Who has more potential: Xander Zayas, Emiliano Vargas, Abdullah Mason or Curmel Moton

Four talented young up and coming prospects. Whose more likely to make it to being one of the top fighters down the road?

 

Moton is interesting but the question is whether he can keep his weight down to fight at 130lbs

he's 5 foot nothing

I wouldnt rank zayas among the other 3 as far as talent/ potential

 

Probably Mason, but I doubt any of them reach truly elite status.

 

I'd say Mason. Just off being a southpaw and fast. Immediate problems for 90% of opponents.

 

While Abdullah Mason SEEMS Like the Obvious Choice, REED Can't UNSEE Him Getting Dropped TWICE By a Non-Descript Opponent...Certainly Doesn't BODE Well for the Quality of Mason's Punch Resistance as His Caliber of Opposition Increases...




REED

 

Weight and the Floyd Factor...Having Been "Burned" By Tank, Floyd Ain't SECURE Enough in Himself to NOT Hold Tank AGAINST Curmel (Directly or Indirectly)...

agREED on Zayas...His Major Assets are SIZE & YOUTH, Instead of Pure TALENT...




REED

 

on the subject of being dropped/rattled.....guys like Hatton and Ward were dropped and hurt early in their career and went on to show decent chins. Sam Peter ate bombs Vs Wlad then fell apart Vs McCline but still went on to win a title.

It's not good, but it's not always definitely a thing.

 

Being a 2nd Generation Boxer AND the Youngest of Fernando Vargas' Offspring Will Likely Play Out in Emiliano Vargas' FAVOR...

It's Almost Always the YOUNGEST Sibling That Ends Up Being the BEST of the Bunch...

Today, REED Ranks them as Such...

1. Abdullah Mason
2. Emiliano Vargas
3. Curmel Moton
4. Xander Zayas


REED

 

REED Only Harps on it in Mason's Case Because it Happened TWICE in the Same Round...A 1-Off Knockdown or Stanky Leg Moment Can Happen to Just About Anybody...

TWICE Though???...vs. the Same Guy???...

Well if you've already been buzzed once then a second trip might not be far off before your head clears.
