    What's your definition of a prospect? Callum Johnson is 33 years old, has had 17 fights, is Commonwealth Champ, and is fighting Artur Beterbiev...

    Needs to get his head down and learn the trade. In a few years he can be moved up gradually and if everything goes well he'll move from 'prospect' to 'contender' before he's even hit 45!

    I was going to say the same, especially if Joyce is classed as a prospect.

    Suppose I should have probably put an age cap on it lol
    I was thinking a prospect is someone who hasn't fought for a world title yet and hasn't been a pro for too many years.

    Joyce is not a prospect and will not win a heavyweight title.

    Hughie Fury at heavyweight is a prospect surely? Still only 23. And maybe Jack Catterall at super-lightweight?

    The running skirt Hughie Fury no longer a prospect as he is already a PPV star on Fat Mick's youareatube TV channel where he fought for a World Title Belt against Paint Dry Parker.

    Unless the belts are taken away from the Champs and given to Charles Martin types, cannot see how Le Skirt stinks his way to a points win against any elite Heavyweight.

    Josh Taylor is probably the greatest prospect and a shocking omission.

    Get Martin Bakole in there as well as Billy super confident about his ability on here and he has worked wonders in the past with a fighter most of us would never believe would become a World Champion.
