    Hate questions like this how long is someone a prospect for eg Gary Russell

    US = Wilder
    UK = (Frampton & Groves have passed prospect stage) Billy Joe Saunders.John Ryder
    Mexico = Gilberto Sanchez

    I'm not sure on him to be honest, think he will be a failure at world level. Saw him v Joe Joyce and Joyce was hurting him with good shots and Joyce has only been fighting 4 years

    Is there a different Carl Frampton than the one from Northern Ireland? My favourite English prospects are Quigg, Khal Yafai, John Ryder and Butler.

    England:
    Hughie Fury
    Anthony Joshua
    Joe Joyce

    .Fury and Joshua have the edge of being younger (18 and 22) Joyce is 6'6 and 27 . Still very young and getting great experience in the worlds.

    LHW Hrvoje Sep too

    Hrgovic was gassed after the 2nd round and its why he lost, he wasn't hurt. Hrgovic has an iron chin, needs to be consistant with his stamina though as its been an issue occasionally.

    The TS just asked for prospects, didnt say whether they had be pro or not. These guys are fighting under pro rules anyways.

    Georgia/Ukraine - Iago Kiladze. I trained him for one fight, have a look at him on YouTube. He's the current WBA Inter-Continental champ. Still, he needs some sterner tests to be honest to see if he's world class.

    Uk = Lee Selby

    By far the most exciting prospect I have seen for a long time from the UK. :deal

    The problem is that the term 'prospect' is arbitrary. One person's definition of prospect can be different from that of another person.

    If I had to define prospect, there would need to be a strict, non-arbitrary age limit. My definition of a prospect would be "any up-and-coming boxing talent, under the age of 23".
