    Yeah but as 'I'm sure you know' a lot of these hyped up American pro prospects end up failing too! >> Erickson Lubin, Frankie Gomez, Jose Benavidez, Victor Ortiz, Amir Imam, Mike Jones, Jesse Hart, Marcus Browne, Anthony Sims Jr , Seth Mitchell, Lamont & Anthony Peterson, Karim Mayfield

    and failure to a lesser extent > Adrien Broner, Jeff Lacy, Deontay Wilder, The Charlo's, Andre Berto,

    I remember when all these were tipped to be future superstars

    Agree 100% all I was saying is where are our potential superstars in that age group in the pro's currently?..Dubois(who knows) josh kelly(unconvinced)buatsi(unproven)..threadbare compared to the yank prospects who have actually fought tough opposition.

    The heavyweights are a law unto themselves but I think Josh Taylor will be done by then. The style which make him so exciting to watch isn't one that will see him still at the top at 34 years old. Same goes for Warrington, if not more so.

    Buatsi could be a good shout if he progresses.

    hmm OK, I think Dennis Mccann looks special. But like I said after the Olympics you'll see the best GB squad prospects turning pro there's many names there.. Pat Mccormack and Peter McGrail in particular, they are elite.

    Is that his real name or is paying homage?

    Callum 'Plank' Smith heading for a nasty fall - Josh Taylor, Daniel Dubois, Batsui look the most likely in 5 years and Wham Bam Chan could be the top female star.

    Its a difficult one with smith tbf i expected him to push after WBSS but seems to have stalled more than anything and lets face facts he lost Ryder.

    That fight was the one I seen through Smith - he is heading for a nasty fall when facing any elite fighter.
