    And we'll see how it plays out!

    - only those who are yet to pick up a world title count
    - you must name at least 5 fighters who haven't been mentioned by someone else in this thread before (so it worth being the first).

    Good luck! :deal

    Good thread idea but 25 is a bit of a stretch.

    Let's just start by naming any then we'll compile the 25 names!


    I'll start with the obvious.....Canelo Alvarez!

    I'd bet my house that either Jacobs or Pirog will pick up a title before the end of this month!

    I'm leaning towards Pirog at the minute i bet it will change more than once before the fight.

    I'm actually leaning toward a Jacobs decision, but I won't debate over it because I've only seen Pirog on You Tube.

    That's the whole point! Everyone can name a few, but can you name 25?!
    No, no, no. 25 names per poster, 5 new per post, so stop naming single fighters, because they will count as "already mentioned!" Like Canelo! :deal

    I've seen Pirog twice once giving Jantuah a complete lesson and his last fight where he looked good but not as good as i was hoping. His counter punching style could give Jacobs a few problems.

    Jacobs it's hard to believe how fast he has moved besides the smith fight which i thought was close but clear Jacobs he hasn't struggled with anyone. Should be a good fight looking forward to it and the whole card. Definitely one to split the forum.

    1) David Lemieux
    2) Fernando Guerrero
    3) Erislandy Lara
    4) Guillermo Rigondeaux
    5) Donovan George
    6) Andy Lee
    7) Yuriorkis Gamboa
    8) Robert Helenius
    9) Brandon Rios
    10)Anthony Peterson
    11)Victor Ortiz
    12)Kell Brook
    13)Saul Alvarez
    14)Mike Jones
    15)Alfredo Angulo
    16)Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam
    17)Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
    18)Gennady Golovkin
    19)Andre Dirrell
    20)Luis Garcia (cuban)
    21)Abner Mares
    22)Wilfredo Vazquez Jr
    23)John Murray
    24)Jose Benavidez Jr
    25)Denis Boytsov

    Just having a punt on a few of those to fill the 25! But I'd be confident in 15 of those names picking up a world title. Number 20 Luis Garcia has only 8 fights but i think he could make it pretty big in 2-3 years.

    Miguel Angel Garcia, this guy is a star in the making at Featherweight.
    Plus he could be fighting Salido for the IBF Featherweight belt shortly.
