    He impressed me in prizefighter, hes only young and is a quality talent.. he beat Eggington in the final.. yet Eggington got a deal with Hearn after that.. and Coyle has been forgotten about..

    Im sure Hearn was talking about signing him after prizefighter but he never did..... Why did he not sign him?? I'm really surprised not even fish eyes has snapped him up. He's a light welterweight now... and I can't see any british light welter touching him its a weak division domestically.

    Jack Catterall is very good, other than him it is very weak at the minute.

    It is very weak yeah. Catterall bored me to sleep in his last fight..a bit like your posts do.:lol: I think Johnny Coyle is better than Catterall. Robbie Davies Jnr is pretty good too.

    Coyle looked nice & tidy in the Prizefighter, has gone away and done ok on the quiet... He's just picked up the WBC flip flop youth title against AJ Faizy (the Afghan novice who is entertaining if limited)

    As for the talk of Catterall - Coyle, let's be realistic - Jack has made light work of his previous & has to be fair boxed at a more consistently higher level than Johnny.

    So for me, Jack is the pick..

    Both lose to Catterall imo at this stage. I don't see much upside in Davies Jnr.

    Coyle is good but there's no way he beats Catterall. Catterall has the ability to win a world title imo.

    Says the guy..... Who said Waleed Din was was one of our best prospects!!!!!!! Din just lost to some Afrobum novice in typical ****stani glass jawed fashion.

    And you also constantly call Mitchell Smith a bum. Mitchell just won the young British fighter of the year award...

    I suggest you keep your tips/predictions to yourself as they are painfully bad lol

    Din will still be a quality fighter. Watched him fight up close a few times in the amateurs and he definitely has potential.

    I never said Smith was a bum I just think he's madly overrated.

    did you see his fight last week, no chin whatsoever... aint looking good if youve only had few fights and your hitting the canvas that regular and losing to some Afro novice.

    You constantly try to drum it into people that Smith aint up to to much.. But he's a top 5 prospect in the UK.. He's much much better than Din thats for sure :lol:

    Ryan Burnett, Luke campbell, Anthony Joshua, Callum smith... I can't think of anyone but these guys that are better prospects than him......

    I think I'd rather listen to someone like Frank ****** or Barry Jones' opinion on hims than yours.
