    In either all weight-classes, or specific weight-classes that you watch regularly in boxing today. Or name prospects who you think will have a big future in the sport.

    I would love to name them but I'm too late. Their parents beat me to it.

    See what I did there? Take your time if you don't...take your time Jimmy!

    Pretty sad when i can't even make a top 3, whereas years ago a top 10 would have been difficult.

    Pacquiao
    Marquez

    Other than that i guess i look forward to watching Donaire, Gamboa and Martinez but i can't really say they're my "favorites"

    I seriously can't name any at all

    Maybe Artur Szpilka but only because I've seen a shit load of his interviews on youtube and I'm just curious how his career progresses...

    I thought about adding Pavlik but i'd be really surprised if he doesn't look like complete rubbish against anybody not made to order.

    Hmmmm

    what's left of Vitali
    the promise of Lomachenko
    The enduring grittiness and old-schooledness of Froch.

    Perhaps this thread should be changed to boxers who you would tune in to watch on tv live, or go to see fight live.

    As Whiskey said, I once would have had trouble narrowing it down, now it's hard to think of anybody

    Of guys today, the ones I most look forward to seeing would be Donaire, Gary Russell and Matthyse

    I don't really have a favorite any more, just certain guys who have appealing styles or the potential for good bouts

    Froch for sure, fights everyone and he's usually entertaning.
    Golovkin. Might be too soon too tell, but he look like the real deal
    Bronner. Yeah he's a tool, but his whooping of demarco was pure brillance

    I'd switch out Dawson, actually, for Madaina.

    Pacquiao
    Madaina
    Pavlik

    I figured you would hate Dawson more than most.

    meaning that Dawson is a reluctant fighter who throws 5 punches per round and is about as reliable a finisher as Ivan Calderon... you generally like guys who either throw a shitload of punches with no defense or guys who fall into this weird "Hunter" category you have created... Dawson fits neither bill
