    Four talented young up and coming prospects that look promising. Who would you say is more likely to make it to being one of the top fighters down the road?

    I think Emeliano Vargas has what it takes, but all 4 are talented in their own right, any one of the 4 can become a breakout star down the road IMO.

    Albert "Chop Chop" Gonzalez is another prospect to look out for.

    Mason, Zayas is the most developed and very underrated

    Abdullah Mason is packing a serious glass chin.

    Zayas is good but nothing special.

    Not seen the other two yet, but I'd guess it'd be one of those.

    I don't reckon any of them will win a world title.

    Curmel Moton has a really good team behind him, and is clearly a talented kid. He is undoubtedly going to be guided to an easy title fight in the next 3 years.

    Zayas. He's looked pretty much perfect in all his fights and has fought the best competition of the people you mentioned.

    Moton looks good too but against the weakest competition. He's the youngest so he should have time to develop and not be rushed.

    Not been all that impressed with Mason tbh.

    Never seen that Vargas fight. Has he been in any good scraps yet? Just looked him up and saw he's at 140 lbs, god that division is packed.

    Zayas most proven by far.

    Vargas and Moton unproven.

    Mason has flaws including suspect defence/chin.

    Early days though.

    This is insane. Far lesser fighters have won titles. They will all win titles, Mason is potential p4p material.
