    Just gonna say Tom Welland because he’s the last prospect I saw.

    Quite liked what I’ve seen from Adam Azim too, we’ll see what he’s about against Harlem Eubank.

    Johnny Fisher - called it years ago that this guy would win a belt and I'm sticking to that prediction.

    These are mostly British fighters who, due to corruption in boxing, will get plenty of opportunities even if they lose...

    I think AJ is looking good. He's getting experience fighting better and better guys and different styles. Franklin, Helenius, Wallin. Soon he'll be ready to test himself against Dubious or maybe even a near-forty Wilder.
    Perhaps Wilder is still a little soon, but not too far away.
    If Wilder gets Covid it might speed thing along, because AJ does very well against 40-year-olds with Covid. Pulev had nothing for him!

    It's frustrating following talented European boxers who get ruined by inactivity and meaningless opposition, or get robbed by crooked referees and corrupt judges.

    It's more enjoyable to follow a talented British boxer like Chamberlain or a talented African-American boxer like Ennis who will have quality promotion and plenty of opportunities.

    There's an English guy called Dan Toward who looks pretty legit to me.

    Eubank junior… but he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes, he’s got high apple pie in the sky hopes.
