Most top prospects don't fight big punchers early in their careers - Steward maintains Lee has a good chin,time will tell
They don't always fight guy's with only 5 or 6 knockout's all the time. His opposition is similar to Amir Khan's. Muhammad Ali I know for one fought some good punchers when he was a prospect. Anthony Peterson's been in with some puncher's early on so don't bring in that all prospect's fight only feather fist's stuff cause that's not true.
Maybe Manny doesn't think Pavlik, Sturm, or Abraham are white enough. So, maybe Lee should really be labeled as the great translucent hope. :!:
Gamboa has ATG potential. Too be THAT good...THAT early. Sky is the limit. Berto is another that I would put over Lee as well.
I rate them the same, Berto is very flawed. Fast, but not accurate and very predictable. Also, his chin is ****.
oooo you go out on a limb with your predictions there don't you ? Taylor might beat Pavlik in a rematch, yeah you are going against the grain, livin on the edge.
I love all the Pavlik haters on this forum. Okay andy lee has good skill.. But please let the kid fight a few fights before u label him the champion. Pavlik is a strong 2 fisted fighter lee has never seen a puncher like him. How will he react. Plus every prospect looks great early.... WHY??? Cause they are fighting guys they pull out of the tavern!! Lets see him fight a miranda or RJJ or some1 trying to make there way up and then lets talk.
Andy Lee is a great talent,but to claim that Lee is the best or second best prospect out there is utter nonsense. His old rival Golovkin who beat him at the amateurs has turned pro,too.Golovkin has been matched quite toughly up to now.This classy fighter for sure is one of the most promising fighters out there.Besides he was far more successful than Lee at the amateurs. Gamboa fights like a future long reigning champ. Alexeev-one of the most feared punches at the amateurs and Solis' old rival has turned pro.He is now 13-0 and will soon take over the cruiser weight division. Selcuk Aydin,Vitaly Tajbert,Karoly Balzsay,and so on. There are so many great talents out there.Lee is one of them.Nevertheless he isnt alone out there.
