    Deep down David Haye, Amir Khan, Carl Froch are our only world class fighters.

    And everybody knows this.......

    None of the prospects are good enough in my opinion, including James Degale and George Groves. George Groves is a shittier, Smaller, Slower, malformed version of David Haye.

    And James Degale cannot even throw proper punches.

    "I would say only "Kell Brook" is possibly the best other prospect, by far better than George Groves"

    I think Groves is excellent with a lot of potential, but I have to pick Gavin over him.

    Probably because there are more people that thought Degale won their fight than Groves.

    If Gavin put in half as much work as Groves imagine where he would be.

    If I'm remembering correctly, more people thought Degale won but the fight was so close that you couldn't argue with the result.

    You have no idea how much work either put in. You're simply second guessing.

    I'm certain the majority agreed with a Groves win.

    I scored it a draw, leaning towards Groves win if I had to go with one or the other.

    As young fighter of the year? The performance against Mutley was a lot to be desired and then he didn't dominate Woodhouse. I think Groves has got a good shout over him for this award.

    EDIT - Apologies, I've noticed you were responding to a 'prospect' comment. Doh.
