Which of the UK's "prospects" will be the most successful/failures?

I thought he'd killed that guy the other night, Warren is a sick **** matching him so soft.

 

I assume you mean a shot he took against Blaise Menduo (I had to go back and find it)... I dunno about rocked.

As for stamina, well we don't know, but he has only had 5 pro fights.

I just think about how rubbish Fury looked in his early pro fights, never would have dreamt he'd beat Wlad even at 39, just makes me think if Dubois has got that power, decent size, and puts his mind to it and keeps improving and working on it, dedicating himself, who knows how far he can go?

 

i agree with both points, although i dont think Buatsi will be a failure per se. Buatsi's head movement, or lack thereof really worries me, he eats a lot of shots

 

Josh Kelly & Joe Cordina are the two that have the potential to be future HOF in my opinion, I know it's early but I really like what I've seen from those guys. Josh Taylor has great ability but I think he will find it difficult to land the career defining fights he needs.

Lawrence Okolie is a KO waiting to happen and Conor Benn wont make it past British level. Daniel Dubois hasn't been in enough rounds for me to judge, but he looks huge at only 20 years old, looking forward to seeing him in against another big HW.

 

Hard to say with prospects. I'll enjoy following their progress but I find it difficult to really predict when talented amateur boxers are schooling journeymen having fought at International level in the Ams, so they are doing exactly what they should be.

The reason Taylor is getting a bit more hype now is 1. Stepping up opposition 2. How many facets of his game he's showing in disposing of these guys, he seems to show more elements to his game VS better opposition. That's a good sign.

Can Kelly or Cordina fight inside, how's their defence under educated pressure, do they have sufficient power at higher level? Just for example. British Title level will start to tell us more. I like all of them & feel Fowler gets a raw deal because he's not as flashy. I said same about Froch and was wrong, so I'm giving Fowler time to show what he can do when he moves up.

Buatsi hasn't impressed me so far but it's early and he's Olympic medalist so under more pressure. No big deal. Okolie is raw, not sure how far he'll go. Conor Benn is very young, he'll learn on the job. He might surprise some people. Cheesman etc I haven't seen enough of.

 

Taylor is already close to a world title shot, so has to be him currently. Still shocked at how many were picking Davies to beat him though.

Hard to say with Buatsi, Cordina and Kelly currently but they should all get to in or around world level on paper.

Yarde will probably be Euro level, which is fine. Okolie doesn't impress me in the slightest; he'll get found out soon.

Conor Benn is fighting worse opp than Dubois lol. Dubois won't be world level IMO but he has AM pedigree and is spoken about very highly by Fury and I *think* AJ, which is positive.

 

Rio Ferdinand will go very far, one of the most exciting prospects in the UK right now imho.

 

Eubank Jr. is still British level.

 

He beat Abraham, old or not he is still well above British level.

 

Thing with okolie as well is he's in a non glamour division so once one of these Eastern European cruisers batters him because who ever he loses to won't have a rep with casual fans it will look even worse on his behalf.

 

Taylor and Kelly will be world level. Josh Taylor is a fantastic fighter already. Most of the Warren fighters are garbage, particularly Okolie. Yarde looks roided to the gills.

Dubois has potential to be on the European HW scene with the likes of Whyte/Chisora etc but until he fights someone with a pulse there's no way of knowing for sure.

 

Behave, he's beat Chudinov who's euro level and Abraham who I'd say is fringe world now. Also, had a close fight with BJS when he was still learning in a bout he could have potentially won if he didn't **** around in the first half.

He's gonna smash this Yildrim fella and I'd actually make him second favourite to win the super series. Winner of him and Groves in the semis is taking it imo.
