    A couple I have started following a bit with huge talent but more importantly (IMO). fan friendly styles

    Leon Woodstock - Huge SFW that will move through the weights. Some say he has a touch of Eubank Jr in him. TBH he has the flair and probably better fundamentals. Has decent pop but his most world class attributes are speed and combination punching

    Zak Chelli- 6ft1 pencil thin 19yo SMW, but has ape like man strength and hits like a truck. He is not a guy who relies on fundamentals, he is a seek and destroy character. Chelli is said to have held his own in sparring against the likes of CEJ, Degale and Groves. Groves rates him as the future of 168! He is a raw physical talent that can make huge waves in the near future

    Why do you have The Special One as your avatar? Did you lose a bet ?

    On topic - what about Ohara Davies?

    I like Dubois too, and Yarde

    Amateurs I'd say we have some great prospects in Ben Whittaker, Dalton Smith, McCormack twins, Shakiel Thompson, Joshua Buatsi, Callum French

    Pros I think Josh Kelly has looked good but don't like his defence, get a caught too often to box like it. Then we have Andrew Selby, Dubois, I'd say even Hughie Fury since he's so young

    Definitely Dubois is their new HW prospect. He will be hyped as a huge rival of AJ in the next years.

    I have seen Isaac Chamberlain a couple of times and been impressed so far. His win over Wadi Camacho with a shoulder dislocation early on was very good to watch. He is a light heavy and with matchroom currently.

    Dubois and O'hara Davies. Yarde is a great prospect but wasting himself with Frank Warren. Josh Kelly is not impressive at all so far; he's pushing that persona too far its annoying. He doesn't seem to be carrying a lot of power and seems to be taking more punches than he really should be from current opposition.

    Anthony Yarde really stands out as a future world champ in the making.
