    I remember mid 2009 when there was a lot of hype surrounding prospects such as Daniel Jacobs, Joe Greene, Miguel Angel Garcia, and Fernando Guerrero among others, especially the Cuban wave including Erislandy Lara and Guillermo Rigondeaux.
    Many of those prospects are still simply prospects, others have either become contenders or faded away.

    I know it's a few weeks early, but who are today's top prosects as we head into the new year? I know some of the names above are still considered prospects but who haven't we heard of?

    Name the best kept secrets, in your opinion.
    Who should we watch for?

    There are none. Promoters stop developing them. GBP will just steal them away.

    Yeah they're all looking good, and Acosta(or Collado or whatever the **** he calls himself now) has a great win over Faccio. I only put down Garcia because he's looking the best of them to me. Perez should really get in with somebody who will test him.

    Excellent hand speed on this kid and good power. Kind of like a mini Berto.

    Yep, they all have flaws but Garcia is the most rounded. Acosta semi-slaps with his punches and Perez is a couple lb more than he should be, among other small things.

    You've probably heard of Frankie Gavin, looks like he'll be an excellent fighter.

    I think I heard somewhere that Acosta has problems with his hands, though I'm not 100% on that.
