    Out of those I'd go with Lopez.

    Abraham is a world champion so hardly a prospect

    Abraham isn't a prospect.

    Nor is Valero, really. He's a rising star... but not a prospect! He's a 2-weight world champion for Pete's sake!


    Out of those, though... it's both Khan & JuanMa.

    Khan is a huge lightweight (and a pretty decent-sized light-welterweight) while JuanMa is huge @ 122 & is 5'7 or 5'8 (126, 130 are certainly future stops for him!... and 135 & 140 if he carries his power & physical attributes.. + continues to develop as he has thus far).

    If Khan didn't have such a suspect-chin, he'd be undisputed Numero Uno out of the prospects...!

    Lopez isn't really a prospect anymore either, but get him in the right fights right now, and he skyrockets up the P4P lists. He could clean out 122 - 130. Biggest problem for him would probably be Caballero, just due to the awkward style. If Rafael Marquez is still as good as he was a few years ago, then he gives Lopez massive problems, but I think Lopez eventually knocks him out. Robert Guerrero in peak shape could cause him problems, but I'm not sure he has the heart to bang with someone like Lopez for 12 solid rounds. Vasquez is tailor made for Lopez stylistically, since his stamina is just as good but he's bigger and stronger than Vasquez and comes from more angles. He probably overwhelms Chris John. He outskills Humberto Soto. I'd also favor him over Juan Diaz. But until he actually fights some of these people, I can't put him on my P4P list quite yet.

    Probably Victor Ortiz and Juan Manuel Lopez. Both guys still have things to learn, but they have decent fundamentals, a hard punch, and plenty of overall talent. Although I don't think you can call those guys prospects anymore, those fighters are certified contenders now. :bbb

    He's a contender already.
    People have a hard time differenting prospects from champs and contenders.

    Of fighters who have yet to fight for a title (interim or otherwise), I like Danny Jacobs better than anyone. Erislandy Lara, Demetrius Andrade, Victor Ortiz, Gennady Golovkin and Bastie Samir are up there as well. Just load and loads of up and coming talent in that 154 - 168 range.
