Heard the latest Freddie Roach protege, 17-year old Jesse Benavidez, has shown the same qualities that are stock essentials of the the greats.

I used to think highly of Daniel Jacobs, but recent outings have proven that he has yet to develop decisiveness in his approach towards his chosen profession.
Wilson did well, however he just didn't perform in his next fight and threw away a decision that could easily have been his. He's fighting tomorrow night and hopefully he can start to make amends, but I suspect he's headed for life as gatekeeper rather than any dreams of a world title. He just looks to lack that consistency to me.

Benavidez and Jacobs are both heavily hyped. Benavidez looks very good so far, but he should be against the comp he's been in with. It's hard to say he's a prospect until he's fought someone at least slightly above tomato can level.

I don't know what you're seeing in Jacobs, he's done well when stepping up against difficult guys like Walker & Ishe Smith. Those aren't easy guys to look good against, but he made sure he clearly won. It can't all be knockouts and he's showing a hell of a lot of promise.
