    Golovkin is something special. He'll be a p4p star in less than 2 years.

    Golovkin or N'Jikam overall

    Lemieux for the superstar potential/excitement factor, same for Korobov...

    Aren't Jacobs v. Pirog on the undercard of Marquez Diaz II? should be exciting:good

    jacoobs and lemeiux are the best prospects right now, both of them are not only skilled but have fan friendly styles.

    From what I have seen it is a close call between Korobov and Jacobs though I have to confess that I have not seen N'Dam N'Jikam, Pirog, or Guerrero in action.

    Jacobs is over rated on this site.

    Views on Lemieux have change dramatically since his demolition of Ayala too. I made a similar poll not long ago and Jacobs got the most votes but it wasn't a landslide like this.

    Yep the lemieux hype train is in top gear at the moment. Does the hype remind you of anyone?
    Fighting and scoring a ko on american tv does wonders for a boxers rep.

    Pirog is featherfisted despite his record and has a china chin. his reflexes are average and his movements are uncontrolled.
    i´d be surpised if the outcome of that fight was anything but kayo victory by Jacobs.

    N'Dam N'Jikam. Speed, precision punching, great shot selection, quick footwork, crunching left-hook, snappy jab, laser right-hand. What more can you want? The only problems I have with him are the way he rushes in and fails to finish guys he has hurt, and the way he lapses in concentration at times against poorer opposition and gets caught.

    That's a ridiculous comment. Jacobs could knock him out but your criticisms are so over the top it's unreal. If it goes the distance I think Pirog will snatch it. Jacobs is too easy to hit. He does have a good offence though.
