Looks real good to be fair
Has anyone ever heard of or seen Puerto Rican Jesus Rojas, a 122 pounder? This guy is awesome!! He fights on many of the major undercards promoted by Arum, which tells you what Arum thinks of him. For a few years, Juan Manuel Lopez fought on the undercards of top Arum promotions as a way to get showcased. Watch out for Rojas.
If this had been 2 months ago, everyone would have been saying Andy Lee. Now he's left with only Lyle sticking up for him :) Just an observation really, but I find it funny how we (fans) really do go for hype and what other people says once in a while.
A few European based prospects who havent been mentioned yet:
Vitali Tajbert
Gennady Golovkin
juan manuel lopez
amir khan
andre berto
Abner Mares is a bad ass, another good fighter is Jorge Linares but I dont think he falls in the range of prospect anymore.
Pretty much everybody's been mentioned. I'll throw in Argenis Mendez, 130 pounder.
I had heard amazing things about him and when I finally saw him I wasn't totally blown away but possibly just had too high expectations. Still he's got a lot of natural talent, just needs to use the jab and find one trainer and stick with him.
I was reasonably impressed with some kid named Pabon ESPN2 one night. Maybe not so impressed that I remembered his first name but definitely took notice of him. Pretty sharp fighter, maybe not huge athletic talent but a skilled guy for a prospect.
Andy Lee was being hailed as a monster who could possibly fight Pavlik by the end of the year...that all ended couple of weeks ago when he got owned.
Do you mean Jesus Pabon, another up and coming Rican? If so, that guy is good to, though I think he has a fluke loss.Quote:

I know he is not a professional yet but once you've seen him you will be convinced he'll make a huge impact as a pro.

Raushe Warren my fault.This is not the best I've seen of him on the you tube broadcasts but last night he looked phenomenal.
Yes he did and against Carlos Ortiz no less, one of Puerto Rico's top amateurs.Quote:
