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.

j Chavez jr.......
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.

Whats funny? Hes a good fighter and is improving all the time, he is on the verge of world level now but Guzman doesn't want to fight him cause hes scared :lol:

Theres talk of him fighting Katsidis will you still laugh when he bangs Katsidis out cold?

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.

I'm gonna be very patriotic here and say Andy Lee, although it's very early days.

I think the Peterson brothers, Bute gonna tough at SMW, Dawson(mos def), I still think Andre Ward might have it, Linares, and Mijares.

Almost forgot about the flip flash Nonito Donaires and Ponce De Leon(as long as he remains focused and in shape).

Can't speak much about Valero and Calderone cuz I haven't seen them fight yet at all.

Great to see excellent young philipino and Mexican prospects that will probably be filling the shoes of Barrera, Pac, et al.

Linares looks dangerous and so young definately world class and world champion for a long time gets my pick, and katsidis lacks in skill but with iron will, heart,stamina and heavy hands he is a knightmare for anyone its gonna take only the top tier to stop him and that aint guaranteed,there my two

I couldn't agree more with you.

i dont think he can win against any of the 3. He will surely have problems when matched up with solid B fighters like soto even juarez
