    Every1 will say Stephen will go the furthest, and they might be right, but dont count Liam out, he has a nifty little skillset

    Stephen looks the best prospect. He's got a tough one coming up against Simpson though. I'm leaning towards Stephen on points which, if it happens, would get real excitement around the lad.

    Lots of threads on Paul on these boards over the last few months, in my opinion he could get to euro level and be a contender on the world scene. He's not in the bracket of the super six fighters or Bute, but there's no reason he couldnt have a bash against Steiglitz (sp?). I have been accused of Scouse bias though, so you're better off looking at someone else for a more balanced view.

    Not seen enough of Liam.

    even Paul and Liam would say Stephen. Apparently they have another brother thats supposed to be decent.

    I don't think Liam did much at all as an amateur.

    Stephen can be a world champion, A legitiment lineal one.

    Paul may be able to win a European title, maybe even a world but I think his time has passed by. He moved to slowly which is why I was paticularly disapointed with the McDermott fight.

    Liam not really sure. I heard he is seen as 3rd place really.

    All talented lads. Apparantely Callum the yongest is a good boxer, but i think most people agree Stepehen could be the most eefective in time on the world scene.

    Paul Smith is wank.... If he steps up against someone who's fringe world class i.e Sakio Bika, Jesse Brinkley, Curtis Stevens, Tarvis Simms, Andrade, Dmitry Sartison or even a bum like Brian Vera..... would all obliterate him with some comparative ease. He seems a cool cat though and hes English.... So i will back him!! But he's no good nontheless

    I don't see why Stephen is getting so much hype?

    From what ive heard from camp insiders is that Stephen is getting better and better at a frightening pace too , ive heard there is no limits to his quick learning ability !!!!

    So based on that id say it must have to be Stephen , i will add ive not seem Liam box once , not even as an a AMA ..................

    Im all for people entitled to there opinions but that's going a bit too far imo mate!! I'd bet my bottom dollar that Paul would beat Vera everyday of the week too, He'd also beat Brinkley and Sartison too imo..
