    Who are your favorite prospects to watch in the sport regardless of their weight.


    1. "Mean" Joe Greene - Middleweight
    2. Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillen- Middle/Super Middle weight
    3.Andre Berto- welterweight (Although he is World Ranked, still a prospect to me)
    4.James "Mandingo" Kirkland- Light Middleweight
    5.Chris Arreola- Heavyweight

    I can go on all day, but listed these 5 because I think they will have a breakout year.

    Should Gamboa be considered a prospect still? If so, he's definately #1 to look out for.

    I will add some German based prospects:

    Vitali Tajbert (super featherweight)
    Gennady Golovkin (middleweight)
    Yoan Pablo Hernandez (cruiserweight)
    Alexander Frenkel (cruiserweight)
    Karo Murat (super middleweight)
    Odlanier Solis (heavyweight)
    Selcuk Aydin (<- welterweight, he could already beat the regular WBA champ, IMO)

    Kirkland and Green are two of my favorite prospects. Also hoping for big things from Vernon "Iceman" Paris this year.

    I like Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillen, he should make some noise within a year.

    Grzegorz Proksa

    Still undefeated Polish prospect. May hit the middleweight division hard in a couple of years.

    I forgot about kid chocolate the dude definitely has skills. The first time I saw him he ktfo out of some journeyman with one of the quickest punches and then proceeded to take chocolates out of a bag and threw them into the crowd. I laughed my ass off and thought "this guy is awesome." I hear the entrance for his next fight he is gonna come out to that "chocolate rain" song
