I like Berto and Guzman to carry on winning for a while, some of the others have yet to truly fight a world class opponent.

Dunno about Berto, the Collazo fight could have gone either way and welterweight is still fairly loaded. Though not as much as about a year ago.

Tavoris Cloud looks a bit special to me, think he could beat anyone he connects with.

andre dirrell is the best prospect.

Abraham has a decent chance of beating Pavlik if them two finally get it on. Don't see anyone beating Dawson for a while unless Calzaghe decides to unretire and take the challenge.

Dirrell is a great prospect, but he seems a bit scatty, like he could throw away a victory. I think on his day he's one of the best super middleweights out there.

Arthur Abraham should keep his for quite a while longer, provided he sticks to middleweight / super middleweight. John Duddy will lose when he faces Kelly Pavlik.

I think Duddy will lose 2 Pavlik if it happens
Povetkin will lose when he starts fighting World Class HW
Prescott will lose wen he fights a clever boxer with a good chin

What are you basing that on? The 50 seconds you've seen of him?

Some of us have two more fights than that (Abrill & Toledo).

Please change the heading of this topic. It is so retarded it should be in the current scene.

Rather than just question that, why don't you just tell us all how far you think Rogan will go anyway?
But, in answer to your question, I just picked out guys that had had at least around 15 or more fights and/or were listed in the World Top 10 in their respective divisions.
Rogan has had 12 fights and is listed as 16th currently.

I saw you had listed Kevin Johnson and presumed you were going with guys on the 1st page of the rankings :)
Yeah Rogan isn't going past European title level but he's a great story
