    Anthony Fowler.
    Liverpool.
    I can see a rivalry with Liam Smith coming and I think he'll get to world level. Style is all right for the professional game.

    You reckon he will beat Smith? Do they get on/have they sparred etc?

    I fear a VERY tough amateur career may have taken something out of Fowler. I hope to be proven wrong as seems a nice kid and is certainly a good watch

    I don't know about Liam but believe he was 1-1 with Callum Smith in amateurs. I think Fowler has a terrific style for pros, could go all the way. Wished he turned over a couple of years ago,

    We'll I'm in Edinburgh so have Josh Taylor as home boy. Very exciting fighter. Just hope his career is managed properly.

    There's also big Davie down my local pub who fancies a shot at Wilder (but Wilder would see him as too risky).

    edinburgh has some very good prospects at the minute. stephen tiffany, lewis paulin, jason easton and josh taylor all looking good already in the pro's and someone that could be a special talent is lee mcgreggor who trains meadowbank and is part of the gb set up. really think he could be special:thumbsup:

    I really don't know the answer to any of these questions haha.

    But I've mentioned before what tends to happen for these derby fights is the friendship goes out the window and the nastiness comes in.

    I'm from Newcastle and most of our prospects are amateurs. Pat & Luke McCormack, Calum French, Joe Laws & Cyrus Pattinson are all quality fighters but none are showing any ambition to turn pro anytime soon.

    In the pros there's Lewis Ritson who's meant to be decent although I haven't seen much of him. Be interesting to see how he does on the Crolla-Burns bill against Robbie Barrett for the British title.

    The town drunk, the wino that lives in the alley could get a fight with Wilder if he gets sick enough...................

    I seen that Cyrus live in Liverpool for abas a year or two ago. Fought a great fight and beat a weight drained Scott Fitzgerald. Every now and then I check up on his progress.

    As for Fitzgerald I thought he'd progress faster in pros. Been a slow burner.

    I think Josh Taylor is the one though. Think he's brilliant. When he was calling out Burns last time out I was panicking because I didn't want Ricky to get his reputation even more ruined as I really like him. Glad he chose to fight Crolla. I think it's a good fight despite all the criticism.
