Apart from those already on the world stage there is -

Lenny zappa is going to do well
Mark de Mori is a good HW prospect
Willie Kickett should be good (despite the hiccup)
Asam Forsythe if he fights at Cruiser

there are other like Junior Talipeau who could be good.

Besides the one's Topp mentioned, there are 2 or 3 more.

Paul Fleming signed with top Rank and has a good amateur background.

Kerry Foley has party's interested from goldenboy and top rank and will be fighting in the US.

There are some good fighters coming thru that just haven't been tested to make that comment

There are a few over here in Perth,

Micheal Hatwell 4-0 Hasnt fought in almost a year?
Johhny Krishna 4-0 Really good skills
Robbie Bryant 7-0-1 Good fighter needs to saty active. Will be good to see him against LePorto this week.
Andrew Green 2-0 Decent prospect
Eric DeMori 3-0 Good Power
All undeafeted and only time will tell how far they can go. Hatwell IMO has a good chance of going places if he actually fights. Not sure why he hasn't fought lately but he is still young and has plenty of time i suppose.

Young P4P1 ( Mark Maskiell) is a decent prospect if he actually gets his arse in the Gym :lol: :lol:

There all good fighters just need a few more fights to really see where there at.
Eric DeMori called out Allan Green after his last fight so hopefully that will eventuate.

Good list, Ben K. I'd also add Andrew Green (2-0-0) to that list, although he's another who needs to stay active. He's a 6'1 light heavyweight with great power and handspeed. In his amateur career he regularly fought adults when only 15 years old due to lack of competition at his age.

i saw him fight at blacktown he was the main event
he is a good fighter with good skills he is at cruiserweight but seems slow
he used the mayweather/holyfield style defence had all array of punches but favoured right which is understandable
wouldnt use the word great but still up there with best in oz from any division
quite a big guy in stature

Adam Forsyth looks to have the goods but has gone of the radar of late???

He needs to fight at Cruiser though, although looks like he'll need to fight a few local based heavys on the way to get fights. Whats happened to him?

foresyth definately not heavyweight maybe after a few years when he fills out,should fight at cruser and go the david haye route,constantly sparring heavies so he doesn't get shocked by the power difference.I've sparred domenic vea and I assure you he is a contender,and very strong for his division,skilled movement and combinations. I think one to watch!
