    Joshua Buatsi.

    He has it all. Speed, variety in the punches, his movement, the way he stalks his opponent round the ring, he’s so clinical and shot selection is absolutely perfect. He just oozes class. I don’t think there’s many out there at the minute who will go on to world level but this lad definitely will.

    He’s no longer a prospect. He is the real deal.

    Buatsi, Taylor, Kelly, Dubois are the cream of the crop.

    Yep, probably has to be Buatsi.

    Dubois is still 2-3 years away from being able to properly judge IMO, so I wouldn't say him.

    Definitely Buatsi. I think he beats everyone in Britain already.

    I think he will be headlining his own card this time next year.

    I agree m8, unbelievable talent. If he has a good engine over 12 rounds and can take a hard shot over 12 I am going to make a bold claim, i think we are looking at someone in Bautsi who by the end of his career will go down as one of the UKs best 10 fighters of all time.

    You're saying Dubois needs 2-3 years more experience before you can judge him as a prospect?

    Probably a blessing if you look at what’s just happened to Ritson.

    Don't really get this whole attitude, Ritson came up short against a fighter who was experienced and inspired on the night and the defeat won't do Ritson any harm at all in the long run , why not give the young prospects the platform ? It's why they are in the game.

    Dubois (21) and Gorman (22) look very good for their ages.

    Catterall is still only 25.
