    Depends what you consider a "world" title. I don't see any prospects winning one of the three proper belts if thats what you mean.

    Amir Khan will win some kind of version of a World title even if he has to move to light welter and fight for a WBF belt.

    I really like Darren Barker and can see him going far in his career, he is certainly the best middleweight prospect we have had in quite some time and my outside bet for a belt.


    The rest of the guys on that list will be lucky to get a Euro belt and only Appleby and Murray are serious contenders for that.

    Lee McAllister will be a 3-weight world champion soon.

    If Appleby learns the art of defence I see him going a long way, I suppose Rendall is a bit old to be considered a prospect but he has an outside chance.

    from what i've seen of them, cleverly, smith and duddy are the least likely world champs from that list.

    i'm sure khan will pick up some kind of vacant title. appleby maybe has the best chance of winning a world title by beating a titleholder. most of the fighters on that list could win a euro belt.

    khans got a better chance to get any world title out there in lightweight within two years if his still at 135

    murray might get the WBU or WBF

    nah. warren will have chosen him as a khan opponent long before then.

    "Amir Khan Vs the 3 weight world champion The Assassin Lee McAllister!"

    this will seal khan's status as the greatest (bolton) boxer ever.

    Abner Mares.........okay he's not British but neither is Duddy.

    Appleby is the pick of the actual British fighters for me, still quite raw but he's young enough to get that fixed over time. If he can tighten up his defence he could go a very long way.


    Barker would be there aswell if only he had some small amount of power. The guy is incredibly feather fisted but still manages a good few stoppages at the moment because of how much he outclasses his opponents. With power he'd be something special, as it is he'll find it tough to keep the stronger guys off him and I think he'll fall just short.

    Not one of them will win a meaningful title IMO
