I'd go with Chad Dawson from the list, but Andre Ward overall.
Ward will move up and beat Dawson in 2012 to become the p4p champ.
Bradley is a solid fighter but no way do I see greatness in him. I can't imagine he'd ever get close to the level of a Mayweather, Pacquaio, Mosely or even Cotto.
He's a solid world champ and capable of being a Ring champ or undisputed at 140 but he's not beating the best guys at welterweight which is what he'd need to do to get anywhere near p4p number 1 in the world.
He has the potential to be on the level maybe of a Hatton, Corales or Castillo imo, i.e a worthy opponent for a p4p number 1 guy, but he's getting exposed if he meets them.

Original & Best: The Sugar Man
Yuriorkis will at least be a quadruple champ by that time, 126,130,135 and 140 lbs. Maybe even 147, he is definitely small for that weightclass though like Manny.

Ive been saying this from the very 1st time ive seen gamboa
He just has the structure of a natural welterweight. It bodes well for him now that he can make 123/124pounds when required because eventually when he does move through the weights he`ll be able to allign himself as a multi weight world champion
one dangerous horrible bloke
Yeah I immediatley thought Devon. He's certainly going to be in big fights. He is the unified champ but he's calling the challengers out. You dont often see that. I expect good things from him. He can move and bang. Good mix for whatever style he comes up against.
Of those mentioned, it's likely to be either Dawson or Gamboa. However, neither of those guys are that young & 4 years is a very long time in boxing. Alexander, Ward & Dirrell are distinct possibilities if one of them wins the super-six. The thing is the P4P rankings are invariably US-dominated (or certainly dominated by fighters who've fought on US TV), otherwise I'd make an argument that if Hasegawa can deliver on the promise he's shown, he could well be up there, he's already in my top 10.
I say Berto. I see Andre losing sometime in the next 4 years and coming back as an even more formidable force. He'll eventually lure Bradley up to Welter, have a FOTY and collect 3 of the 4 major titles, including linear championship.
Gamboa is the most exciting and complete fighter I have seen up and comming for a long time.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
