    There's a lot of undefeated guys coming up the rankings at welterweight it's gonna be interesting to see them face off against each other.

    Josh Kelly 10-0-1 (6), age 26
    Michael McKinson 18- 0 (2), age 26
    Lewis Crocker 12-0 (7), age 23
    Conor Benn 16-0 (11), age 24
    Ekow Essuman 14-0 (5), age 31
    Chris Kongo 12-0 (7), age 27
    Jack Rafferty 12-0 (7), age 25
    Joe Laws 9-0 (5), age 25
    Martin Harkin 13-0 (5), age 28
    Danny Ball 9-0-1 (4), age 24

    Who's got the most potential to go the furthest?

    Michael Mckinson vs Martin Harkin is a good match up on next week on a MTK card. Jack Rafferty is that bill too.

    I think I agree with you . Should be some good British title/ European title fights with these though. Im gonna gonna watch Harkin vs Mckinson and Rafferty at the weekend.

    Pat Mccormack when he turns pro next year will go past all these lot very quickly.

    With josh Kelly he thinks he is better than he is or he comes across like that and the fight he drew (cant think name american fighter) he looked out ideas and doesn't have power that weight. Cant see him past euro level but all about opionons

    I just wanna see Joe Laws again tbh. A real character who will no doubt be a world champion judging by his last showing.

    I like Jack rafferty. I've seen him live a few times and I rate him but he hasn't really been in with anyone serious yet. He's certainly one to watch. Kelly is pr0bavly the best put of that list but I don't think he'll go all the way, he's sort of stuck between styles is Kelly.

    I cannot seem most of them passing domestic level, but for Kelly and Kongo, which will be Euro level in my eyes.

    If kelly beats avanysan then he’s definitely the best of the bunch.

    mckinson is solid at British level but only 2 stoppages in 20 fights he won’t do much at Euro/world level unless a belt gets vacated

    Let’s see what Kelly does against Avenasayan. That could propel him to the big time. Or not.

    Potential is not always realised, but most potential by a mile here is Josh Kelly.

    Kelly for sure. But Benns stock has gone up after his good ( but nothing special) performance. Marku is based here so he could be included.

    I was also very impressed with 19 year old Micky Burke Jr a couple of weeks ago, hes definitely one to watch.
