    Jamie Cox wants this fight later in the year. I'm glad he's got his sights set on welterweight.

    Who is the better prospect?

    Who wins?

    I take Cox if they fight later this year. Cox is technically more sound than Brook and I think he is the better prospect. Brook will be made to pay for his mistakes and will get punished for leaving his chin out to dry. That southpaw jab will give Brook a lot of problems as well.

    COX TKO.

    I would take Cox to take advantage of Brooks habit of throwing right hands with his chin in the air. I honestly think that Cox is a decent prospect but we didn't learn anything we didn't already know from his mauling of the habitually out of shape Rushton last night. Man boobs have no place in British boxing

    Cox at amateur has looked better then Brook at pro. I haven't seen Brook recently and apparently hes turned on the style with good wins.

    Brook has looked great in his last two fights, but when he comes against someone who will actually fight back and can take advantage of technical weakness we will then know how good he actually is.:good

    I think Cox would end Brook's milkrun, early.

    A well schooled, southpaw putting pressure on him...disaster :smoke

    I can smell china around Brook.

    I have visions of him back pedalling, when his power is not looking so great against a live body. Back pedalling, throwing punching with his chin in the air...and boom.

    I voted Brook. I think it would be too big a step up in class for Cox too soon, there is a big difference between guys like Brook and the fella last night. I know Brooks opposition has hardly been top class either but his last few fights have been against better than what Cox has fought and he's got rid of them without too many problems.

    Is this fight realistically going to happen anyway? I mean 2 of Warrens biggest prospects, he would never want them to lose their 0.

    With Calzaghe retiring and Ricky probably in his last year or so its easy to be downbeat, but we have plenty of young blood coming through.

    Give Cox a couple of tough fights before a shot at the british title though.

    At this stage, Kell Brook. Against Macintyre (past it no doubt) Brook showed the angles he can create against a southpaw. He seems to have found his punching power consistently now, even if the opposition hasn't been great.

    But Cox looks good. This fight will never happen anyway, Warren wouldn't allow it.
