    Billy Joe Saunders was the first name to come to mind upon reading the title.

    Anthony Yarde. He seriously needs to bridge the gap between Uber drivers and part time security guards and shot to shieet, alcoholic World Champions. Lyndon Arthur would be a step in the right direction, maybe a decent euro level guy after should he win (not a dead cert in my humble opinion) and then he really needs to match up with Buatsi or Callum Johnson which would give him some serious career momentum.

    Buatsi is kind of in the same situation and really needs to step up and get some momentum going. Saunders and Callum Smiths seeming lack of ambition is a source of huge disappointment. I think ultimately they should fight each other and the winners bargaining power on the world stage might actually be worth a damn with regard to the Canelos of the world.

    There's a rather alarming amount, so many that anyone can name 10 without really having to give it much thought. It also seems that we have a lot of fighters that talk the talk without ever really walking the walk. That's why I like Josh Taylor, he's put himself out there and already he has been in a few fights with some of the best, no messing around, that's the beauty of the WBSS.

    Yep Josh Taylor is like the Carl Froch of the now. He just wants to fight the best.

    I'm also impressed with Lee Mcgregors ambition. Won the commonwealth title in his 5th fight, won the British title in his 8th fight, and now for his 10th fight he's fighting for the European title.

    This. Yes I know covid takes some responsibility but Eubank Jnr has boxed just 2 rounds in the last 20 months.
