1. Felix Verdejo
Topping our list is Felix Verdejo, the young, undefeated boxing sensation fighting out of the boxing crazed island of Puerto Rico.
He holds a perfect record of 15 wins with zero losses, 11 of his wins coming by KO. “El Diamante” is already a star on his home island and reminds everybody who has caught a glimpse of him of a young Miguel Cotto.
The baby faced Lightweight is promoted by Top Rank Promotions and has already carved out boxing home bases in San Juan along with Southern Florida and has done well fighting in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Cotto’s under card.
He has the intangibles to be a star, with his boyish charm and in the ring savvy, Verdejo is the new PR King in waiting.
Expect him to step up in competition in 2015 and become a staple on HBO under cards.
