    Ok, so i've thrown some names out there for possible future stars of brithish boxing.

    I know most of them are at different stages of a their respective careers, but all of them are basically "on the rise".

    Just wondered who you guys think has the potential to go the furthest, maybe a future unified world champ or even p4p fighter.

    Vote and discuss how far you think some will go or who you think will flop.

    If i've missed any names off you guys feel should be there feel free to bring em up.

    Brook by a mile

    His time must come in 2013 on the World stage.

    You've got to look at who is in their division:

    Brook - Paq, Floyd and Bradley
    Fury/Price - Klitschkos and Haye (if they get more exposure he'll fight them)
    Frampton/Quigg - Munroe, Martinez, Mares, Donaire, Rigo, Nishioka, Morel and many, many more

    I think Clev/BJS/Bellew have the best chance to nick a title and rack up defences as their divisions are weaker in that there are no top-end elite level fighters in those divisions. NB: Hopkins/Sergio won't be the same in the 18 months it'll take for BJS to fight at world level. Dawson has just had a bad stoppage loss. There's only really Ward who doesn't seem to want move up yet.

    Price, Groves and Saunders

    Cleverly and Brook are not "prospects" they are busted flushes, Bellew is European level, Frampton might be the goods, but i'm not sold yet, Fury needs a lot of development and im not sure if he'll get there, quigg no, eubanks jr probably euro level.

    The three at the top have half a chance of top tier.

    Price is 29, he isn't a prospect.
