Best prospects in each division

SMW- Andre Ward
LMW- James Kirkland

 

Super Feather-Yuri Gamboa
LW-Anthony Peterson
JWW-Victor Ortiz
Welter-Mike Jones
LMW-James Kirkland
Middle-Danny Jacobs
SMW-Andre Dirrell
LHW-Tavoris Cloud

 

SFW - gamboa
LW - ortiz

 

He's really not very good, sadly. Low workrate, poor stamina, was lucky to come out with a win in his last fight.

 

HW - Povetkin (long-term I like Tor Hamer)
CW - Alexeev
LHW - Kuziemsky
SMW - Dirrell
MW - Jacobs or Golovkin (though I also like Fernando Guererro a lot)
JMW - Matirosyan or Angulo
WW - Not much to see here
JWW - Ortiz
LW - Peterson
SFW - Gamboa
FW - Mikey Garcia
BW - Abner Mares

Below that, can't say too well just cause prospects at the lowest weight classes don't make it on TV much. 140, 154 and 160 have loads of talent coming up though.

 

HW- Who's Tor Hammer?
WW- How about Kell Brook from my side of the pond?

Abner Mares
Victor Ortiz

 

Tor Hamer was the US national golden gloves champ this year. Just turned pro. Didn't bother trying out for the Olympics. Great movement for a big man, good power, good technical foundation. He has a lot of the things I like to see in a young fighter, and he moves as well as, if not better than, any heavyweight around today. Of course he's still fighting four rounders at this point, so stamina and chin are major question marks, but assuming he's sufficient in those regards, I like what I see. He's on the small side, but better fighters should be able to use that to their advantage.

Haven't seen much of Kell Brook, so I can't say. Problem with prospects is that they almost never fight outside their home country, so you usually won't see their fights unless you actively seek them out. Kell Brook might be fantastic, but I can't say I've seen him. I need to check out him and Appleby at some point.

 

good list, id put in kell brook in for WW and shenmue(sp) for LHW

 

154- Alfredo Angulo

160- Gennady Golovkin, Matvey Korobov

168 - Andre Dirrell, Danny Jacobs

175 - Tavoris Cloud, Beibut Shumenov

Cruiser - Alexeev

Heavyweight - Povetkin, Solis

The only cutoff I had was that the fighter have fewer than 20 fights.

 

Who's Keith Spencer(HW)? I brought Boxing Monthly today and they had a little snippet about him.
