    Billy Joe is probally the best but I think all will reach a good level.

    Darren Sutherland, Frankie Gavin and as much as I hate to admit it, James Degale!

    The only ones I don't see having some success are Fury and Price because I think you need a punch AND a chin at heavyweight.

    That's not to say they will all make it at the highest level but I think they'll do well.

    I think DeGale and Gavin will fall short.

    I would like to throw Ashley Sexton into the mix. Certainly Flyweight is a week division in Europe, he can deffinatley become european champion

    You think? I reckon from the list Saunders and DeGale. In fact I think DeGale probably has the most potential. Don't get me wrong, he's a **** socket, but he has the skills.

    Gavin too prone to cuts I think.

    Saunders - looking good just now.

    saunders is a definate future star,he looks the most naturally-accomplished.
    degale may just have realised that you have to work hard to earn respect,and looked twice as good this time out,he's a maybe.
    f.gavin and t.jeffries may well be slow burners,providing that they develop a better tactical approach.

    still,great to have plenty to keep an eye on though!

    i'd say european level was 'making it' as a pro.
