    Even worse, he will probably just kneecap you now followed by some tar and feathers

    he just beat Postol and is arguably number 1 in his division already.

    How can Bakole be classed as a Uk Prospect? Agit Kabayel is over here sparring Joshua shall we class him as British as well :lol:

    I wouldn’t class Josh Taylor as a prospect anymore, more a contender if anything

    Galahad is a former European champ hardly a prospect.

    Bakole is from Airdrie, maybe living in Nelson Mansion, and is no different to Joshua and Chisora who are also Africano British.

    Agree fighting the number 1 in the division for the title, kind of means you are no longer a prospect. You are full fledged elite at that point even if you have had a stop start career.

    Also once any fighter has fought for a world title they are no longer a "prospect". Even fighting and losing a world title at whatever age, means you have reached a level of seniority which means you can no longer be seen as a prospect.

    Also as you say Jurgen, we already know where Hughie is terms of levels. Somewhere around top 20 below Parker who is at the top half of the top 20.

    I agree and think he will struggle to go much further based on what he has displayed in the ring so far.

    Callum Johnson is fully fledged elite?? Christ almighty!

    I think we have different definitions of elite.

    Johnson has only fought in Commonwealth title fights and one British title fight. Until he steps in the ring with Beterbiev I still see him as a prospect imo.

    Joshua was born in Watford lol and Del Boy came to the Uk in his teens.

    Bakole sounds like he should be selling lollies in club toilets he has no hint of any British accent... he musn't have been here long. Apparently he is 25 wtf he looks way older than that.. looks in his 30s to me. What is it with these African and Cuban boxers always looking older than their age!

    Callum Johnson is 33 years old, has had 17 fights and turned pro 8 years ago.

    Also a British and Commonwealth champ fighting for a world title.

    He is NOT a prospect...

    Has Andrew Selby retired? Saw something on twitter suggesting he's packed it in.
