    At British level I think Kelly, Barrett and Ritson will be at world level by the end of 2018 and i think all can go on to be world champions. I think Taylor is very much world level already.

    Ye i would agree, taylor is world lvl already. If he can pick up a strap tho, it would be so much better.
    Flanaghan is supposedly fighting hooker for the wbo. Do you think taylor beats flanaghan?
    Im not sold on kelly. Hes a confidence fighter and them type of fighters arnt my cup of tea. His defence is poor but he does have skills, i must agree

    Think Taylor would beat Flanagan at LWW. Think his variety would win it. But be a hard night. Cracking fight. I hope Flanaghan gets some pay days as he hasn't so far.

    I actually think Zelfa Barrett is the best prospect out of all the BT fighters. Think the boy needs promoted correctly as he's a cracking boxer.

    If ward vacates which I'm sure he will has he won European title I'm pretty sure the board will order it again. Bowen is mandatory already and Barrett is English champ. Fight makes sense and Bowen team very vocal on Twitter saying they wanted it for English b4
