    Who is your fav up and comer or young fighter out there today? I really enjoy watching Chad Dawson. I think he has a bright future. I don't think he's going to be 55-0 or anything, but I see great things for him in the future, starting with Glen Johnson ... your thoughts?

    *Whispers*

    Amir Khan

    Dodgy chin or not he's always good to watch with his speed and some of his shots.

    yeah Chad Dawson is tops but i dont think he can be considered a young up and comer anymore since he beat Adamek. How about Devon Alexander who beat Chop Chop Corley the other day..

    LOL I don't think Juan Diaz can be considered a young and up coming fighter anymore, He's a champion and probably the best in his division.

    I dont think that fighters that are already champions can be see as un and comers. So Dawson and Diaz should count.


    There are a long list of fighters that I like that will be super-middle and lt heavyweights, lead by Andre Ward. He people are moving him pretty fast, even for a gold medal winner. Which he did at 19. as a pro his victims have had a combined record of 117-40-5. He is big and fast. With all propects If his chin holds up I think that he will be a champion by the end of 2009 and p4p in 2010.

    As i said a few months back those guys at 160, 168, and 175 better enjoy their time while it last cuz a new sun is coming Ward, Dirrel, McGirt Jr, and a couple of others are about to shine baby:good :hi:
