    Showtime has become my favorite channel in terms boxing viewership. One of the big reasons is because of their focus on young fighters. So who do you think are amongst the best in the sport that are under 27 years of age? Here's a list I came up with. Keep in mind that I only listed fighters that I have seen at least twice. The only exception is Koki Kameda whom I added for comedic purposes. Feel free to add or subtract from my list. Let's see if we can get a top 10.

    Great list.. I do like a lot of names on there.. Of that list, here's the five I think are the best..

    01. Chad Dawson
    02. Kelly Pavlik
    03. Nonito Donaire
    04. Andre Berto
    05. Timothy Bradley

    I think Lopez, Mares, and Linares will become big names in a couple of years..

    I've only seen him fight once, and that was a 1st round KO over Maussa. I also left out Angulo because I've only seen his fight against Gutierrez

    I have only seen Cloud fight once, and I liked whatI saw. I dont know how good he can be but he brings it. Definitely a fighter I wanna see again.

    Needs to improve the Jab a bit, other than that great power,speed and footwork, Hopefully steps up in class again next couple of fights and this time next year he wil be huge.

    Bradley, Dawson (who's going to be left in a couple of years to fight him at LHW? No one. He will rule for years. Jury still out on Berto: strugged too much defensively against light-punching Forbes.
