    I think if Hyde sorts his conditioning a little, he could do well.

    Sam Hyde is unfortunate, he's fighting journeyman who go into survival mode as soon as there hit. He's improving all the time, quick feet and hands, lives the life as well. Sam smashes all the prospects there right now, but things would be interesting with McCarthy.

    Exactly but if you get exposure people instantly think a fighter is a world class prospect. Its something Hearn has done very well but also his record of having very good prospects gives people confidence in the next one. Could end up being a hype job but by the time we find out he has usually made enough money anyway.

    Stephen Simmons is the best prospect , he'd probably KO Bellew..I just thought he'd walk away with the poll so didn't put him in,..

    I agree with gramsey that Tommy Mccarthy is the best from the list, but he wasn't as good an amateur as he makes out..... a Commonwealth Silver medal was the height of his senior amateur career, he never qualified for the Olympics or medalled at the World championships or Europeans..

    Sam Hyde looked really exciting and powerful in his debut but has since won all his fights by points and has a draw on his record already.Simon Valilly and Jack Massey are decent.

    Only supporting my friend. Sam's young and extremely talented, I know boxing. So I'm entitled to an opinion, sorry if it's caused offence.
