I just bumped into a pretty good (very brief) article on the Bleecher Report. Not a bad, short read for fans like me that can't keep up with every fighter alive. (how some of you do it is beyond my understanding!) Anyway: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1305562-ranking-the-10-best-under-25-fighters-in-the-world Interesting that they list Thomas Dulorme, whom i've never even heard of before. He does look VERY good in that clip they show vs DeMarcus Corley. (though I never heard of Corley, either.) Dulorme looks lightning fast, with good balance & footwork, and he knows how to take advantage of his reach. --------- Strangley, this article includes Tyson Fury, which sort of calls into question the rest of what they have to say. But I guess he the best HW prospect under 25 y-o, FWIW. (not much.)
:scaredas: Mcloskey Mathysse Maidana Fedchenko Bailey (TWICE) Alexander Witter Cotto Mayweather Judah The dude has fought everyone! how have you not heard of him?
Because I have , whaddaya call it again? Oh yeah, a LIFE ! And yeah, that's a pretty damn impressive resume.
Im juggling Work, The Gym, University and a very active social life (Which does mostly include alcohol) yet i know who he is And damn right thats impressive, plus the fact he is the former WBO Light Welterweight champion (Beat Current IBF Welterweight champion Randal Bailey for the belt) and in my eyes beat Zab Judah whilst shutting up Paul Mcloskey over in Ireland in his last fight and managing to give Marcos Maidana a tough fight Much respect for Demarcus Corley

Ok, there is one omission i think the article should have squeezed in.... Since most of them are up there i believe because of the established record over prospective promise, that 10-0 japanese fighter can be canned for this guy's spot.... Jose Benavidez jr 16-0 (13ko's) This young man is a phenomenon! Obviously he's been denting up tomato cans, but he does have a greater record, and i believe more promise than the japanese fighter. Physically, he's a freak of nature for his weightclass too. I mean, dood got a waiver to turn pro at 17 by the boxing commission cuz he was smoking everyone's ass too much as a national champion! The only thing slightly questionable will be the strength of his chin as he goes to fight higher caliber fighters...
