    Beibot shumenov, Nathan Cleverly and Tyson Fury

    Shumenov has beaten former world champs such as Byron mitchell and Montell Griffin aswell as taking on top competitors such as Mendoza and recently challenged for the WBO light heavyweight championship but lost due to Campillo due to a debatable decsion despite knocking Campillo down.

    Cleverly is the british and commonwealth light heavyweight champion who trained with team Calzaghe and fought on the undercard of the Calzaghe - Hopkins fight

    Tyson Fury is a former ABA champion who so far has had 7 wins if i remember correctly all of which came by knockout and hes now challenging for the english Heavyweight title in september

    Hope that helps

    Tyson Fury; you gotta love a prospect who accidentally punches himself in the face. :D


    Deontay Wilder is another one, really young and raw, but he's a beast.

    Kirkland going away, to me, was almost like another boxer death. It hurt the fight game. He might have just said goodbye to his prime and I think that prime was going to be the light middleweight version of Joe Frazier's prime. The way he walked through Julio's punches and busted him up. He was going to become the man to beat at light middle. Gigantic waste there. Sad stuff.

    Jose Guzman is another good prospect to look at. He is the brother of Joan Guzman. The kid is very talented, should go far. I think he is with Gary Shaw. Keep on eye on him.

    Another one, who I haven't seen, but, have heard a lot about is, Francisco Contreras. He is 10-0-10KO. Dying to catch him sooner or later.

    Kell brook,

    Hes guna be a superstar one day i got a feeling, he looks to have the whole package now he sits down on his punches, we will get a better idea of his capeabilities when he fights michael jennings in october but im pretty confident hes going to do a number on him

    Jorge Linares. He's a 2 weight champ but hasn't really stepped it up to the top level yet. He is definately worth keeping an eye on
