    Who intrigues you?

    Who may be a sleeper?

    For example Valero among the crop of MAB, PAC, Guzman and Marquez?

    How about Dawson among Tarver, Hopkins, Johsnon and Woods?

    Maybe Bute among Calzaghe, Kessler, Lacy and Mundine?

    Even Williams among Mayweather, Cotto and Mosley?

    Top prospects, contenders and titlist who have the talent and tools to spring many suprises en route to some real dominance.

    at the moment, probably jorge Linares, hes definitely got the tools, and katsidis, just to see how far he can go with THAT style! (fought on the same night as well!!)

    Jorge Linares around 126 and 130 can do real damage with some maturity and experience - he is already one of the best featherweights in the world

    Arthur Abraham isn't talked about much among the middleweights such as Taylor, Pavlik, Wright, and Miranda, but he's very good

    Yes, Linares is good.

    I see Paul Willaims giving every single top WW trouble.

    Linares.. 21, less than 30 fights that he fought the majority of exclusively in Japan and he completely DESTROYED Larios. That should be taken very, very seriously.

    this guy intruiges me because he could be a legen in the making. IM not saying hes going to be a legend and should deserve help from his name, but it will help him like it or not. He definitly has tools, but is still one dimensional and quite slow(gets hit quite a bit), and also has a tendency for what I call the power puncher syndrome(not busy enough, admires his own work, not worried about points etc..) but well see how well he matures.

    Jorge linares is a tough cookie with outstanding skills.

    Paul Williams is a genetic freak, and will give fits to best of them, but cotto will tatto him when they meet.

    dawson is the next big thing at lightheavyweight.(assuming his chin is more stable then his last two fights tell you.)

    bute maybe be one of the three super middle kings out there right now.
    Hes most likely going to beat berrio and become an undefeated champ like King Kessler and King Calzaghe. And with all the other guys coming up, miranda, oganov, pascal etc this is just another division thats exploding.

    Alex Arthur does not have the skill of a top class fighter. He is a very good fighter, but not a world class contender.

    Him and Katsides would be interesting, because Katisides skill wise is also lacking slightly.
