    Broner & Alvarez have the most potential because they have yet to reach a "Peak" Followed by Mares & Rios.

    Ward, Donaire, Gamboa & Guerrero are already pushing 30.
    (Some already 30, Which means they Prob already reach their potential)

    Nonito & Ward are already praised as Great champions.

    Agree with most of this. Gamboa is already over 30. Broner has the most potential.

    Ward and Donaire are both bad ass already.

    The Ghost is a dirty overrated fighter. But I do enjoy watching him.

    1. Adrien Broner: Given time he's going to be the #1 P4P.
    2. Brandon Rios: This about poentiol not about who's best right now. Rios is 26, and is going to soon be fighting in what is an almost always talen rich division 147.
    3. Nonito Donaire: If he wasn't already 30 he'd be on the top of this list. I belive Donaire is going to be the next P4P #1.
    4. Andre Ward: Curently Ward is my #3 P4P. Mayweather and Donaire are 1 & 2. Ranking Ward isn't a knock on him. Right now he's probbly the most complete boxer besides Mayweather. He's younger than Donaiire which likely means he has more left in his career. Here's the thing. Unless some talented boxers move up from 160. There is not a lot of chalanges for him at 168 or even 175 or 200.
    5. Abner Mares: If this was about Talent/Skills/Ability I'd probbly rank him last. However not being able to think of anything that stands out about him, he wins his fights. He's at the same weight as Donaire. (If TR and GBP could only get along). There are a lot of great fights that can be made from Bantamweight to super Featherweight.
    6. Saul Alvarez: His career is about to take a major hit. Assuming he's fighting Austin Trout in May. In spite of the loss. I think he has a very good upside.
    7. Robert Guerrero: Let's not kid ourselves, Guerrero is not going to beat Mayweather. He's a qulity boxer who's been brought along along smartly. Other than Mayweather, Marquez and Bradley. I think he can beat anyone at 147.
    8. Yuriorkis Gamboa: If this is about right now. Gamboa is no worse than #3. Gamboa 31 may be boxing's biggest what if had he been able to go pro after the 2004 Olympics. We might be talking about him as an all time great. He's going to have a great career, but it's not what it could have been.
