    i do carry on, i though andy lee might be on your list but u didnt include him.

    also i think murray is worth a world title definitely but went backwards fighting in south africa.
    Out of the young ones, i like bjs to nick a world title in a few years time. hopefully fighting eubanks in a domestic clash later on.
    John ryder impresses me with his strength and decent boxing skills looks quite hard to hit despite his huge head, he also could of beat billy joe if he got more agressive.
    Matthew macklin i dont rate so highly, and wont get a title in the future and he gets beaten by murray and lee.

    as for the rest im non the wiser mate, im not the most knowledgeable. adam etches ive heard off decent power and young.

    That's better hoods :good

    I left Andy Lee out because he's Irish and he wouldn't be eligible to fight for the British title, but if you want to include him put him in at no.4.

    I don't think Martin Murray has went backwards since fighting in South Africa he just needs the big fights to motivate him which his new promoter should get him. Remember he laboured to a points win over Sergey Khomitski on a Matchroom show.

    I like Billy Joe quality fighter and I think he'll win the European title next month, but I'm not sure if he's ready to beat Peter Quillin yet.

    John Ryder's a good fighter he's got a nice southpaw jab and brings pressure, but I find him very easy to hit with his lack of head movement. I thought Billy Joe handled him nicely. BJ had a high workrate for the first half of the fight, but he couldn't keep that tempo up and Ryder came back into it , but Saunders moved up a gear when he had to to win that fight, Different levels. I also thought Eamon Okane could have beaten Ryder had he stuck to his boxing and not fought Ryder at his game, but credit to Ryder for dragging him into it.

    Macklin can win a world title he just needs the right fight at the right time and I thought he just edged it against Sturm. I mean you know what you're going to get with Macklin and he has faced the best in the division and you can't say the same for some of the other middleweights.

    Billy Joe Saunders will win a world title by the end of next year I believe. Great skill and hand speed.

    John Ryder is not too far behind BJS, but I assume he has his heart set on winning the British title before moving up in class, hence why no International/intercontinental titles yet. Great right hook lead and a hammer of a left hand. gets hit a little too often but is still a fairly new pro and lots of work to do.

    Eubank Jr I hear is the real deal, im just not sure if he will have the will and desire to pull a win out the bag when put in the trenches. time will tell

    Eubank JR at no1

    He would dish out a boxing clinic on any middleweight in this country.

    I am being serious too.
