Top prospects and their weaknesses

[Spicoli]

Arreola...all you can eat breakfast buffets

[CutMeMick]

Billy Dib - Having an opponent.

Arreola, Cloud, Maidana, Matthysse and Abregu - They all depend on their power, they all need to start using some other aspects of boxing not just power punching.

Devon Alexander - He needs to sit on his punches more and also turn it up a bit in the output department.

Andre Ward - Can be a bit too patient at times, he needs to read his opponents better and should turn it up more as far as agressiveness.

James Kirkland - A bit on the wild side, would like to see him sit back a little and be smart in the ring.

Angulo - Slow hands, needs to use more foot movement it appeared to me that he got a bit winded vs. Tsurkan.

Jorge Linares - I know he's no longer considered a prospect BUT his weakness are injuries.

Vicente Escobedo - Being told he was the next ODLH.

Saul Alvarez - Defense can be a bit leaky, his weight seems to go up and down and can't settle into 147 or 154.

Victor Ortiz - Inactivity in 2008.

Urbano Antillon - Likes to get into gun fights, needs to use his skills more and box more, trade when he feels it's time.

Very frigile bone structure , which is common in most people of his advanced age .

Right on....

"Sascha" Dimitrenko - Begins to slap his punches as fights wear on. Needs to work on his inside game.

Paul Appleby - Lacks power, goes out of his comfort zone to often needs to stick to his game plan.

Grzegorz Proksa - I got a chance to see him fight in person in his 2nd fight on the undercard of JLC-Corrales 1. Can get a bit wild at times, needs to remain calm when he has his opponents almost out. He will start throwing wild shots and leaves himself wide open. He's one of my fav. prospects right now.

Zaurbek Baysangurov - Needs to work on establishing his jab, likes the lead right a bit too much. Could def. use better ring movement. Another one of my fav. prospects right now.

Kevin Mitchell - He thinks he's unstopable. I like confidence but as of late it seems like he's walking into the ring not really caring about his opponent. Would like to see him clean up his defense.
