    Campbell, Stalker, Ogogo, Joshua turned pro

    Selby, Taylor, and olympic silver medalist Evans stayed amateur

    and from the NI Conlan and Barned have stayed amateur

    did anyone else notice this? is this just coincidence or do the English boxers get better opportunities than the Welsh and Scottish, and northern ireland ones

    I think Hearn and ****** should be signing the northern ireland and wales boxers, as there is so much talent coming from those 2 countries, for their populations it's unbelievable how good they are at boxing, they are always producing top fighters.

    Evans was fighting as a middleweight when he is a weleterweight when he got KO'd by the very good Ukranian Mytrofanov, no shame there,.
    Evans had a great olympics and has a lot of talent.

    Selby I think could be the future p4p number 1 in UK right up there with the Calzaghe's and Froch's, he's much better than his brother Lee, immense A level talent
