    Gavin for me, bit worried about how easily he gets cut though.

    Also I think Billie-Joe will be the biggest disappointment

    Why is that? Do you think he lacks power or he lacks dedication? Or both?...I enjoyed watching him on the weekend but thought he should have got the KO based on the number of clean shots he landed, and unless he gets a better trainer he cannot improve his power...

    It doesn't look to me like his dedication is there. Shame because he looks like he has the tools.

    Not really sure, watched him a few times now and he just doesn't impress me like Gavin and Degale do. He throws lots of punches and is clearly talented but just dont see that bit extra in him required to become top class, could be lack of dedication i'm not sure.

    I also didn't like that headbutt; a fighter of his quality boxing very weak opposition should not have to try that.

    A headbutt is an example of a fighter that is looking for the easy option to end the fight, and is a bit gung ho, and lacking in the belief in his fundamentals from training. Maybe its just he does not believe in his trainer and needs to go to an elite trainer, I would advise a change in trainer...now.:deal

    If he takes the same philosophy towards his training he wont go very far, maybe european level based on his skills at this moment...

    Gavin is the best of the lot and I think Jeffries will do pretty well for himself. Dont think Degale gets European level and BJ Saunders needs to drop down a division.

    Do you see Jeffries going further than DeGale?

    Frankie's an exceptionally gifted fighter, for a a guy at his age and stage of career his boxing IQ is incredible. Dont think the cuts are a concern, none have been by shots only opponents fault or his youthful exuberrence. Just up Mick Williamsons pay and he'l be fine.

    Billy-Joe's style is exciting, he works at an incredible pace id love to see if he can maintain that over longer distances. Suffered with his hand of course so the lack of KO's in last few fights arent a big issue. Is stifling his own work at times, when he gets his guy hurt he doesnt pick his shots at the mo just carries on borrowing forward. But hey, he's 20 come on give the kid some credit. Can see him in good fights down the line.

    Really like Joe Murray too, its a good list tbh. Pricey can bang but his chins questionable, with his natural size he'l give a lot of people problems. Think Jaffa's actually the weaker of the bunch but will get muchos £ along the way
