    Two questions:

    1 - Who are some of the young guns coming through that I should keep an eye on?


    2 - Do any of these "hot prospects" have any realistic possibility of toppling the current title holder in their weight category, based on potential and the whole "styles make fights" argument?

    I love watching Georgie fight, but does he have that many years left in the game? He's 32 already.

    A young 32?

    Does anyone think Amir Sadollah is a good prospect? Seems to have a good stand-up game and is excellent off his back.:think

    What about JDS? Is he outside the prospect bracket or does he need one or two more big wins?

    Id say hes a legitmate contender at this point with dominant wins over Werdum and Cro Cop along with quick KOs over Struve and Yvel. From the others listed id say Jones and Amir are still prospects. George is probablly right in the middle since the win over Joe Daddy was dominant but hes more high level gatekeeper but only loses to the toughest guys.

    Nah, he'll still be a top 6 or 7 WW, who got whipped by one of the P4P best fighters in the world.
