Juan Manuel Lopez -
http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=291928
None of the other 15 or so boxers on this list of mine will make more of an immediate impact then Juan Manuel Lopez. He may not be the next great fighter from Puerto Rico but he sure as hell is a contender. He's a southpaw with a very sharp and powerful straight left hand and like all the great Puerto Ricans, a ripping body attack. He beat up on his biggest test thus far when he destroyed Vargas on Shobox. Absolutely outclassed him and hurt Vargas just about every round with the right hook, straight left combination and could have stopped it a few times but took his foot off the gas pedal to get rounds in. I think Lopez gets a title shot and wins sometime soon, maybe before the year is over.
