    I never quite know how to define a prospect..every has different classifications of the term. are Luke Campbell and Callum Smith still to be classed as prospects for example?

    anyway...I really rate...Liam Williams, Josh Taylor, Andrew Selby, Ahmet Patterson, Robbie Davies Jr, Paddy Barnes, Mark Heffron, Marcus Morrison,.

    and it's early days but am looking forward to seeing more of Ted Cheeseman, Reece Bellotti, Nathan Gorman

    Joss Paul
    Sam O'Maison
    Mark Heffron
    Johnny Coyle

    I'd like to see Anthony Yarde versus a non Hungarian with a winning record he looks raw with very little amateur pedigree and has been matched extremely softly.

    Ward is talented but has like no power whatsoever

    I forgot about Coyle.. good fighter it's strange how he isn't signed to Hearn or Warren

    There's a list in Boxing News and a lot of the above are mentioned. Be interesting to see who breaks through onto the British scene as a lot are reaching the 10-15 bout mark
