British Prospects

A few names to look out for are Paul Appleby (only 12 or 13 fights and has already defended the british title)

Thomas Costello. Midlands fighter, never seen him in action yet but from what I hear he looks brilliant.

 

I've been very impressed by Kell Brook but he looks very small for a welterweight.

I want to see if Kevin Mitchell can make the step up as well.

 

Kell Brook
Denton Vassel
Tony Bellew
Tyson Fury
The amateur guys are worth watching of course

These are green prospects I would have some hope for in the long run. You've got "proven" prospects that are at British, maybe commonwealth level but I don't think a great deal of them. They don't have the sort of potential that says to me they will be following in the footsteps of Calzaghe etc.

 

Do you think he'll end up or at least have some fights at 140?

To me he looks small for 147, I can't even imagine him getting in the ring with someone like Margarito for example. The size difference would be enormous.

 

Stephen Smith looks pretty good from what I've seen so far.

 

He is small at 5'9, but he seems quite stocky with it. The problem is if you compare him to Margarito of course he looks small. Who does not look small next to Margarito? Compared to your average welterweight he's okay.

If you look at his weights, he's weighed in at 154 a few times. That tells you he's gotta be walking around at least 160.

He's 22 years old, he will grow stronger. I can see him having a Berto like build in a few years. That guy is short too.

 

I just googled him all sounds very promising.

Let's hope he goes far because by the sounds of it he's got a lot going for him.

 

Jordan Burbeck :deal

 

Appleby looks a fairly decent prospect, i don't think his power will hold up against a higher level of fighter so his overall skills will need to improve, but he's still young and has made a great start.

Kell Brook could be the next big thing, i was at the Kevin Mcintyre fight and he simply blew him away, i wasn't too happy at the result but you could see he was a class above Mcintyre.

 

Kell Brook and Mike Stanton

 

I think we definetly have a few Warren fighters who could become world champions in the WBO organisation but for actual world champions we will probably have to wait and see what the Olympians do. Britain has alot of talent coming through so our domestic scene could be very exciting in the next few years and also at European level, no one has quite shown enough to say we have more WBC champions.

 

Probably not a "prospect" but definatly British and yet to imppact the world scene would be Jamie Moore, for me hes definatly one to watch

 

Derik Chisora - Skilled but out of shape heavy, will get to Euro level
David Dolan - gone down from heavy to cruiser, good boxer with amateur pedigree, if he signed with Warren could pick up the WBO maybe
Nathan Cleverly - 21 year old Commoweath LHW after 14 fights. lack power but scored a 1 punch KO in his last fight, hes going for the british title next agaisnt a very good euro level fighter dean francis and if he beats him well we could have a future world champion
Tony Bellew - Top Amateur unlucky not to go to the olympics has 5 KO in 5 fights so far, if he gets in better shape can do some real damage.
James DeGale - Olympic Gold, we will have to wait and see but will be a huge name for years to come, many in the know have rated him for a long time
Darren Sutherland - Irish Bronze medalist at the olympics, has a style for the pros. out of everyone in this list hes the one i would tip to make the biggest name worldwide
Tonny Jeffries - Olympic Bronze medalist, has good style for the pros. Signed with Hobson who got Clinton Woods a world title, so might pick up an alphabet one day.
George Groves - Beat James DeGale last year, he is only 18 but signed with Hayemaker who will take allot of risks with him and fast track the kid. Could end up in the shadow of the three olympians above for along time. Very good style for the pros
Paul Smith - Former contender fight lost his undefeated record in a dodgy decision last year. looks great but never delivers. could pick up WBO under Warren
Darren Bakker - ITV exposure will make him a big name, can clean up domesticly by the end of the year, and go may win a title as big names are leaving MW.
Matthew Hall - Young LMW in a very tough division domesticly, warren will take his time with him. fights allot like Hatton
Kell Brook - Looks like a very skilled fighter, warren will get him the WBO but we shall see if he pushes on any further
Stephen Smith - Brother of Paul, international amateur unlucky not to make the olympics, looks good so far.
Khan - Big name will leave lightweight soon and that will give Khan a ****. hes got the skills, but everytime he fights a puncher hes gonna get destroyed
Kevin Mitchell - Good fan base, warren thinks allot of him. if hes put in the right fights he will win a world title, should be up there with Haye and Froch in the next few years
Vinny Mitchell - is tipped to be better than Kevin but lacks the dedication, judging on his last fight, and 1st round KO, he might have it now.
Paul Appleby - Young British champion but in a tough domestic division. maybe doing to much to soon but looks like he could be something special
Rendall Munroe - Popular Eurpoean champion, will likley get exposed at world level as SBW is a **** hot division
Ian Napa - EURO and British champ could pick up a world title in the right fight.

thinks thats all.
