Which prospect on Dec 06 has the most potential?

[Taeth]

Wow these are three prospects who match up with any prospect in the business, but who will achieve the most in their career?

Victor Ortiz: good speed and power, great amateur who's chin I question a little bit, but seems to be the complete package. He's 21 and has had 23 fights.

Juan Manuel Lopez: the furthest into his career of these three, he has scary power, good boxing skills, not as fast as the other two, but definitely a future star, and very dynamic fighter.

Then there is
Daniel Jacobs: This kid has incredible handspeed, great body work, the most untested, but has good power, and like I said you have to love that left hook to the body, and he also seems pretty tight technically.

All three are great, but I wouldn't call JuanMa a prospect anymore, he's already in top eschelon of his division, and he's an honorary alphabet soup member.

I really like Danny Jacobs, he's really got his game under control.

I consider a fighter a prospect depending on their potential, I think until JML fights either Marquez or Vazquez that he is a prospect.

I can't agree with this definition, because that would mean Molitor, Caballero, Gonzalez, DPDL and Penalosa are all prospects as well.

Ortiz is the one I'm most exited about from those.

No it isn't, they have never had JML's potential which is what I am saying, I think Roy Jones JR was a prospect until he faced James Toney ,and the world realized how good he was, even though he was already a title holder at middleweight, and had beaten respectable names.

I think Ali was a prospect until he faced Listion though he had already foughten good fighters before then

Mayweather was largely considered a prospect until he beat Corrales, even though it was his seventh title defense.

I still view Berto has a prosecpt even though he has a title, because he hasn't foughten the best yet.

LIke I said I think a guy is a prospect until he faces somebody who is considered at least even with him going into the fight.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree, I consider those guys contenders and champs.

Juan Manuel's a champion, not a prospect. Maybe not a very well known champion, but a champion nonetheless. Prospects are good fighters with high probabilities of someday becoming champions. Therein lies the difference.

Glad to be of help.

Once again IMO belt holder and champion are two different things nowadays, being the ring champion IMO is being the champion.

Wow, I can be wonderfully redundant and wrong...

To answer the question I think it's JML because I think only JML has showed he has what it takes to be great as in the best fighter in boxing great, I think it's pretty hard to bet against him against anyone and he will be THE guy in the not to distant future. Really excited to see him I think there are a lot of guys coming up.

I can understand how JML can still be considered a prospect just based on what he's done versus what he is expecting to hopes to do. Certainly he has bigger fish to fry then Ponce De Leon or any of these guys he's beat, he still hasn't actually been tested in the ring yet with anyone close to his skill level. So I can understand how one could call him a prospect, I think it's OK either way.

Also what the hell is Hattonthehammer on about? Does he post here anymore I mean really, really? Wrong on about 10 trillion levels. I really don't want this to turn into a UK Fans versus US Fans thread but I have to get this in, if Andre Ward, Andre Berto, Andre Dirrell or the Peterson brothers got KO'd in the 1st round by a wild swinging Colombian, you couldn't get anyone here to say one good word about a win over Oisin Fagan. I think Khan is almost being given a break now that he's coming back simply because it's like an easy target. He's getting treated very well imo while Kirkland and Gamboa, guys who should be creating tremendous buzz simply because they are fun to watch fight, like Khan but at a higher level, aren't.
