    I'll go with Gamboa....I like Berto as well but Gamboa seem really natural with his movements and skills....he's very fluid and makes it look easy...of course he hasn't beaten anyone of note but he's still a prospect.

    at this point in their respective careers, I wouldnt consider Haye, Williams or Bute to be prospects. maybe Bute. But I guess it all depends on your definition of what a prospect is. Lee and Povetkin are both excellent choices.

    Out of the names on the poll, I went with Gamboa.

    I'd say Gamboa on this poll. Fluid, fast, with power, good footwork and defense. He should go far.

    Ive just been insanely impressed with him so far. Also, i have tons of faith in Emanual Steward. I dont think he would work so hard with a guy that probably cant pay him much if he didnt think there are going to be big pay days in the future.

    I like Andy Lee as the best prospect right now. I also like Gamboa as the second best prospect. I'll give you a guy people been sleeping on but this guy is gonna be good. Yan Barthelemy. I think he has all the skills to become a really good world champion. He a little bit under the rader with guys like Gamboa and Solis are younger than him but I wouldn't be shocked if he was the first 1 out of the three to win a world title. I think they should move Andy Lee and the Cuban fighters a little faster than the other top prospect right now.

    IMO the Cubans are moved well so far - it's Lee who's lacking good competition...

    Exactly. Andre Ward is a good fighter IMO, and deserves a spot on the poll at least. Guzman as a "prospect". Thats absurd, he is a multiple weight division world champion. I need to see some of Andy Lee's fights, I have heard good things.

    Lee needs a promoter badly. He'll have problems finding good fights without one after the Daniels fight.

    I'm a little surprised nobody's mentioned Juan Manuel Lopez....
