    Feel free to mention any other names I've left out.

    Maybe you don't think any of them and they're all ****?

    I could see Dalton Smith and Dennis McCann winning world titles.

    Whitaker, yeah I get he's trying to play the villain but my god I hope gets flattened..

    Adam Azim just seems like he could be an accident waiting to happen but he does have an excellent trainer in Shane McGuigan who will get the absolute very best out of him so would be no surprise to see him get to world honours.

    It’s difficult to predict because it depends on a lot of factors like the broadcaster and promotional company you have around you as well as the fighters in the division at the time.

    Clarke and Riley I say definitely not.

    Whittaker I say yes especially because of the Sky backing. Same for Azim.

    Cooper, Hatton and Hedges I say no.

    Sheeraz I also say no.

    McCann and Smith I say yes but depends on the division state at the time I guess like it does with everyone.

    So in all Whittaker, Azim, McCann and Smith.

    I'm kinda with this and I do agree defo about the broadcast backing, how much time your promoter gives you, what your management company think and especially the fighters in the division.

    I personally think Riley could, Sheeraz I'm unsure of.......rest I agree.

    Azim and Dalton Smith are in a really tough division. They could end up like Luke Campbell who had much more talent than a lot of other UK world champions but the world champions in his division were just too good.

    Agree, I also think with the younger ones it depends how much they can improve if they stay committed to training and living a life dedicated to the sport. Their are some names on that list I would definitely say No too, but they are young and could greatly improve with the right training/ lifestyle.

    Personally, from that list I would say Whittaker, Adam Azim and possibly Dalton Smith. But a lot can change

    Did you really put Campbell Hatton on a potential world champion list ?

    Aye, couldn't really think of anyone else. There aren't too many great prospects out that that've just turned pro.

    Surely Campbell Hatton and Sheeraz are put there as a joke lol?

    And John Hedges has no power whatsoever. Higher level guys will walk through him. Has a lot of talent apart from that though, maybe could be a very long term project if he can somehow find his 'man strength'

    I was a believer in Dalton Smith but I'm not sure now as he looked poor in his last two fights.

    Whittaker looks mustard but I've a feeling he's chinny - that long thin neck doesn't look like the best shock absorber
