    I've heard about this guy(18-0-11KO, 22 yo) in the past. Recently I saw a video of him on the internet of his last fight, and I must tell you, I am impressed! What a jab this guy has, one of the best I've seen since Lennox Lewis. It is so powerful, that he doesn't even need to utilize his defense much. And what a right hand! He can knock out any opponent with either hand. In his last fight against Kevin McIntyre, he won the British welterweight title in the very 1st round. His next fight is tomorrow against Stuart Elwell in London. Looks like a star in the making.:bbb

    good to know, Berto aside, the WW's could use another new face to shake things up, hope what you say is true, i'll have to see for myself though, he got any fights on the net?

    He is fighting tomorrow on Friday Fight Night, against an over-matched opponent.

    The kid has bundles of talent, but other than McIntyre and perhaps Barrie Jones, has been protected and hasn't beaten anyone of note.

    He seems grounded though, and is looking for a European title fight this year.

    Don't expect to see him Stateside though, he is with Warren. For me, this is where Britain is sadly lacking. We rarely, if ever these days, send fighters to the US (or even Germany) to box on undercards and gain experience.

    Stupid really.

    Khan gets so much attention, yet, nobody on ESB hardly talks about him. Yeah, it may be early, but, I see potential in him.

    I think he could beat Andre Berto now. The only difference between them is HBO kisses Berto's ass and bought him a title shot.

    I've heard there are some questions about Brook's chin as well. Anyone know if that's actually the case?

    Hmmm......

    He was decked not so long since, but his defence has greatly improved.

    Don't get me wrong, he is hardly titanium, but it's not a major concern at this stage I wouldn't say.

    way more talent than mr khan and i think he'll hav a better career cause he wont be rushed. the main difference between them is that khan had all the hype before he even tuned pro where as kell had to earn the hype he is now receiving.

    but i still think paul appleby is a better prospect than both

    He's a European level fighter at very best in boxing's most stacked division.

    Lets be real.
