    Josh Taylor (18/19) determined skillful and a very fast learner.

    Surprised many by making Commonwealth games final losing to Tom Stalker. Hoping to make the 2012 olympic squad.

    Stalker (supposedly) has now moved up in weight leaving the way open for Taylor who needs to put in some good tournament perfromances. He is fighting today in the semi-final of a big tourny in Belgrade.

    Yeah good call on billy Joe Saunders, want to see him put in some hard work this year, hopefully injury free with some tough opponents.

    JT looks a decent boxer who is hard to beat. I hear he drinks every weekend though, and was on it right up until the commonwealth games. So I wouldn't be surprised if he faded away in a few years as if what I hear is correct he doesn't have the dedication to make the most of his ability.

    i haven't heard any of these stories about josh, he has always seemed dedicated when i have spoke to him or those around him. but he can get hot-headed and lose focus. he is also a really bad loser and can get out of order if he is beat.

    I'm actually starting to think maybe it was Aston Brown. I always get the pair of them mixed up! but one of them is reknowned for his swallying.

    Callum Smith loads of room to improve and a good skilled boxer. Looked good against fowler in the echo arena back late last year, Fowler is good boxer aswell has brilliant power and speed about him.
