Basically your listing prospects. I understand why, but i've seen enough divisions with "potential" to know that it very rarely works out. A lot of these guys are going to make their bones at 168. And 24 months is a hell of a short period of time to go from zero to #1 hero.
He's A-. He's world class/verging on fringe elite in his respective division, you can't hide from the fact his resumé on paper recently is very good. Andrade is probably an example of a B level fighter in the 168lb division. Froch is better than him.
This is essentially true. There's not thought gone into it bar listing your 5 best prospects and expecting them to make it to the top in just 24 months. I doubt the likes of Lemieux and Korobov will be top at that level by then, or Guerrero. And there's no guarentee the likes of Martinez, Williams and Sturm will have dropped off or retired by then.
Some of these guys will be hitting their peak in 2 years' time: Golovkin, Pirog, Korobov... these guys won't be at their best at SMW either... N'Dam and Lemieux, maybe... but for the rest - I disagree... ...and the dinosaurs of the division will be out of the Top 5 by then too, most likely... so I HAVE to rate prospects...
