    Default Newcomers to look out for?

    Which newcomers to boxing would you say are worth looking out for and you predict will have what it takes to make it in the big leagues in the next few years or so?...and why?

    The winner of saturdays kirkland-julio fight should go on to dominate at 154 for years to come.

    In the UK we`ve got Nathan Cleverly, Derek Chisorah, Darren Barker, Tyson Fury who are all worth keeping an eye out for!!!!

    Ive not seen much of him but i like what ive seen of Daniel Jacobs. I saw him win at the weekend and thought he has some top notch power, still got alot to learn in his game but power like that takes you far enough on its own.

    No way about Tyson FUry, or the Kirkland-Julio winner, Kirkland is has way too many holes in his defense, and a poor chin, a good boxer would pick him apart, and Julio isn't all that either.

    Guys to watch are

    Demetrius Andrade, Gary Russell Jr (and all these brothers when they eventually go pro, so start watching them in the amateurs), Erislandy Lara, Gamboa(could still getting bigger in popularity), Rigondeaux, Raushee Warren(if he ever goes pro), Omar Henry, DeGale, Matt Korobov, that other guy with big wins already, Beibut Shumenov, Juan Manuel Lopez, Victor Ortiz, Danny Jacobs, Petterson brothers, Dirrell, Andre Ward, Amir Khan.

    Obviously there can be obstacles in any of these guys roads, but these are the guys I see likely to do well in the future, though obviously some of them will fall due to bad chins, mistakes they can't correct, etc.

    If your looking for the next american Roy Jones or Mayweather caliber fighter, then I suggest watching Rau'Shee Warren, and the Gary Russell brothers their credentials are great for their age, they have amazing athletic ability, they are tough, but obviously there are other qualities PBF and RJJ had, and I think out of 6 amazing brothers, and Rau'Shee there is bound to be at least one of them that is amazing at the pro level.

    Also look to Brittain and Thailand, their amateur programs are going crazy, which means better athletes and better coaching is happening. China too, if they ever let their amateur boxers go.

    David Rodriguez is a heavyweight to keep an eye on in the future. Good body puncher and seems to have a good left hook and chin.

    Not sold on McEwan, I really like Concepcion though, great footwork and mixes his punches up nicely.

    Rau'Shee has said he is going to go for the 2012 Olympics, I wonder if he's going to go stale in the amateurs, definately a talent though, I would much rather see him turn pro.

    I caught a guy called Danny Garcia on the undercard of JMM/Diaz, he looked like a good prospect, some good combinations and movement, pretty slick, think he's only had ten fights so who knows. Maybe one to watch though, fightin at welter...

    Jacobs was also on that card, although i've seen him a few times before too and he seriously needs to up the level of competition.....

    Funny thing I know Danny Garcia he sparred a couple of times at the gym I work out of. He was going to the 2008 Olympic but was robbed I believe in Texas to the hometown boy. I believe he had ballpark 285 amatuer fight's. He sparred with everyone in the gym and only 1 guy who is the trainer was able to hit him. Danny is an awesome talent and will be a champ someday.
