    Hughie Fury - he has a lot of good attributes, a lot of talent. But his lack of power and lack of strength is his major downfall. He's far too loyal to his father Peter. He really could do with a change. Someone like Sugar Hill Steward who would focus on improving the power

    Joshua Buatsi - seems to be regressing/ not improving. I don't know who trains him but a move to a top trainer like Shane Mcguigan is needed imo.

    Andrew Selby & Fred Evans - two brilliant amateurs withs bags of talent. But not transitioned well to the pros and maybe don't live the life. It's strange also how they've never had deals with top promoters. I wouldn't give up on them doing something in the pros, but I think they need to make changes asap.

    Haney, he`s too reliant on counters a very boring fighter.

    Josh Kelly, hasn't got the power to fight the style Booth has him fighting, that lead hand low, back hand cocked, wide stance, reflex defence and counterpunching style can work very well with big punchers, worked with Haye and Groves because they both had enough single punch power.

    Kelly as he is stepping up in levels is starting to be found out, you need power in that style also as a deterrent, his power won't cut it at world level, he needs a style that suits him and that just doesn't, it all looks very flashy against low level opposition but it will all end in tears and a couple of brutal beatings/KO's.

    Oh and Anthony Yarde, in my opinion Tunde is a joke, a total joke, when your trainer wants to be centre of attention you have a serious problem.

    I am starting to see signs from Yarde that there is something there, I didn't originally think there was, but there is something a very solid trainer can work with.


    Tuned is a chancer, he got lucky, he managed to get in Yardes ear and has stuck to him like a leach, the sooner Yarde sacks him and gets with a Robert McCracken or a Shane McGuigan the better.

    Who do you think would suit Kelly, he's always fought this way and I assumed Booth would have been made for him. He's lacking a few elements to his game if he wants to become world class. I'm not sure who could re-structure Kelly now, and make a positive impact on his style. He's flashy but what is he? He's not a pressure fighter/swarmer, I wouldn't class him bocer-puncher, he's not agreat counter puncher or out-boxer. He's a long way off IMO

    I think Shane McGuigan could refine some things in Buatsi, good choice.
