Omar Chavez the youngest of the Chavez boys hes 4-0 and looks very talented I would say a bit more natural then what JCC looked when he was 4-0.
Odlanier Solis is my pick for heavyweight champ within two years
Within 2 years Bilbs, really?Quote:

As honest as I can be I find that really hard to believe.
Yeah I remember you uploading a video, he was scary!Quote:

Technically he doesnt count anymore, as he fought his 6th pro fight friday, but I'd still like to nominate Yuriorkis Gamboa (http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...1770&cat=boxer).Quote:

Sam Sexton -Heayweight (He's had six fights). 6-0
Well that would be good going but not impossible. He's already beaten Jeremey Bates in his 5th fight :D and was slated to fight Ross Purity but he pulled out.Quote:

An older guy from my gym made his debut on the Duddy undercard.
Martin Sweeney, won by Tko in the second. Very good amateur career.
He was the first name on my lips Dan. I saw him fight Tony McQuade on an undercard and he looked impressive. He did everything right and appears to be learning. The McQuade fight took him to 4-0. McQuade is a young 19 year old fighter, very game but looks like he'll be a journeyman at best in the end. British level max if he improves. Buckley however, could go alot further.Quote:

That I know of he has 2 and they both box.Quote:

It was a while back and I remember thinking that he was pretty good. Great footwork, combinations, came from good angles. he was real lanky if I remember correctly.
Good prospect, IMO.
He was 4-0, or something.
I have never heard of this bloke but THANKS Hobbit.Quote:

ha ha ha ;D I looked on Boxrec and there have been 15 Ray Robinsons. Apart from the Daddy, 10 of the 14 failed to win a fight ;DQuote:

I saw him against Diamond, and he looked real polished for somebody so new. It looks like he has yet to lose a single round.
Oh yeah, I saw him. I wasn't dissing your man, just laughing at the curse of being named Ray Robinson ;D

It's like a needle in a hay stack.
I've been trying to find footage of him since this thread kinda reminded of him, but have been unsuccessful so far.
And apparently Gamboa is fighting again next week (on the Miranda undercard). I have previously written here that people should watch out for this planned American debut, but I assumed that they dropped the idea when they sent him in the ring 11 days prior in Germany.Quote:

Talk about moving a fighter fast...
