    He's like Berto, but with slower handspeed and less power. Daniel Jacobs is a much, much better MW prospect and he's from NY too.

    I've never seen Jacobs fight, but having seen Greene fight on three separate occassions, I'm thoroughly impressed. He is, after all, only 22 years old!

    And I like his potential more than I like "Kid Chocolate's".

    :good

    I agree, I think outside of Lee and Jacobs Greene is more skilled than every other middleweight prospect. He has pretty good handspeed and good wear you down power. He kinda reminds me of Winky Wright with a bit more pop.

    He looked like a bad man in there, and hes built for power, broad shouldered and all that. a good prospect match would be him and kid chocolate.

    Kid Chocolate is nasty. He's a poor mans Tommy Hearns.

    Kid Chocolate is at super middle now, no?

    They've been a part of the same card all three times I've seen them.

    He's much more fluid than Winky, though, and he relies on much more than blocking defensively.

    His fluidity is an absolute marvel!

    He moves in and out of punching range as smoothly as anyone I've seen at his stage. Now, I'm by no means an expert at pegging prospects, but I've seen a decent number of live cards over the past few years, and Joe Greene is a standout.

    I think he would beat Duddy like a dog--right now, even!

    I really do. Duddy is a defensive misfit!

    He has good speed and power, but he seems to have less tools than Greene does.

    He may make some noise.

    It's interesting to note that Greene has more professional experience than Quillin despite "KC" being the older of the two.

    What I like about Greene is that I've seen him in there against two tough foes who weren't in their for just a payday.

    Edson Aguirre was dropped seven times in five rounds and this past weekend, Mora tasted canvas twice in the 2nd and twice more in the 4th.

    He's not a KO artist, but he has decent pop, and his elusiveness in the ring is noteworthy.

    Green is one of my favorite prospects. I like him better than Kid Chocolate as a prospect, but that's no knock on Pete.
