    Whyte, Joshua and Hughie Fury are all top HW prospects. Once the Klits retire all three of these guys will be in contention for a world title

    Very raw, 6ft 7 and 250lbs, reminds me of a poor mans tyson fury. he was a decent amateur, boxed for England a couple of times and has sparred with Anthony Joshua, Matt Skelton, Danny Williams and Gary Cornish. He beat Richard Towers as an amateur aswell.

    Cant comment on fury as i havent seen him, but i would argue the opposite for Joshua.

    He shoud be rushed because hes too good to be wasting time at area/british level. If anything he should be rushed through and be gaining experience at Euro/international level.

    Joshua and Hughie Fury, fury has got all the time he needs to develop, I reckon he's got 10 years till his prime.

    Apparently is was early in Joshua's boxing career, and Whyte had already kick-boxed too.

    I'd like to see him step up quickly when he returns from his ban. Fought bums so far.

    No one like Richard Towers?

    Anyone on the verge of turning pro that might be one to watch?

    I hope we see Cornish stepped up soon as he is in danger of getting a padded record of lower level fighters

    Apparently he is a joiner by trade and is'nt in full time boxing training so maybe he just wants to make a bit of cash while he can ?

    Who could we consider the best name on Cornish's record ?

    Unfortunately cornish's records best name would be butlin, cornish even struggled to put him down. Joshua dealt with his easily.

    for me, cornish needs to be nursed just as TG is doing. If he was thrown in with the likes of rogan. Cornish would lose.

    Richard towers on the other hand, really looking forward to the browne fight at the weekend as a good comeback / test. Browne is actually the fav. When towers knocks him out, his ranking will put him right up there.

    Hughie is yet to be tested for me. Until he is, i can't comment...

    I instantly thought after the joshua fight at the weekend that he needs to fight someone ranked way higher and quickly to keep his momentum up. s3xton maybe. I'll be keen to see who ends up on the cards for prizefighter.

    I know he's not from the UK but always thought Mike Perez the Cuban could've done big things anyone know what he's up to.

    Mike Perez is fighting on saturday night GGG card! He's fighting against an undefeated Russian fighter called Magomed Abdusalamov. Not sure what he's like but I've heard he's pretty decent.

    It's a shame Perez is so inactive, looked a real talent.
