Kovalev and golovkin might be a bit old at that stage
Lemochenko, Thurman and Garcia are Certs I think!

Don't think groves will quite make it

Not really seen enough of the rest to comment just now

They would be 35/36, maybe at the end of their career but still should be active.

Lomachenko, could be one of the greatest ever, but has a very long way to go. Some huge fights out there for him. He has Salido up next then talk of Gary Russel jr. After ten fights he could have a better resume than fighters with 40 fights under their belt.

If Ward does move up to light heavy, the coast could be clear for Groves become the divisional number one. Lot of other young fighters coming through though.

These are the kind of predictions that can go horribly wrong and come back to haunt you D4!!

In no particular order, I think these guys will be up there in 5 years:

Thurman, Crawford, Lomachenko, M.Garcia and the Charlo brothers.

Joshua

I'd be some kind of freaking Nostradamus, to call this right.

No one is going to expect to get them all spot on and then have a go that I didn't.


Oh wait, RGS and Azania post here

D4, check out the Charlo brothers. I watched a few of their fights after Jermell easily beat Rosado and I was massively impressed, they look really good fighters.

I've only seen highlights of Verdejo but he looks a special talent.

Oh yeah just realised we watched the Charlo - Rosado fight together on the FN thread...

Joshua, has to the tools, but maybe he lacks the heart for the job, far too early to tell. But from what I see of him during the Olympics, I would say no. But he could still learn a hell of a lot and surprise me.

I've seen the Kamran, was tempting to put them in, but they are either going to come up against Thruman in the future if he moves up or GGG if they move up.

I didn't pick any 30+ fighters cos you never know when they're gonna lose it, it can happen very early into your 30s.

We tipped Charlo to win, don't think RGS did though.

Got to update that thread

Great potential fights D4

They train with Lara so they'll learn a lot from him. They're gonna be very hard to beat.

Rosado is a tough facker and Jermell beat him with relative ease.

Rosado has had some very tough fights recently and he becoming very battle worn.

Wasn't Verdejo fighting that night D4? They didn't facking televise him

I need to watch more of him, he's a big lad for 130 and he's only 20, no doubt he'll end up at 140 and possibly 147 in the future.

Gary Russell jnr the biggest waste of talent ever

Right you are Kamran, they thought you would rather listen to fat old Bunce going on and on.

Verdejo want revenge on Lomachenko.

Did you see their fight in the Olympics D4? I haven't seen it but a lot of people think Verdejo won the fight

Didn't see it. Might be on youtube.

What do you think of this guy?

I'll give it a watch now a let you know

Impressed with his jab so far, very rangy

Anyone think broner will be in the top 5 in 5 years I do, depending on what weight he decides to go to

I don't like how he keeps dropping his hands, especially his left hand. A southpaw with a good right hook could take advantage of that.

But tbf he'd probably fight differently against a southpaw or a higher calibre of opposition.

He looks good though, good footwork and nice pop on his jab

no chance, it doesn't matter what weight he fights at, he'll be forgotten within a couple of years.
