    For the past year I have been following this guy and though he has had some bumps in the road in and out the ring he still is a very talented fighter, right now he is recovering from stab wounds he received earlier in the year but recently I sent an email to legendary ESB poster brooklyn1550 and he said Paris will fight again towards the end of the year and will step up his comp and won't be fighting anymore journeymen here's a highlight of his career so far tell me what you guys think....

    Good prospect but not the best in the US. I gave that title to Victor Ortiz.

    Peterson brothers are very overrated. And the most hyped one I don't think is even the best of the 2. Lamont has gotten matched ALOT more harder the Anthony so even the promotors know who's the better of the 2.

    Oh and Ortiz KO 3 A. Peterson

    I totally disagree with that higlighted statement but it's not even fair for Anthony because he is not fighting at 140 like Ortiz is, but all in all the 140 weight division might be a hot division by next year with fighters like Paris,Ortiz, Lamont Peterson and maybe by that time Anthony Peterson fighting at 140.

    Paris is garbage ... so are the Peterson brothers ... not entertaining at all ...

    the best US prospect is not a pro yet ...

    victor ortiz is the one to look out for. the kid can crack! but paris looks pretty good. nice speed and reflexes.
