    I'm looking down the Middleweight division and I don't see many up and comers who could go on to challenge the current trifecta of Canelo / GGG / Jacobs any time soon

    Charlo and Andrade are not really prospects, and neither look very impressive to me

    Hurd and Mungia will move up but their current fighting styles rely on being the bigger man which will quickly dissapear at 160

    Aware me on other guys at 160 that are making waves. looking like serious contenders? I cant see many

    Not a prospect but Sergiy Derevyanchenko is still a top contender. But you are right at the moment I don't see a big prospect.
    Some time ago I thought Murata might be the guy but he even struggels vs Brandt

    Around 2 years ago I also thought Jason Quigley might make some noise but he is still a only a prospect

    very good list. alimkhanuly and chebotarev have the look of threatening once they step up. mbilli too. ievgen khytrov could still turn his Career around…..he only Needs a Management to get him active. then there is rob brand who is talented, as is murata. deryvanchenko can compete with the best.
    then there is Chris pearson who just looked really good against falcao. and of Course, the falcao Brothers.

    all in all, there are alot of fighters that would give the top guys really close fights. and to me, charlo is very serious threat to anyone.

    Artem Chebatorev 6-0 (4) is an elite talent on the fast track- he's already ranked 22nd on boxrec, shame he doesn't have a top promoter yet though.

    Christian M'billi 14-0 (13) is very good.

    Plus there's Felix Cash, Meirum Nursultanov, Nikita Ababiy, Petr Khamukov
