    There is one fight on youtube but thats not him trying too hard. Johnny Lewis says he's the best Aboriginal boxer since Lionel Rose who is one of our greatest ever.

    He looks like a mini Mundine, fights like him but has more natural ability imo. 19 years of age aswell.

    There are better choices on the poll but this kid is special.

    Gamboa is 26 isnt he.

    I suppose his impact will be quick and hard. Looks the goods though :deal

    Yeah, as Teke said Cooool Willie Kickett is someone with watching.
    Just so slick & fluid, has many great years ahead of him.

    Just had a little look at that clip, some nice movement and obviously an impressive KD. Difficult to tell that early in a fighters career I think how good they are gonna be, but yeah I suppose he looks accurate, quick and strong.

    I like how fluid he is with his movement and how he puts his combos together. Next 18mths or so I predict he will clean out his Aussie competition and then slowly move on from there.

    Kameda isn't a prospect. He already held a title and moved up. Anyway, he's not all that great. He has a personality that Japanese people love to hate, so he gets a lot of attention there, but I don't think he has the physical tools to be a P4P level fighter, and he'd still get killed by the top guys at 115.

    I like Ortiz, but his chin is too shaky to be an A-level prospect. He's already been down twice, and not necessarily against huge punchers.

    In terms of physical gifts, Khan and Gamboa are clearly head and shoulders above the rest, and there's nothing in their makeup that indicates they won't be able to reach their potential. Khan needs to overcome his chin (which I suspect will get better once he moves up to 140 or 147 where he belongs), and Gamboa needs to work on some technical issues, but it's not even really a contest after those two.

    I said earlier... I only put Bellew on because he's a local fighter.

    It was also to put into context how I rate Solis

    Oh, and I'd put guys like Povetkin, Greene, Golovkin, etc. ahead of guys like Mares, Boystov, Bellew, Solis, etc. anyway....

    I left Povetkin off this list for reasons already mentioned, but I'm not sure he hits hard enough to make the biggest impression at HW.
