    I havnt followed boxing in depth for a long time,and so was wondering is our current crop the standard or is our bunch of prospects a bit special

    The real deal or well promoted

    Lee selby
    Gary buckland
    Kevin satchell
    Paul butler
    Kal yafai
    Callum smith
    Mitchell smith

    Too name just a few,we have a large number of promising talents is this normal?

    Butler and Selby I'm already sold on, Yafai I think will go very far too.

    Hope yafai's bicept injury heals ok else he won't be throwing them hooks to the body with confidence

    Callum Smith looks good as well
    Mitchell smith seems to have something about him

    Selby and Yafai are the stand out prospects for me. I think both will be world title level, and as good as some others are, I'm only convinced about those two.

    I personally think once you have won a domestic title you can't be called a prospect anymore.

    Smith & Yafai stand out for me.

    I like Bradley Saunders, Eubank Jr and Joe Selkirk as future British title winners at least.

    Kicking on, Groves and Frampton to take the next world titles.

    M smith
    Buglioni

    Prospect for me is 15 fights or under,because after that you should be being matched tougher
