Top picks would be Gamboa, Linares, JuanMa (if Linares stayed at 126 that could have been a 3 way rivalry to rival MAB-Pac-Morales)

Then theres Maidana, the numbers hes done on many are very impressive but he does look a bit raw from what I've seen, Kotelnik will be the acid test in Feb - http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hu ... &cat=boxer

Funeca and Prescott at 135 look BRUTAL and Victor Ortiz looks like being a young beast at 140 (incidently Khan beat him in the amateurs)

I thought Boystov looked like the next Tyson, but now the opposition is in the top100 the stoppages have all dried up

Looking at the ratings in different countries, and Colombia seem to produce loads of punchers, is it the style of boxing there? or is it genetics

Guerrero looks impressive.

James Kirkland is a pure puncher, but makes Jeff Lacy seem like Floyd Mayweather.

Daniel Jacobs looks a puncher but does seem a little one-dimensional.

I don't think Kirkland's power is that impressive either TBH

I watched him against Vera, who had no defence and Kirkland hit him with the kitchen sink. He happily ate the shots all night untill the ref stopped it for being too one sided

Matt Korobov, a super middle from Russia, former 2 time world champ. lost in '08 Olympics to '04 gold medal winner from Kazakistan. Now boxing pro out of Florida.

He can bang and IMO will be a world champ.

Brooklyn middle Peter Quillin looks like he might be the real McCoy.

Gennady Golovkin seems to be decent and flying under many radars.

Not sure at the minute though

I think quite a few people are aware of him, but his apparent disinterest during fights has got me disinterested.
