Are there any British welterweight prospects coming through on the domestic scene?

    Should you count a Commonwealth champion as a prospect? He's not far away from the glass ceiling really.

    He's good to watch and Brook aside is probably our best welter right now

    if our best prospect is bradley skeete then we're ****ed good and proper! god he's awful.
    surprised nobody's mentioned bradley saunders, adil anwar or tyrone nurse
    i suppose curtis woodhouse and darren hamilton are up and coming but i can't say the latter really impresses me.
    scott cardle or karl place for newbies

    Freddie Turner - not lost a round in 6 fights, although could do with being more active,

    In what world are Curtis Woodhouse and Darren Hamilton up-and-coming? They're both in their early 30's and have probably hit their ceilings already.

    No, there's nobody at all at these weights who excites me in the slightest.

    None of Saunders, Anwar or Nurse are much cop mate.

    Saunders just loads up on too many shots and even when he doesn't there is nothing overly to write home about concerning his talent level.

    Adil Anwar is one of those guys that will bamboozle fighters up to a certain level and then fall apart against a decent pressure fighter.

    Nurse couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag and you really do need to be exceptional when you've got Malignaggi style pillow fists, and I'm afraid he ain't. Don't think he'd win a British title.

    Not to be negative, all of these could compete at domestic level, they just don't have great potential beyond that.

    It's a shame because I don't think there will ever be another Ricky Hatton. Not for the crowd draws, but more for his fighting ability.

    Both are quality journeymen. Warburton has one 4 of his last 8.
