Thread: Three fighters that will break out in 2011

***I blew it I meant 2012****


Rico Ramos, Gary Russell Jr, and Adrien Broner I like them all. They combine everything there is to love about guys in their respective weight classes:

Speed
Technical boxing ability
Power

I think Adrien Broner will be the first of the three to break out as he is technically not a prospect anymore and does have an alphabet title already in his collection. He also has a higher knockout ratio than the other two leading to the obvious fact, he finishes fights.

Between Russell Jr. and Ramos, I think Russell Jr. has the more talent and is a lot more technically sound but Ramos is no slouch and the fact that he is from Pico Rivera, where I once had an office and occasionally visit clients, makes him my home town favorite.

Here a couple of links for fights these boxers were in this year:

Ismayl Sillakh should have a good year.

How do you define breakout? I assume go from being a prospect to a top fighter. For me, Ismayl Sillakh, Gennady Golovkin and Kell Brook. All three are ranked in the top ten now though but so are the guys Onix named.

Ya I meant going from top prospect to champion or fighting on against elite level fighters, also I see their popularity and exposure really start blossoming next year.

Another person I forgot to mention is Mikey Garcia, though Im not sure we will see him fight elite competition in 2012 but he is definitely as good or better than any of the first three I mentioned.
