    Yep, you could see all Ronald had was the name and physical advantages over his opponents, at least it took Leonard, Hagler, Barkley to trouble Tommys chin, that opponent was a B grade fighter at the very, very most. Tommy was a class act afterwards though, having a few words of encouragement for the guy who'd just sparked his son.

    Ruslan Provodnikov. Only seen him fight once on FNF recently but he throws wicked body shots. Is definitely one to watch.

    I was keeping an eye on him a while back but he fell off my radar,
    thanks for joggin my memory, he is a very good mover for a heavyweight,
    obviously he is a blown up cruiserweight, but he has good power and some good skills, he hasnt got a great chin though.

    Im looking out for at the minute are Beibut Shumanov who fights at Light Heavyweight, and the cubans impress me at the minute, I use to be a fan
    of Andre Ward aswell, but havent seen any of his recent fights.

    I saw him too, looks half decent. Wish he had a little more pop, but he has potential.

    a 20 yo guy called 'archie marquez' he's 4-0, signed to goldenboy, super feather, he beat a guy called morales (who was 3-0 before that fight) who was taller than him, seemed to be impressive for a newcomer

    Alfredo Angulo - mexican, light-midldle 15-0 (12). Due to fight Kermit Cintron in May - which will be a good indicator of just how good he is.

    My top ones at the moment who have all been mentioned are Erislandy Lara, Urbano Antillon and Gennady Golovkin. Oh and Pirog.

    I would say Alfredo Angulo but I don't know if he is still classed as a prospect.

    Alfredo Angulo, James Kirkland and Victor Ortiz, Quite far along in their careers so i don't know if they could still be called prospects.
