    I personally like Groves, Saunders and Fury as less experienced fighters!
    But of the more experienced id say Kell Brook, Jamie Cox, and Cleverley!

    1 Don Broadhurst.
    2 Kell Brook

    Two most talented prospects by far imo. They both throw combination's and counter punches that only world class fighters throw. I put Brook below Broadhurst because defensively Brook leaves his chin out to dry occasionally. Not saying Broadhurst has a great defence because he also gets hit a bit. However Broahurst is a lot more conventional.

    Occasionally? Brook always has his chin in the air particuarly when he leans back. That's why I think against a real proper pressure fighter with a pulse he is in for a rude awakening.

    Plus I don't think his power is half as good as it appears at present. Fact is he's fought some guys with "soft" chins shall we say.

    George Groves.

    Out of the Olympians BJS and Degale have impressed me the most. Haven't seen Sutherland yet.

    Nathan Cleverly and David Price. Fury is starting to look interesting too

    No you are correct, but i was trying to be generous :lol:

    I feel that same way. However he does have the talent to be an excellent fighter.

    Can't belive that pretty much no one has said Gavin. The guy was arguably the best pound for pound amature for a while. I think he'l go on to world title level, probobly BJS will aswell. Can't decide on Cleverly, don't think a KO against Billy Boyle makes him a top British prospect. Munroe's a good prospect, he's improving all the time.

    Sutherland for me

    Looks made for the pros, reminds me of Cotto

    It's hard to judge how far novices will go but he's the fighter I most look forward to seeing

    All the Olympians (including Gavin) look good IMO

    Smith and Groves look top class to me.

    I know he isn't British, but someone else mentioned him so I thought he was in the mix

    If I had to make a pick of the Brits, hmmm, Degale

    He doesn't punch particularly correctly yet and he will probably be boring in some fights but he's clearly got talent to burn
