    Think buatsi will be pushed more quickly now. The burton fight will show where he is on the domestic scene

    Very bold claim mate however I see your thinking. I rate him so highly. His dedication is most impressive, an intelligent man who sets himself on a mission once the bell rings.

    I think it will take a while for people to grow on him, as he is very well mannered but doesn't seek attention, seems that way anyway.

    Looking forward to seeing his career progress.

    I'd be willing to stick Dubois in there still. Johnson was a great learning fight and there's still a few years for him to develop physically and potential to increase his power.

    Ted Cheeseman deserves a mention, also speaking of light heavy's whatever happened to Willy Hutchinson?

    Charlie Edwards is on a good run. Lucien Reid has also been tipped by some and fights this weekend on Frank Warrens bum carasel card.

    12 fights.. Still makes him a prospect regardless how good he is. Your saying he ain't a prospect due to the level he is operating at he is still a novice at the pro game with a lot to still learn

    It is indeed a bold claim and one I don't make lightly. Though i give myself a couple of get outs, regsrding his engine over a hard 12 rounds and his chin. His posture, balance, shot selection and accuracy are truly world class. The other big thing I think will serve him well over hard championship fights is his output as he doesnt waste nothing ! Like you say he let's his boxing do the talking. I can see him and Callum Smith fighting each other in a couple of years or so at LHW and if their careers go the way I think they will, it will be one of the best ever British Match Ups.

    I wouldn't say loma has that much room for improvement, he is pretty much as good as he will get. Taylor will improve a decent bit still, so in that regard he is a prospect add that to the little amount of pro experience he has

    Joe Cordina, my only worry is his lack of power might get him in trouble at world level but he has the skills and composure too make it far.

    I thought Masher gave him a few close rounds when he worked him over inside, if Masher had power he’d have been in trouble. His work on the outside however is quality. He’ll have learnt loads from that fight.
