How would you rank these young fighters from best to worst in terms of talent and potential? Go!

J Rock
Pedraza
Verdejo
Spence
Imam
Valdez
Joshua
Lubin

Imam
Joshua - my only complaint is his physique...i dont want him to go into frank bruno territory but so far he carries it well.but needs to cut some more.he should be champ by 2017
Spence
Pedraza - he won a title; good boxing skills but i feel he admires his work too much and takes his foot off the gas which is why i have him under the top 3..have to see if that changes tomorrow night
J Rock
Lubin
Valdez
Verdejo - *edit* gotta explain; verdejo being last is nothing talent wise but dude is already having hand issues..hand issues limits potential to me..so hes a question mark

1. Anthony Joshua - has all the tools necessary to be a dominant heavyweight and with the division in the shape it is in his potential to be on top is much greater than everyone else on the list.

2. Errol Spence - not much that needs to be said aside from him needing to step up in comp sooner rather than later.

3. Felix Verdejo - has everything necessary to be the new standard bearer for Boricuas everywhere (his actually being able to speak Spanish puts him over Swift in that regard)

4. Erickson Lubin - even as raw as he still is there is no denying The Hammer has that "It" that makes superstars

5. Julian Williams - J Rock is going to make some noise at junior middle but I think he has the potential to be a force in the middleweight division too; plus he is local and I stan all local fighters

6. Amir Imam - I really like Imam but for the longest I have had this notion in my head that he is going to end up being a Zab Judah level fighter and not a superstar or elite guy

7. Oscar Valdez - I could see Oscar becoming a huge star especially if he can make the move up from featherweight to lightweight successfully

8. Jose Pedraza - I see Pedraza having a nice career but never being "The Man" at his weight class

this is why my eye for talent is on point

Real talk, a lot of nikkas (not most) that stan dominant/undefeated fighters is because they want to have some sort of one up on nikkas in debates and boxing discussions. Like it's on some "You admire the best so your boxing eye/ring IQ has to be higher than somebody who's a stan of Brandon Rios type shyt.

Like you can't acknowledge or stan C and B level guys and still know boxing. If you back a fighter that's been beaten or exposed, that means your boxing knowledge is skewed/impaired.

The thing is you can only believe in someone so much. You can't fight for them. Word to Bojado
