    Some brilliant guys there, that Williams looks sensational, can't wait to see more of him.

    I've only seen one of Williams' professional bouts but that guy is something special. Do not be shocked if he turns out to be the best of the bunch.

    Great article. Thank you for sharing it. Russell Jr. is a great prospect, I also like Roman and the younger Maggdeleno a lot.

    Roman just looks a lot of fun to watch.

    I saw Roman on the Donaire undercard at the weekend, what a freaking wrecking ball this kid could turn out to be. He just oozes excitement.

    Absolutely shocked no one else wants to talk about this, heh.

    Yeah Diaz v Robb was a barnstormer.

    Russell Jr, Diaz and Williams have the goods.

    The future looks bright apart from the HW division.

    That website only looks at guys who are 25 or under, as far as Heavyweights the US has Mitchell, Hanks, Wilder, Scott, Jennings, Hamer, Tupou, Alexander Flores (21 year old, lots of promise), Dawejko and will likely claim Andy Ruiz if he lives up to his potential...

    Alexander Flores is quite interesting and a very young heavyweight.

    Yeah 6'4" seems to stay in shape, young beat an unbeaten guy last time out, seems like one to keep an eye on.

    I want to see more of Tony Harrison. I've seen the Hearns analogy numerous times on press releases when announcing an upcoming fight, trouble is, fight night arrives and he disappears from the card. This has happened twice when he was 4-0, 4ko but I don't know if this was from opposition cancellation, or his own things going on outside the ring. Good to see he's now up to 8-0, 8ko.

    He's being kept pretty active thanks to appearing on Klitschko undercards. Not many top prospects can claim to have fought in 3 countries (Germany, USA and Switzerland) in their first 8 bouts. Hopefully he does step up slightly because he's blowing guys out of the water without breaking sweat so far. Hearns was 14-0 (14) when he stepped up to face multi-time title challenger Clyde Gray. With in a year of beating Gray Hearns tore through Harold Weston, Bruce Curry and Saensak Muangsurin (and others).

    If Harrison gets close to that in his first 25 fights I'd be bloody amazed.
