    So, you're a big fan of the Prize Fight stable?

    My personal favorites (of guys who don't already have a title shot lined up):
    Danny Jacobs
    Luis Garcia
    Erislandy Lara
    Mikey Garcia
    Matt Korobov

    I love to watch Fernando Guerrero as a fighter (obviously), but I question whether he'll have a belt in the next three years. He still seems kind of raw to me to get there too quickly. I like Porter too, but his physical limitations mean he may struggle to win a belt.

    Marvin Sonsona would have been near the top of my list, but he's already won a belt now.

    A few others I like a lot, but who will probably take more than 3 years to win a title:
    Tor Hamer
    Dmitry Chudinov
    Ismakael Perez
    Demetrius Andrade
    Frankie Gavin (yes, I still like him better than the other UK prospects)

    Yeah, that a great list...I picked fighters that very few may know yet. Thats why I didn't use Andrade or Guerrero. I think even the "novice" Boxing fans are aware of the hype surrounding those fighters. Hylon Williams and Antwone Smith really stand out to me.

    Jacobs and Lara are pretty well-known also. I have been watching this kid Jermel Charlo....He's ok....Nothing jumps out right away that makes me think...WOW!!! There is a Puerto Rican (I think) Raymond Serano...Nice...but he is SO UN-DISCIPLINED.

    I like the way Smith fights. Needs some more experience of course. I hope both Ohio guys become champions of course!
