    James Degale, Tony Jeffries, Darren Sutherland & George Groves.

    Will any of them suceed?
    Will it be a repeat of Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins?
    Is there a new Calzaghe?
    Will any be better than Froch?
    Who will lose first?

    I like Jeffries and Sutherland but still a way to call their futures being Eubank/Benn-like...

    Sutherland is by far the best. Can't remember Groves. DeGale has the talent but ALOT of work to do. Jeffries is so so but then again so was Collins until we found how tough, tenacious he was etc

    That is the beauty of the pros. You can be quite average but have certain qualities that take you very far. Sutherland is a talent and tools. DeGale is talent. Jeffries I think will mainly be intangiables.

    I was not impressed bu Sutherland at the Olympics or since has has turned pro. Seems to be a crude brawler.

    a crude brawler,his shot selection was amazing tonight,his jab is impeccable,thrown with alot of snap and really sets his work up well, he fights like a guy with 15 fights rather than 2!

    Damn right:good

    I missed a lot of the Jeffries fight, so I can't comment so much on that fight, but Sutherland seemed to be the only Olympian who punched off the back foot, and he looked comfortable doing it.

    He has really impressed me a lot.

    Sutherland has trates of Miguel Cotto. I saw his first fight, and i just liked the body punching and his ram rod Jab.

    Seems bad..!

    I was impressed with Sutherland last night, glad I stayed after the main event to watch it.

    Most of the undercard was seriously lame though - there was a kid from Rotherham who literally ran for the full six rounds.

    groves looked good in the one fight i've seen him in, but sutherland is by far the best of the 4.

    i missed the jeffries fight so can't comment on him, and degale is well....degale.

    Darren Sutherlands age is going to be a huge factor weiging on his career he's going to have to be moved fast if he's wanting to go places

    Imo Kenny Anderson is the best out the bunch, he's bigger, stonger and also very skilled which he is not often given credit for and regared as just a big puncher. Stevie Mcguire has pulled out of fighting him and vacated his Celtic title, Anderson will now face Nathan King for the vacant belt, i would very much fancy his chances against, Mcgee or Dodson for the British in his next fight.
