    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1)
    Obviously Jr. is not ready for a Top-10 or even a Top 20 Fighter. But at least a "middle of the pack" fighter. Would love to see him fight Ishe Smith.

    David Lemieux (21-0 20KOs) Canada
    They (ESB posters) have been hyping the hell out of this kid. So lets see how good he is. Here is a nice test...Peter Manfredo. If he's really that good. Manfredo would be a good test.

    Saul Alvarez (31-0-1) Mexico
    I have seen him several times and he is a very talented kid. But he's 31 fights in...time to step-it-up. There is a Hot young prospect from Miami named Antwone Smith (17-1-1)...This would be a great fight!!!

    This content is protected
    Guillermo Rigondeaux (5-0) Cuba
    This case with Guillermo is quite simple. Although technically a "prospect"...he is a seasoned pro. AND HE IS READY!!! Bring on Celestino Caballero.

    Omar Henry (8-0 7KO's)
    Omar is ready...name any fighter at the "bottom-Half" of the top-20 at 154lbs...Henry is more than Ready

    I dont put too much pressure on Chavez JR technically his father did the same thing fought 35 to 40 guys maybe even worse caliber than his son. Plus its JR not SR he is not his father never will be. Remember how many taxi drivers did sR fight before Haugan I mean his comp at this point was just as bad.

    Wilder had a very short amateur career and simply doesn't have the experience that most top prospects have. I think his management team have handled him well thus far. Despite the lack of depth in the heavyweight division I don't believe he's ready yet to start taking on the top contenders. He needs to take his time and learn his trade.

    Since you two are usually to busy blowing Pacquiao dick to know anything else about boxing here we go. Going into the Beijing Games Deontay Wilder had something like 21 amateur fights. So he is currently in on the job training.

    Solis. I don't think he'll be motivated to be in decent shape unless he's fighting someone he's worried about.

    40 bums and has even been suspended by NSAC for failing a drug test. Nothing says you are ready to step up more than that.

    Wilder is crazy raw. No way he needs to be in with top comp.

    Matt Korobov. He was an excellent amateur and he's clearly leagues above the guys he's currently fighting. He can't possibly be learning anything by destroying these guys while meeting no resistance.

    Rigondeaux may only have had a few fights but I'd put him in with a genuine contender sooner rather than later. He's arguably the greatest amateur ever and time isn't on his side if he wants to make a real impact in the paid ranks.
