    Would he be the best SBW prospect out of UK?

    Galahad got skills, defensive minded, switch hitter, does well on the inside, has decent strength in the clinch and is still in his early 20's. Also got that Ingle gym arrogance.

    But he got no power.

    Frampton, Quigg or Galahad? 3 undefeated prospects.

    No. He has **** defense and will get done in sooner or later.

    Who you consider the best prospect at Super Bantamweight?

    Quigg, Frampton, Galahad, Walsh.....Munroe is above prospect level

    Frampton, with Quigg just behind.

    I don't fancy Walsh or Galahad to do much above domestic at all, to be honest. Galahad just gives me the image of an Uzzy Ahmed waiting to happen. His chin is right up in the air, and Walsh.. meh. I'm not impressed (from the little I've seen)

    Frampton I'd put above right now based on form and seeing as Quigg has been through a little adversity, so yeah. Frampton right now.

    You obviousley dont know much about the Ingle style, most of there fighters have there chin up but they get away with it because of there reflexes, Ingle style is based around reflexes, see Kell brook. To say he wont go far becuse he has a chin up style is absurd.

    He would be a clone of Naz , if he had power ofcourse !!!

    He's a confident kid with ability , he wants the big fights at domestic level , to me he's a breath of fresh air , the top 4 in this division right now are real quality fighters , its hard to define a number 1 , based on experience id have to go with Munroe , then maybe Quigg , Galahad then Frampton , but either position from 1 to 4 is interchangable

    I understand this 'ingle style' but I still don't see it with this kid. I don't see guys like Brook, Rhodes, Witter and whoever else put themselves out the way he does. Galahad looks a lot more vulnerable to me.

    He got hit a fair amount in his last fight and with what I see, suggests to me that he is nothing above average and is a knockout waiting to happen.

    :lol: u think Galahad will get uzzied.

    One thing I liked about Galahad, he rolls well with the punches taking the power off them as he rolls his head away, and while he is usually on the back foot, he aint easy to hit clean. I dont think he gonna be another uzzy.

    Galahad got a style that would last long, have a long career

    He looks good in rounds 1-3 in his fights, but from there onwards... Average. My opinion.

    Yes

    A bit like Naz , raw power and reflexes mask lack of fundamental boxing ability

    If Galahad had power he'd be taking out the guys at British level , he's hitting them with no problem , he just doesnt have any real pop to force the stoppages

    Watching him last week the one thing i was impressed with was his concentration. His eyes always open and on his opponent and looking at the shoulders. He does some nice things the lad. The power will come with more intent but he's a tidy fighter he will just need more to his game against more thoughtful fighters.

    I don't see it. Doesn't have the speed, the reflexes, the power, the mentality of anything close to the Prince. If anything, I see a wannabe.

    Anyway, I'm not trying to hate on the kid. I just don't see him as anything special. Let's just see how he develops, eh?

    Me neither , but if he had " raw power " such as Naz for example , i think we'd be seeing more destructive devestating results , a bit like Naz during the early years
