    Looking forward, I'd have to say we are in quite a good position for the next few years prospect wise, throughout most of the weights.

    Wondering whose on your lot's lists to do what..mine is as follows

    World honours -

    Callum smith
    Chris Eubank jr
    Luke Campbell
    Lee selby
    Kid Galahad
    George groves (still a prospect,only young & -20 fights)

    European / possible world

    Billy joe saunders
    Jazza dickens
    Ant Joshua
    Frank buglioni
    Josh Warrington...
    Terry Flanagan

    I think Joshua will become. World champ
    Callum Smith will be a two weight multiple world champ
    Christ Eubank I think will be fringe world class, outside hance of world title.
    Houghie Fury I think will be European class at best
    Hafar, as in a division with a lack of depth has a real chance of world title.
    I like ajenkins but think he won't get beyond European class

    Don't think like Campbell will just don't think has enough power and he's not youngest ether Joshua could if wait till klitscho goes groves possibly Callum smith should go on to big things

    The best prospect has to be callum smith.
    A.joshua is also a good bet.
    Id like to say eubank jnr as well but until we see him against a competative opponent we wont know. It doesnt mean much when the opponent is nothing more than a heavy bag and thats all weve seen from him so far.
    Lee selby is getting closer to lifting a world title but for me selby hasnt fought well for the past couple of fights but id like to see him win one.

    Selby will fall short of a 'proper' world title if he carries on his current trajectory.
    Would like to see Eubank Jr go on to world honours,Callum Smith and Groves 'should' win a title I think.

    What about Shane Mosley Jr. ? Can he become JCC Jr, ? Or Ronald Hearns Jr. ?

    Which do you see him becoming ?

    Joshua vs Wilder:

    This would be a stoppage due to lack of skill from both fighters ....

    I like Gullerme Rigondeaux. Although he's 30 we haven't seen him fight out side of Donaire and 2 others on that level. somebody needs to step up and fight this guy..
