Kell Brook Paul Appleby Nathan Cleverly I've seen very little of these 3 prospect so i was wondering what you guys think of them, their styles and how far do you think they will go. Any views would be appreciated. J
Kell Brook - Was supposed to be a Naseem clone, only he settled down and boxed well in his last fight. Seems short for the weight, good jab, pretty quick, power is hard to gauge since McIntyre has a soft jaw. Potential = Euro maybe further depending on how he develops. Appleby - Pretty good all-round fighter, seems strong, and he can box a little but prefers to be the aggressor coming forward. Hot headed and quite easy to tag though. Although he's very young and he's been matched tough I havn't seen any X factor in him that says he's going to be a world star. Potential = Euro. Cleverley - Mainly a boxer, but showed the ability to fight a little or counterpunch when needed. Seems to have a nice variety of punches and overall quite adaptable. Unfortunately he's featherfisted, and he's been rocked in the past by average punches so questions over his chin. Still think he's better suited to super middle baring that in mind, and that his frame is small. Potential = British/Fringe European. Just my opinions.
