    Gamboa, Ortiz, Khan & Kirkland. Does Angulo still count as a prospect or is he already a contender?

    I'd say he's still technically a prospect, but his level of competition is pretty high for 14 fights. Good call.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I think Ortiz is on a steady track for a shot,fiery Mike Alvarado looks ready for a decent step up.Gamboa could be considered a serious contender soon.....fight by fight I'd say

    I think Urbano Antillon and Marcos Maidana are already contenders. Maidana has a title fight coming up. As does DeAndre Lattimore

    He's probably already considered a contender, with only 17 pro fights, he might still qualify as a prospect - Andre Dirrell. I'd bet on him to turn out legit over any of the others, like Kirkland who is getting more hype or Ward, who has the great pedigree. Dirrell beats any SMW right now except Kessler, Bute, and Taylor. Andrade or Bika could give him problems because they are both so strong, tough, and hard hitting. Not that this fight would ever happen, but if Froch were to sign to fight Dirrell, come see me about a sig bet. Easy money for Dirrell.

    Khan is a fraud. Accept it. He won't be stepping up anytime soon, except to get put on the canvas.

    Gamboa is an accident waiting to happen, but he'll get a belt this year and do well as long as he stays at 125.

    Tavoris Cloud should break out this year. He's solid.

    I can't see Khan getting a title shot after being beat up by an old man.
