    Lets see how right or wrong we are in 10 years. Please add more to the list of fighters I forgot or may not have thought of in the moment.

    My ratings:
    A+ Shakur Stevenson: Has the potential to be the future p4p #1 and best fighter of his era. Will win titles in 4 divisions minimum. His defense is the best of all of them.
    A+ Devin Haney: Similiar in talent to Shakur, less skill, but more dog in him, could be a future p4p #1 and multiweight champ. Exceptional jab.
    A+ Keyshawn Davis: Amateur fighter looking to win gold for the USA, looks like a Mayweather-lite. Could be a p4p great with multiple titles. Very good defence and jab.
    A+ Andy Cruz: Amateur fighter from Cuba, insanely fast and gifted, if he turns pro he will be one of the best Cuban professionals of all time. He moves and punches so effortlessly, otherworldly speed/reactions.

    A Gervonta Davis: P4p top 5 talent, will probably grab another strap in a higher division. Huge power with very good speed.
    A Teofimo Lopez: Has top 5 P4p talent, will probably be a champ in a few divisions. Good shoulder roll , speed and power.
    A Robeisy Ramirez: Antother top 5 p4p potential fighter, he beat Shakur in the amateurs and won 2 gold medals.

    B+ Ryan Garcia: Very fast with good power, he's too straight up in defense and his skill isn't as good as those above. Unless he improves a lot with team Canelo I can only see him scraping the bottom of top 10 P4p and maybe he will win a couple belts in a couple of divisions but I don't believe he will be 'the man' in any of them.


    BONUS:
    A+ Emiliano Vargas: Currently only 16 years old, is the son of Fernando Vargas, I predict 10 years from now (2030) he will be one of the top fighters in the world and in p4p contention. Very Similiar to Terence Crawford.

    @bluebird how come you mentioned some of the top Lightweight amateurs but didn't mention others like Dzmitry Asenau, Sofiane Oumiha, Hovhannes Bachkov
