    After watching all 3 in action I have to say Brad Solomon is the most skilled, Shawn Porter is the most tenacious and Mike Jones is the most physical imposing. They're all pretty big boys for welterweights thought.

    Probably Jones, dude has a ferocious head body **** attack and i feel sorry for Kell Brook if he decides to take that WBO title eliminator. Haven't seen any of Solomon though, so IDK. Got any good footage MichiganBrorrior?

    If these three would fight each other, I'd pick Jones to come out on top. I agree Soloman might just be the most skilled out of the trio, but I think Jones aggressive style will eventualy break down Soloman causing him to make too many mistakes.

    I do expact these prospects to all have good careers if they maintain their level of focus and desire.

    Good hand speed, stays calm in the ring, something about him that screams "it" to me right now.

    Shawn Porter ain't **** and those other guys are OLD.

    20 y/o Jermell Charlo is somebody worth watching....not that ****.

    LOL at his chunky little kelly pavlookalike opponent.

    You're right though, he does have good speed and I like his stance stays off center as it should, some solid body work as well. Could set up and pick his shots off more, and he did a shitty job when that guy was against the ropes, attacked him with all the intensity of a sparring session with a grandma and just let him get away that first time. He also did a mediocre job of picking apart that dude's guard, he was weak up the middle and could have exploited it easily with some properly placed uppercuts, although I did see him bang a couple of straights/jabs to the body. We'll see. Wasn't overly impressed with his skillset though.

    + Dude is younger than the other's which ultimately means more room to improve.

    Yeah he definitely is a work admirer, which is a bad trait in any boxer.
