When was the last time you were truely amazed by a prospect

Francisco Bojado... ever since then I'm much more cautious about throwing all my support behind one guy because if a prospect as talented and dynamic as Bojado can go down hill, then any young fighter can do the same.

 

floyd mayweather jr..

he amazed me when he fights at welterweight...

against juan manuel marquez

floyd jr is a prospect at welterweight

 

Good question.

The first prospect I was amazed by was a 19 year old Tyson. I was just a kid but that set the bar pretty high. Since then, the only prospects that blew me away very early in their careers were De La Hoya and Floyd. They could do it all as prospects.

Gamboa, Korobov, Lara, and Rigondeaux will all be champions. But the only prospect that really amazes me is still in the amature ranks-Vasyl Lomachenko. I get the same feeling watching him that I did with Oscar and Floyd. He's 21 and needs to turn pro now, he'll stagnate in the unpaid ranks b/c no one is on his level.

 

Last time Boytsov fought.

 

Chad Dawson when he beat Eric Harding. I was amazed by his hand speed, I was thinking this kid is going to be a world champion one day, and the next fight he dominated Tomasz Adamek.

Dawson has the skills and talent to one day be a great fighter, will he be a great fighter? That remains to be seen.
