P4P Prediction Thread

[Kev]

Ok just for fun, let's make a prediction on which fighters we think will be in the top 10 p4p this time next year. I will concentrate mostly on up and coming fighters, so it's a prediction of who will really break through.

All votes will be visable and you can vote for as many fighters as you want so we should get a decent average.

These are just a few fighters off the top of my head and obviously 10 is the poll limit so not everyone can be included. But we will do our best.

Ok I've started. I chose three off the list.

First off, I go with Andre Ward. I really think he will win the whole Super Six and if so by next year he will be adding Jermain Taylor (if he fights), Andre Dirrell and hopefully either Froch or Abraham by the end of the year.

Actually he is scheduled to fight Taylor and Dirrell and that may not be enough to get him in unless Dirrell beats Abraham, but I think he will be very close.

Edwin Valero is maybe a hope more than a prediction. I just want him to be sensational, another Pacquaio type destruction of the higher weight classes. If he can stop De Marco and then get a fight with Funeka and win that we could be seeing him get close to the honours.

Finally I went with Tim Bradley. In some ways he think he the most likely to get there as he's almost there already. Another big win and he might well be knocking on the door.

Anyway they are my picks to be the most likely to break through.

I voted Martinez, Lopez, and Ward.

bradley's the sure bet imo. i think he's peaking right now and he already has some very good wins.

already a better fighter than p.williams.

ok ive gone with Juanma, Gamboa and Valero, three of my favorite fighters, A Juanma-Gamboa fight might spoil it for the other but it would be worth it to see these two go at it!



quick question: how can u see who voted for who after you vote?
on mine once u vote u just see the numbers not the names

I went with Bradly- Doniare and Ward....

Donaire just needs another big win to put him back on the list...Ward assuming he does not fizzle out after the biggest win of his career and Bradly because after last saturdays performance there is nothing showing this kid is not headed that was soon...

I figure one of the 3 will pan out

Actually Donaire is still in the Ring's list at 6. As long as Vic Darchinyan keeps winning Nonito will probably able to take another year off and move up a couple more places...

Have you seen his current schedule joke fight? He's fighting Gerson Guerrero 34-8 who in his only previous title attempt was blasted out in 2 by Ponce De Leon.

Donaire despite being world champ for two and half years has still only faced one titlist past or present in his entire career, Vic Darchinyan. It's actually a staggering record, I mean Tim Bradley has already fought 3 world champs, Amir Khan has fought 3, Paul Williams has fought 5 I believe.

Donaire has fought 1, ONE fucking world champ fighter in his entire career. It's a joke that he's rated so high. At least Bute has fought 2.

Edwin Valero can only fight in Texas in the USA can't he ? so its gonna be tough for him to make the top 10 P4P, but i hope he does. He's very much like the young raw Manny Pacquiao, if he shows the skills he did in sparring a few years ago, and not rely just on his power, he could very well be one of the best Lightweights and a leading contender for the top 10 P4P.

I think Ward and Bradley... Ward almost deffinitly if he keeps the course and a stretch but possibly Martinez...
