    Went with Saunders, he really impresses me and MW is a good division for him to get opportunities at the moment

    went with Billy Joe, hes looked good so far but will be interested to see f he can maintain his high workrate when faced with stiffer opposition. Not sure bout his dedication either but hes certainly got the talent. Would have Joe Murray next

    My pick was Joe Murray. He's an extremely tidy little boxer and so unlike his brother it's not funny. Although there's one or two boxers in that list I haven't seen enough of to include in my pick.

    Prince Arron is the dark horse of that list imo. He's ridiculously experienced for his age and that will stand to him in the future. He's also magically seemed to found a bit of punching power aswell which will do him no harm either.

    this. again for me a tough decision, but as you say arron has already got good experience and has beaten some good names, and now has punch power and will have height/reach advantages in the division, quite a tough division but if he keeps improving i fancy him to do well

    Billy Joe Saunders, with Selkirk a close second. BJS has it all!

    Hearing good things about Selkirk, Paul Butler is highly rated among the pro's.

    surely Aaron is going to be forced to move up in weight at some point, can't see him remaining at 154 for much longer.

    I wouldn't really class him as a prospect either.

    I would say Saunders seems more rounded with good technique, just think he needs to slow it down a little bit, seems to be getting quite excited seeing that he's back and free from injury, no doubt Tibbs will keep him right.

    has he had any problems making light middle? he's only 23 only a year older than quigg and BJS and already a british champion and been in the ring with some good names

    Yep i've heard good things about Butler, such a shame Selkirk is injury prone, he looks really talented.
