Warren needs to take some risks imo he has no major stars and burns and cleverly just arent up to it. -
I'm excited with some of the prospects we've got at the moment, we have a strong crop coming up. Our talent is spread over a few promoters too, it makes for a competitive scene.

Anthony Joshua is the only potential elite we have imo.Originally posted by Dem Eyes View Post
we have the potential for fun fights but on the world stage he's the only one imo, I'd actually pick him to beat most of our heavies right now and he's not even Pro yetComment

You really have no idea the sort of talent we've got in the pro ranks.
Forget about Joshua for now, we have fighters out there that will be challenging world level in a few years.Comment

I'm sorry but i'm not blinded by patriotism, we are desperate to have world level fighters, so desperate that we push forward B level fighters against World Class operators and are then somehow surprised when they cop a hiding, recent history is littered with it, Froch, Hatton, Haye, Khan, all of them had big bandwagons and all have been shown lacking which I saw coming a mile off, I see the same with virtually all of our prospects now, guys like Degale, Groves, Fury, Price. all have MASSIVE flaws that will be torn to shreds by the true elites.Originally posted by Dem Eyes View PostYou really have no idea the sort of talent we've got in the pro ranks.

To be honest this is why I enjoy fighters like Rendall Munroe, unheralded guys without massive hype who just go out there and do their thing, sure they lose here and there but I dont have to listen to unrealistic fans harp on about them being p4p materialComment

All have shown some sort of promise. Fielding winning Prizefighter, Skeete & Foot were good amateurs. White has an ongoing rivalry with Anthony Joshua.Comment

Way too early to talk about Anthony Joshua, hopefully he turns after the Olympics.
Selby's been sparring at the Mayweather gym against the likes of Gamboa.
Ryan Aston has sparred Proksa.
Stubbs was a top level amateur who won the senior ABA title at light-flyweight for three years in a row between 2008 and 2011.
I'm hopeful for the future with some of the fighters we've got in the professional ranks and in the amateurs. Have you seen how well we've done for Olympic qualification?Comment

Yeah the olympics are going to be very interesting this year as far as the boxing goes anyway, chance to really make a name for themselves being at home too, whats the situation with Robert McCracken at the moment I know at one point they were trying to off him which was a bad move imoOriginally posted by Dem Eyes View PostComment
