    After seeing all the criticism theyve been under i just wondered if anyone thought we have any genuine world class prospects atall?

    The one ive not see hammered is frankie gavin to be honest.

    So who we got.....

    In the UK I have to agree with ^^^ Cleverley

    Kell Brook seems to be a genuine prospect

    froch is a warrior and amir khan is a brilliant "boxer", both current world champions and expect both to do well in the future, khan obviously has age and youth on his side

    I agree with Cleverley and Brook and if Henessey gets his arse into gear and gets his career moving forward i think he has a very slick operator in Darren Barker.

    Kell Brook Nathan Cleverly look pretty good I have a feeling DeGale will be ok but by far the stand out prospect for me is Groves I really think he could be special.

    Barker gets forgotten a lot I think him v Paul Smith should happen soon.

    i like groves also.... definately one to watch and hovering just out of the hype that surrounds the olympians will help his development IMO. Just like Calzaghe not going to the olympics may help him

    Billy Joe Saunders, Frankie Gavin, Kell Brook, Nathan Cleverly, Kevin Mitchell and Ricky Burns. All potential world champs.

    at the moment i don't see anyone who'll do much at world level, however it IS just to early to tell with most prospects right now

    Groves is the best prospect IMO but we still need to find about things like chin, heart, durability etc.
