    I think all 3 are very talented, and I believe that Callum Smith, and Antony Joshua will be special World champions. I think Campbell will fall just short and might only make European/Fringe World Class level. What level do you these guys will reach?

    All work for Eddie so will get to a mandatory.

    Smith gets blasted out anywhere near world level.

    Joshua has got a chance but really only because the talent pool is so shallow.

    Campbell is in a tough division.

    peace.

    All three will be in world title fights in the next 3/4 years, whether they get wins in them is another thing

    AJ has a good chance, If he works on that jab he will be a world champion and Wlad would have retired by then as well

    All three so far so good.

    Joshua has done all that can be expected, he now needs a few rounds in him.

    Smith is coming to stage of his career where he needs a calculated risk, a test I think he will pass.

    Campbell looks impressive so far, but you cannot even put a decent guess on how far he can go with his pro record at the moment.

    Mundo and AJ have good chances of going all the way. Luke is feather-fisted so will struggle.

    To early to tell with any of them imo. It does look like we'll find out a lot sooner than with someone like kell brook though. No need for 30 odd fights before fighting live bodies.

    Joshus will atleast hold a version of a world title
    Hard to say with Smith
    Cant see cambell getting to world level, not much power and amatuer style

    Smith and Joshua to get to the top, Campbell to fall just short at contender level.

    A bit too early to say for me. Callum had a big step up at the weekend and did well. A lot of people are saying he should have got the stoppage, but what they need to remember is it was only his 11th fight and that he's just turned 24, so he's still no developed his full man strength yet. Callum will only get better and stronger IMO.
    Anthony Joshua looks the part and it's going to be very exciting watching him in with better opposition.
    I've not seen much of Luke Campbell tbh, but he's obviously a top talent after all you don't hand Olympic Gold Medals out for nothing.

    Joshua im not decided on as hes not taken a shot flush yet , ill decide after i see that but could possibly go the full way, Callum Smith defo a World Contender within 2 years , luke Campbell no better than european level buy within a year may beat a fledging ricky burns if he sticks at lightweight

    Its hard to say at such an early stage for any.

    I remember thinking Joshua looked troubled in the Olympic final and am not sure how it will go when/if he takes on a big puncher. He seems to have a big punch and talent. Moves well for his size.

    Smith, I am just not sure of at all. I wish him well, but havent understood all of the hype I have read as of yet. I have never looked at him and felt he was going to/near the top, like I did when I watched Froch, Groves and DeGale early in their careers. Cant explain what it is, but I am not expecting him to go far above British level, but wish him well.

    Campbell. I think there will be more to come as he goes on. I dont know if he will be physically strong when in with top fighters, but think he will be able to use skills to go places. To the top? Dont know, but as with all the others above, wish him well.

    to sum it up, Would like to see all go to the top, but too early to really say. I think Joshua will go the furthest and think he may get to the top

    Smith, as well as Fielding, will be the greatest SMW's in history.
