Only small regions in the $m_{t} - \tan\beta$ plane are allowed when considering simultaneously (assuming the MSSM) coupling constant unification and (minimal) GUT relations among Yukawa couplings (i.e., $h_{b} = h_{\tau}$ at the unification point). In particular, if $m_{t} \simle 175$ GeV we find that only $1 \simle \tan\beta \simle 1.5$ or $\tan\beta \simgr 40 \pm 10$ is allowed. The former implies that the light Higgs boson is $\simle 110$ GeV and, in principle, visible to LEPII. The prediction for the Higgs boson mass in the $\tan\beta \approx 1$ scenario is discussed and uncertainties related to ($i$) vacuum stability constraints, ($ii$) different methods for calculating the Higgs boson mass, ($iii$) two-loop calculations and ($iv$) GUT corrections are briefly reviewed. It is shown that large left-right mixing between the $t$-scalars can significantly enhance the Higgs boson mass. That and an ambiguity in the size of the two-loop correction lead to our conservative upper bound of 110 GeV. Vacuum stability considerations constrain the $t$-scalar mixing and slightly diminish the upper bound (depending on the value of $m_{t}$). Improved two-loop calculations are also expected to strengthen the bound.
