10: Future Pound-for-Pound Top 10 Fighters

A weekly boxing list usually compiled by Michael Rosenthal, but since the co-editor of the site is on a well-earned ski getaway, Doug Fischer is giving the list a try. So while ‘Mighty Mike’ hits the slopes read on for a list of 10 fighters Dougie believes will earn top-10 pound-for-pound status over the next year (in alphabetic order with the divisions they will likely compete in):
Arthur Abraham – Middleweight/Super Middleweight
Vic Darchinyan – Junior Bantamweight/Bantamweight
Chad Dawson – Light Heavyweight
Nonito Donaire – Flyweight/Junior Bantamweight
Roman Gonzalez – Strawweight/Junior Flyweight
Jorge Linares – Junior Lightweight/Lightweight
Juan Manuel Lopez – Junior Featherweight/Featherweight
Fernando Montiel – Junior Bantamweight/Bantamweight
Edwin Valero – Lightweight/Junior Welterweight
Paul Williams – Welterweight/Junior Middleweight/Middleweight
YouTube video is of Roman Gonzalez's 15th pro bout vs. two-time title challenger Eriberto Gejon. Gonazlez, who is promoted by Teiken Boxing Promotions, is now a 105-pound titlist with a 22-0 (20) record.
