    Neither do I, Mexicans have too much machismo and like to get in there and bang. Fernando Montiel is a great example of a very athletic Mexican who can be slick at times, his idol was Suger Ray Leonard.

    But back to the topic at hand, Andre Ward looks to fit the bill as well as Andre Dirrell. Bradley is not someone I'll dismiss. Gary Russell Jr. definetly has potential.

    Whatabout Kirkland, he's not slick, but he is Afican American and can BANG!

    Raw Talent wise... Direll

    Could be a main streem success.. If matched right.. He obviously have some heart questions

    And he needs some bicycle polishing.. He really does look like hes running..Hes not even gracefull about the ****.. he tags you with his lighting fast combinations and then hes off skipping around the ring

    It doesnt come off very menancing.


    Wards got the techniques but im not completely sold on him altogether.
    And uh Kirklands back.. That may pan out well

    I'm liking Demitrius Andre, Russel Jr., Warren, possibly Deontay Wilder. Can they be like Mayweather and other past greats? Doubtful. The best of the best seems to be Ward right now. Warren could be very special in the pros, but of course at his weight, he will never be a gigantic star.

    I hope Kirkland gets back to where he left off. He is very exciting.

    Your statement about Warren and his weight class is interesting. I know it seems the smaller weight classes don't seem to produce the big stars but I am a big believer in the Tiger Woods theory or you could even call it the Michael Phelps theory and what that theory is is that it only takes one superstar to take a sport to the next level and it would work the same way in a smaller weight class if you could get just one superstar say Warren on that flyweight to jr. batemweight pro level to take those divisons to the next level. Also with Warren can his frame have a Pacman like rise as Pacman went from 108 to at least 150 now. Moving up in weight could be important for a guy like Warren becoming a superstar.

    Why would he have to move to 154 and 160 to be great?
