    Kevin Satchell - good to watch and has a crazy weird jab that destroys fighters.

    Neil Hepper - Loves a war and has good style to.

    Shafiq Asif - Different gravy and will get European Belt atleast.

    Ian Lewison - If he can get in decent shape and thats big if he looks like a more than decent heavyweight

    John Ryder - Skillful and powerful with a style that will take him to the top.

    George Groves - powerful and good to watch but you know he has a vulnerability still.

    Charlie Rice - very skillful and will be interesting to see how Helliett takes him on from now.

    Denton Vassell - a beast for the weight who keeps going forward.

    Ovill Mckenzie - best 3round fighter in the world - after that not so much.

    Liam Hanrahan - sells tickets and you can see why.

    Frampton: Special talent
    Yafai: Will go far fairly quickly in his division
    Buglioni: Good fan base, looking forward to seeing him step up
    Bradley Saunders: Solid looking and tidy
    Mitchell Smith: Heavy handed and really eager
    Eubank Jr: Intriguing and confident, pressure on him
    Dillian Whyte: Best heavyweight prospect

    No one else really catches my eye in terms of prospects.

    Out of the ones not already fringe world class,the Selby brothers.The amateur one to catch up the other when and if.Yafai-for me already been matched nicely and doing really well.Satchell,wants the big ones and boxes well.Wish Joe Joyce would go pro and build on his Wsb success.Im sure he can do very nicely in todays heavyweight division,wish Hearn would sign him.Big Josh?????

    Suprised more people havnt mentioned satchell, the kids smashed up all the best guys at the weight in Britain and hes only had 10 fights. He needs to box at range a bit more often as he moves up through the levels but he should win a european title at the end of the year and could go on to a world title in 2014.

    Grooves,
    De Geale
    Eubank
    Galahad
    Selby
    Brook
    Bellew
    Fury
    Frampton
    Quigg

    I think there is 2 or 3 future title holders in that list at least.

    I like the look of Jumah good fighter and seems to have a good head on his shoulders, be good for him being with the Sauerlands as well. Fowler is a good shout as well, hes still only 21 and has won loads at amateur and actually has a style which will be more suited to the pros imo. Great chin, great power and excellent technical skills

    Selby has got deadly potential. His fight with Michael Conlon in the WSB was the best fight I've seen in that series

    I mention Neil Perkins quite a lot on threads like this, he is an interesting fighter.

    Needs to fight more regularly though.

    Think he stopped for about 3-4 years.

    3-0 now, only fought on the Price undercards so far, needs to get more fights because that obviously isn't often enough for a 33 year old.

    He got beat by Burton in the ABAs in 2010, that would be an interesting rematch.

    Yeh, I dont really get the hype with Burton he was a good amateur but hasn't really delivered as a pro so far imo. He looked awful the other night against the late replacement for Dilks, if it had of been Dilks in there I reckon Burton would have lost.
