    Is it an impressive and marketable group to the public? Chris Arreola, Paul Williams, Andre Ward, Eddie Chambers, Shawn Estrada, John Molina.

    Paul Williams has the potential to be a superstar because he has the potential to beat the best fighters from 147-160. He's also a pretty decent guy. I think he's marketable.

    Chris Arreola is aswell because he's unbeaten, big-punching and a US heavyweight prospect. Same with Chambers to an extent, but his lack of punching power and the fact he lost his '0' probably makes him less marketable.

    Shawn Estrada I haven't seen since he turned pro but I liked him as an amateur. It takes something to beat Danny Jacobs, but I don't know how far he'll go. Still, while he's unbeaten, and a US Olympian, he'll be marketable.

    John Molina I don't know enough about, is this the unbeaten lightweight? I've never seen him fight anyway, but again the longer he keeps his '0' the more his stock rises.

    Andre Ward is a bit like Estrada in terms of marketability and how I expect Estrada to progess, just a pretty long way ahead at the moment. Similar because he's young, former Olympian and still unbeaten.

    Overall I think the group is more marketable than it is talented, I see talent in Williams definately and he's already up their with the best fighters around, Ward is undoubtedly talented aswell and could go pretty far.

    But the rest I'm not sure about. Haven't seen Molina or Estrada so I couldn't possibly comment on their talents in the pro game, but Chambers althought talented lacks certain intangibles that mean he'll probably struggle, i.e he's a bit small for a heavy, lacks power etc.

    And Arreola has major flaws but his punching power and aggression has seen him through thus far. But I don't expect him to be competitive against the top guys like Haye or the Klitschko's or Chagaev, Povetkin etc.
