    James Degale is a special talent (although I despise him!)

    Would also like to see more of Jose Benividez Jr and Frankie Gomez.

    Solomon is one I really like the look of, Benavidez will be a star and Kayode will always entertain.

    There are three guys I think could be special, ATG type of fighters:

    1) Frankie Gavin (8-0)
    2) Vasyl Lomachenko (still amateur)
    3) Jose Benavidez Jr. (9-0)

    In terms of star potential though, I still think Saul Alvarez and David Lemieux are going to be tops. I just don't think they will be quite as good as the guys I listed above.

    In terms of the next tier, I'd include guys like James DeGale, Gary Russell Jr., Wale Omotoso, Teerachai Kratingdaenggym (who I'm going out on a limb on, but from what little I've seen, if he can get good trainers, I think he's special in terms of physical talent), Erislandy Lara and Luis Garcia. If he can ever get his head on straight (which I doubt at this point), Vernon Paris has just as much talent as anyone I've listed. While he's not a prospect anymore, I feel the same way about Marvin Sonsona - he gets his head on straight, he can be great. I'm sure there are a few others I really like I'm forgetting as well.

    Vernon Paris is scheduled to fight Tim Coleman next, on the Alexander-Bradley undercard, a fight in which I expect him to lose. Coleman IMO is the better fighter.
