    How I'd rank it:

    1. Yuriorkis Gamboa
    2. Juan Manuel Lopez
    3. Andy Lee
    4. Anthony Peterson
    5. Amir Khan
    6. Billy Dib
    7. AJ Banal
    8. Victor Ortiz
    9. Devon Alexander
    10. Timothy Bradley

    Abner Mares, Lamont Peterson, Yoan Pablo Hernandez, Alfredo Angulo and Odlanier Solis just miss. I'm not a huge fan of Andre Berto, and I think he projects more like a Josh Clottey type than a force long-term. I haven't seen enough Paul Appleby to know one way or the other, but I've heard good things. Not a fan of Paul Smith either. First he's too small to fight where he's been fighting, but he's too slow to compete at 154 where he should be.

    Top 5 all have potential to be P4P fighters (if Khan can improve his defense enough that he doesn't get knocked out repeatedly in the process).

    Not included were Povetkin (I think he's a top 5 HW now), Kameda (who's already held a belt) or Sithsamerchai (same).

    Other prospects I personally like but wouldn't include in the top 10 are James Kirkland, Chris Arreola, and Alfredo Angulo. I'm sure I've missed a few others as well.

    here is Paul Appleby

    there is loads of other training videos of him online!

    he is really got something work for him needs work on his defence like! but other than that he is a huge size for a super featherweight! he dreams of success and wakes up at 5 to go running evrey morning then to training! but he is quite cocky and really belives in himself which may be his eventual downfall

    I can't believe Kameda was actually posted seriously.
