    Frankie's the best british prospect in my opinion, others will say billy joe. But i must say i was very impressed with degale the other night. He's still not that natural in the pro game but he was sitting down on his punches more, had good movement and by the looks of things is up for a fight if he gets clipped. Gavin will go all the way and so will Billy Joe probably. However Degale will only get to Euro level in my opinion, but we cant forget that they are all with the white Don King so theyll probably all be world champions, taking the easiest root possible. I Really do ****in hate Frank Warren!

    First time i saw him the other night, i know it's far too early, but let me just nut-hug for one sec!

    On that performance- wow what a skilled technician, i'll be watching him.

    Boxing wise I like Gavin the most - he impresses me the most. I feel he has more than Khan, I just hope someone can tutor him in the right direction like a Freddie Roach.
     
  5. Frankie & billy joe saunders will make the biggest impression. I think de gale will get found out at domestic/european level.but best of luck to all three

    gavin is good but needs more work

    degale has looked ferocious in his last two fights, hardly comparable at all to his first

    saunders is ticking along nicely but is clearly still green

    Frankie Gavin is the best prospect out of the three British olympians. I expect him to be a future top 10 p4p-er

    gavins style is awesome he looks like a slick southpaw Hatton but throws combos in flurries like pacquiao, cant wait to see him develop his craft

    And obviously he isn't going to go that much further with his career at this point because he's already 38 years old.

    Older fighter = less career in front of them
    Older fighter = less physical upside
    Older fighter = less time to improve before quickness starts to decline

    Plus Rogan is a heavyweight, and larger fighters tend to be able to continue to fight older. Age is a lot more than just a number though. There's a reason why younger prospects tend to be better prospects.
