Re: Top 10 Best Prospects in the World currently
Benavidez KO'ed Felipe Romero in 1 round, while Usyk needed 5 rounds to stop him (although it looked like Usyk carried him for quite some time for purpose) and Bivol needed 8 rounds to stop Romero. Now, I'm not saying he is better than Usyk or Bivol, but he is definitely very talented prospect with a very good power.Killer Kovalev wrote:Bivol looks very good not seen benividezFreedom2013 wrote:Two very impressive light heavyweights:

Spence and Joshua would top the list for me.
Re: Top 10 Best Prospects in the World currently
I'll throw Jack Catterall in the mix. Great little southpaw prospect!

Hoping to see more of Sadam Ali in 2016. Very memorable fight against Abregu, been trying to keep an eye for this kid to see if he can break into the WW scene at world title level.

In fairness the guy just beat the guy who flattened Drian Francisco in a round...and that was Maruta's debut!

TAKUMA INOUE
5-0, 1 KO
Younger brother of WBO junior bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue also campaigns at 115 pounds. Last time out, the Japanese star scored an impressive 12-round decision over Mark Anthony Geraldo.

Seasons Greetings all,
Good list. Doug came up with the RING prospects list, all have potential to go a long way.
I'd like to throw a few guys out there, this may give more background to already named guys plus a few new one's http://ringtv.craveonline.com/tag/new-faces
As well as Takuma Inoue and Hinata in Japan, Daigo Higa, Ken Shiro and Ritu Kano are worth keeping an eye on.
