    Whittaker and Azim on that list. Riley perhaps but there must be a reason why they are moving him so slow...

    Don't rate Sheeraz, Hatton or Smith.

    I wouldn't be too confident picking someone from lightweight to welterweight because of how strong these divisions are with both established fighters and up and coming ones. They are stacked.

    Pat Mccormack at 154, Peter McGrail and Ben Whittaker have the strongest chance imo

    The fact that Pat McCormack is trained by Boxercise leads me to believe he'll be another Bradley Saunders

    Junaid Bostan is another hot prospect who likely has a higher ceiling than a few names on this list.

    I think you absolutely cannot tell if a fighter has got it at world level until they fight against another ambitious contender in an eliminator or a EBU title or something like that.

    fiddly British journeymen and inflated record foreign knockovers show us absolutely nothing. might as well just watch them on the pads.

    It would take more than a bubonic plague for Frazer Clarke to win a World Title, never going to happen, he doesn't even want to fight for a British Title.

    Thinking back to that glorious night when the Ritson hype train was derailed.

    Some British fighters scrap the British title and go straight or are pushed for world glory…sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t but Clarke doesn’t even look good enough right now to win the British title.

    I voted Azim, Whittaker and Riley. I'm unaware of some of the others but I would expect these 3 to do it. I see Riley hasn't had many votes but he's in a fairly weak division, has solid amateur pedigree and a big name behind him. I expect him to win a world title.

    I chuckled at the Hatton one.

    I bet they revive the WBU belt for him. I used to think it was a top title as it was on telly.
