  1. I havnt followed boxing in depth for a long time,and so was wondering is our current crop the standard or is our bunch of prospects a bit special

    The real deal or well promoted

    Lee selby
    Gary buckland
    Kevin satchell
    Paul butler
    Kal yafai
    Callum smith
    Mitchell smith

    Too name just a few,we have a large number of promising talents is this normal?

    Hughie Fury is also one in my opinion.

    Butler and Selby I'm already sold on, Yafai I think will go very far too.
     
  4. Hope yafai's bicept injury heals ok else he won't be throwing them hooks to the body with confidence

    Callum Smith looks good as well
    Mitchell smith seems to have something about him

    Selby and Yafai are the stand out prospects for me. I think both will be world title level, and as good as some others are, I'm only convinced about those two.

    I personally think once you have won a domestic title you can't be called a prospect anymore.

    Smith & Yafai stand out for me.
     
  7. Selby is good , and will be great once that defence is sorted out

    I like Bradley Saunders, Eubank Jr and Joe Selkirk as future British title winners at least.

    Kicking on, Groves and Frampton to take the next world titles.

    Lee Selby
    Paul Butler
    Kal Yafai
    Frankie Gavin
    Callum Smith
    Mitchell Smith
    Billy Joe Saunders
    Hughie Fury
    Terry Flannigan
    John Ryder
     
  10. Bradley Saunders is great shout,taking to the pros like a dream

    Everyone slatted me for thinking wazza had good bunch
    M smith
    Buglioni
    Saunders
    Butler
    Joe murray
    L smith

    Good little crew

    Prospect for me is 15 fights or under,because after that you should be being matched tougher
     
  11. Forgot ryder
     
  12. Mugsy

    Mugsy Guest

    The Scottish guy Prince Naseem used to manage

    Hes getting ****ed around due to inactivity hes supposed to fight again soon though and hes pretty good.
     
  13. Callum Johnson you mean,he has been out nearly permanent recently

    Now franks lost his Scottish headliner he won't get as many opportunities,he desperately needs a different promoter
     
  14. People getting a little too excited about Hugh fury for me

    Yeah he has a lovely relaxed style and great pedigree but we havnt seen him break sweat yet
