    Iain Weaver is being very poorly promoted/managed in my opinion, he was one of the top talents on the GB squad as an amateur and should be a lot further in his career than he is at this point. Definite potential despite the loss in America (another poor management decision fighting an undefeated guy in his back yard so early).
    Not sure if he's a prospect anymore but I believe Jazza D.ickens gets overlooked a lot, he's a serious talent and was beating Kid Galahad handily before getting caught.

    Isaac Lowe really imoresses me got a very good chance on winning titles.

    Cacacae is another one. I had seen him fight live 3 years ago against All Hamidi when my bro fought Abdul Rashid. I thought looking at that fight Ronnie would of had beaten Anti. The amount he has come on under the Mcguigans is scary. He stuck to a game plane brilliantly probably the most improved fighter I have seen.

    It has relevance to my assessment. What are you?? A troll who probably has 4 or 5 aliases. A journeyman go ask the fighters he Has been in with if they think that's what he is. I would take Barry Mcguigans word over yours. They feel he can still go far.

    I am in a position to see the difference in Cacacae in that period. It had relevance because he has improved dramatically. Its better to put reasons why you think someone has improved rather than the rubbish that some people post on here.. 3 year ago he was going no where. Now I can see him going to at least euro level

    What's your definition of far? I watched his recent fight, gives it a go yes.... But going far? I doubt it!

    Maybe barry was just being a gentleman with that comment, he's hardly gonna turn round and say he's a journeyman at best right after being blown out by one of his fighters is he?

    Time will tell, but your brother will always just be an opponent for others so stop bummin him up

    although david does go on about his brother quite a lot!! he was in no way blown away by cacace, the fight was close but cacace was winning. there was no disgrace in him being beat the way he did by going for it in the last round. imo too much fighters would have been happy to get to the end.

    david i do have a problem with you saying cacace was going nowhere 3 years ago!! the kid was a class amateur and nobody looks great against al hamidi and that includes your brother ronnie and i think it is unfair to comment that he has came from no hoper to world beater just by beating your brother and some time training with shane mcguigan!! lol

    joe ham could be a class operator, he has boxed at the highest level amateur and has always had a great style for the pros. watched him cut a good few amateurs down with wicked bodyshots and if he can make super bantamweight he could go to euro level with ease.

    I also seen his fight v Coveney and
    His fight in the US. He had no stamina and no work rate in the early part of his career. He admits this himself. If he had fought Ronnie on the same night 3 year ago he would of lost I'm 100% sure of it. I never said he never had potential just was not getting the best out of it. Look at the difference in his body shape that tells half the story. Shane Mcguigan and his team are doing a great job and they deserve a lot of credit. As well as Cacacae who has really knuckled down. This fight was close everyone there feels the same. Ronnie is no world beater non of us think that. He is better than his performance against Cacacae and hopefully he proves that. I would like to see the re match with Walsh for the feather weight title

    Jordan Gill is a good fighter. Lacks power but is very quick and goes to the body well.

    Joe Ham looks a real prospect he learnt a lot with the G.B Amateur set up & Lewis Benson who is deceiving and hard to hit..Ronnie clark is finished imo would like to have seen what he could do if he got into boxing at an earlier age

    Don't think he is finished, still think he has fights in him, possibly at featherweight. I love how people on here with fake ass names slate the boxers but are unknown and proberly never had a fight in there life. As for cacace I will be honest I didn't rate him on watching him live few year back. I think he was heavier and not training but at the weight he has massive advantages over people, I like how Costello . I think Mike towell from Dundee st welter weight really can do something. Connor law st super middle also. That guy is a monster . All Scottish fighters fly under the radar, there manager are brutal and just feed them Eastern Europeans without a will to win and it stunts there development.

    Ronnie hasn't got time on his side hence the reason I think he's finished, at least he gave a good go of it in his short boxing career to date,as I said earlier i would like to have seen what he could have done if he took up boxing when he was younger
