Who is the best middleweight prospect?

You have got remember that it took jacobs two rounds to ko juan astroga ,when it took john duddy just 1 round.
Jacobs does not have one punch power and he is very easy hit. I remember ishe smith staggered him only two fights ago.
Im picking pirog to ko jacobs after watching loads of footage on both.

 

How do you guys rate Craig McEwan in all of this? Only 18 fights and already owns a UD over Vera.

 

Who????

 

:good


My guess is anybody who didn't pick HNN did so only because they simply haven't been exposed to him...barring those who have provided compelling arguments, like the Golovkin crowd.

 

I like him but I don't really rate him to be honest. I think he will lose when he steps up on the world stage. He has an awkward style but there is nothing that stands out about him, no power, not particularly fast, gets hit a lot.

I wish him all the best though, he seems like a good guy. I'll cheer him on.

 

I've never seen N'Dam so I just youtubed it and all I can say is I hope he fights better than he dances.

Korobov looked spectacular early on but I've heard he's fallen off big time lately.

Lemieux's awesome but I think his small size is going to be a problem for him later on.

I'll go with Golovkin.

 

Golovkin and Lemieux look superb. Lee is ****.

 

Lee is far from ****. He'll get himself a world title. Golovkin would be too much for him though.

 

"Prospect", goofball

David Lemieux has the highest votes, about 34%

This dood is plain spectacular to watch. He's not the fastest person on the block, but boy, does he have great punching technique, power, and timing! We're talking about a young boy with a big pedigree who's already got a 23Win, 22KO, 0loss record! Ok, many of those fighter had losing records, but this boy is knocking them out in the 1st and 2nd round mostly! WTF! This is Mike Tyson-esque stats! Twenty STRAIGHT KO's! In his 21st fight his legendary trainer, Russ Anber, specifically had him go 10rounds to invalidate him being just a frontrunner fighter.

ANY time a fighter gets hit flush by either his super slick left hook or his bomb straight right, he's hitting the canvas or having to take a knee. Forget trying to survive and clinch, the blow is so severe that you have to take a knee. Ive never seen so many fighters take a knee from a single blow since.... Mike Tyson. You can catch a good few of his fights on Youtube.

Lately, he demolished Elvin Ayala (who went 12rounds w/ AA when he was a Middleweight) in the 1st round, forcibly knocking him down 3 times lol! If you want to view this fight, i just might be able to point you in the right direction - PM me for email.

 

Check this thread for a bunch of HNN video.

You need to watch more than one, preferably a few to get a feel for him. He does run hot and cold, so depending on what random fight you get on a Youtube search he might not make the best first impression. Like TommyV said, he does tend to get bored and absent-minded when he's in a mismatch.

 

Like i mentioned before that guy seems massively well schooled. Also hes only 21 and already fights with such patience and poise. We will have to see whether he can keep that ko power against elite competition. I think his size might limit his ability to move up in weight but the guy seems built large in the torso.

If im correct that is a young david in there. Like i said well schooled.

 

I like Fernando Guerrero.

He's an exciting fighter that hits pretty hard,i think Gerrero can become a force in the MW div.

All 14 KO's he has have been inside of 4 rounds.

The middleweight div is looking up.:bbb
