    Calzaghe was our most special boxer for a long time but who do you think will be the next british superstar in boxing?

    Some might laugh but i think Oggogo has got it all:good

    can see callum smith in a lot of big fights!

    a fight with Degale for a world title would be very sellable, considering Degale stopped his older brother.

    That is if, Chunky ever wins a world title.

    Think Kal Yafi has a lot of potential as does Callum Smith, i strongly feel that Selby will do big big things in the sport aswell,

    We've got a lot of talent coming through at the minute, but none coming through that in my opinion will match Calzaghe.

    Dont agree with Selby personally.

    Wasnt impressed with his last fight, but would be wrong to write him off after one peformance.

    Kal Yafai is qaulity but where has he gone he seemed to be boxing every month then just stopped?

    Guy was an unbeaten guy and tough. Look through the great fighters, they always have one or two of these fights during they're careers.. its boxing but they always find a way to get the win. You can't just walk through everybody on talent alone, selby will go on to do big things.

    Kal injured his bicep didn't he? Always a lngish layoff, a tear of the ol' bicep.. lol

    Anyone who followed the amateurs knows Yafai never medalled at the major tournaments, he was always just below the elite fighters, he always seemed to fall short. He lost a lot of times in the 1st or 2nd round. I thinking he'll be the same in the pros, probably European champ and maybe fight for the world title but that's it, but he won't be world champion he's not good enough imo

    He wasn't even the number 1 in his division in britain, Andrew Selby was, Selby beat him by about 20 points easily! If you think Yafai is a top prospect wait till Selby turns pro! Andrew Selby is a very special talent.
