- 17-0 (13 KO's) NABO Cruiserweight Title Holder Andy Lee (Middleweight)- 10-0 (7 KO's) Lanardo Tyner (Light Welterweight)- 16-0 (9 KO's) Vernon Paris (Light Welterweight)- 15-0 (11 KO's) Before the Curtis Stevens fight,Andre Dirrell would've made this list,but not so much now.Hopefully his brother Anthony beats cancer (regardless if he ever fights again),but if he can fight again he is by far the more talented of the Dirrell brothers. As for non-Detroit fighters- Anthony Peterson (Lightweight)- 23-0 (17 KO's) And of course.....the great Charlie Zelenoff...aka Vicious Boxer!!! LOL
Also...Stephan Pryor is 32 and has been a pro since 1992 only having 14 fights (10-3-1,1 KO),hes hardly a prospect as a future champ...especially in 5 years which would make him 37.How did he make your future champ list?
Hehe, my bad for thinking putting these names up would leave no question about it being a sarcastic post :tong These are actually guys I have heard ppl trying to tout at one time or another as future champs and I lol'd everytime I read these names.
Charlie Zelenoff, hes only just turned pro, but apparently schooled Manfredo in sparring and outboxed HWs. Hes going to be special. Also Andre Berto, possibly Rey Bautista.
Some of you probably know about the Heavyweight KO kid, Denis Boytsov, he is only 21 and is working his way up the rankings. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=267630&cat=boxer
