    of the people on the list i'd say teofimo. he has proven me wrong in the past. every time i think he is going to lose he pulls off the win.

    Teo or Garcia

    Davis and Stevenson are too small, and Haney is too chinny and featherfisted.

    4 princelings more like it.

    Teofimo has the dimensions. Though Ryan looks more filled out than I expected.

    I give him a good chance against someone like Roiman Villa, Connor Benn, Danny Garcia, and maybe even Vergil Ortiz or Spence if he doesn't move up

    Garcia has the size & power, but doesn't have the best skills.

    Haney has the size, but doesn't have the power, skills or chin.

    Davis has the skills, but not the height.

    Lopez has a nice balance, but he is inconsistent.

    Stevenson mostly only fight smaller guys and he need to step up.

    you can call them the four kings when they've all actually fought each other.

    All of them were overhyped, just because they were from US. None of them are special

    Special fighters are consistent.

    4 kings are crazy, they're more like 4 knights, or 2 bishops and 2 knights or a rook a bishop and 2 knights..............seriously though, don't call them no damn 4 kings.

    Original question:
    Teo would. He has the frame, speed and power to go up at least 1 more weightclass
    Devin despite his size has already shown a power and durability outage at 135 and 140,
    Tank's frame won't be successful that high (140 is his ceiling)
    Ryan is too inconsistent, he's tall but that doesn't mean he's physically strong enough to be successful, he's frail IMO.

    Shakur could really still be at 130, 147 is out of the question IMO

    They're called 4 Kings just because they're American. All proven very little, a few of them have had gifts.

    - Teofimo lost to Martin and didn't get more than a draw vs. Ortiz plus he lost to Kambosis only beat Lomachenko because he waited til round 6 or 7 to start throwing punches.

    - Haney lost to Lomachenko, battered by Joe Laws in sparring, rocked by Linares and has now been fully exposed he'll lose to Sandor Martin next

    - Davis good but also manufactured, going down the Wilder route of easy fights, only fought 2 or 3 decent fighters and there's an asterisk over the Garcia win

    - Garcia has a lot to prove, let's see him vs Spence I like that fight for the history

    - Stevenson talented but there's a ceiling to how far up the weights his frame will allow him to go
