    Out of the 4 young undefeated Mexican-Americans who do you think will end up achieving the most in the future? They all still haven't faced their biggest tests (yet) but they do have the talents to go far, it all stems to management and also their dedication to the sport. Do you see all of them living up to their potentials?

    Three legit talents. One social media fraud. You shoulda replaced Ryan with Rayo Valenzuela.

    Lookin like Rodriguez is the answer though. Benavidez second, as I could consider Benavidez's ceiling higher than Vergil's.

    Vergil I think is Cotto-lite.

    Bigger firepower than Cotto, but less skill and talent.

    Rodriguez figures to go far.

    Rayo has potential to be really good.

    Ortiz looks good but I’d like to see him improve his skills a bit.

    Benavidez if he stays disciplined will rule 168.

    Ryan has hand speed but little else. And his chin appears to be Khan like.

    rodrigues is the only one that's been tested. he belongs in a different category. the other guys have been treading water, looking for paydays.

    Depends on how you define ''achievements'' to be honest. If it's strictly boxing, the safe answer is Rodriguez, Benavidez, Ortiz and Garcia (though Ryan could surprise if he ever dedicates himself and Benavidez could easily turn numero uno considering he's fightingat Canelo weight and I feel he has the potential to beat him). If it's fame/money than it's turned upside down (save for Benavidez staying at #2).

    Not really. Sure Rodriguez opposition has been better (though vs guys at the tailend of their career) but they all have beaten legit contenders. Especially Ortiz with Mean Machine and Hooker.

    Hooker never did shit at 147. And don't even know who mean machine is.

    what kind of real boxing fan would care about, let alone discuss, the fame and money side of things? we're going to debate who is more famous and rich now? not me.

    unfortunately yes, going as far as decrying opponents deemed "too difficult" or not worth the risk.
