Could Pretty Boy Kelly rise quickly to the top of the welterweight rankings?
The kid has only had Five fights as yet but looks to have the style and ability to go all the way.
Some have compared him to Lomachenko, but he much more like Roy Jones jr, loves that left hook as well.
Still a long way to go though, and maybe won't be challenging for any world titles for a couple more years but he does seem to have the tools to go all the way.
First rate head movement glides around the ring, fast hands and stunning reflexes.
Let's see when he steps up and he meets a fighter that can time all his flashy moves.
Remember when Hamed was clowning everybody with his moves and found out they weren't really working in the Kevin Kelley fight. Hamed made some good adjustments in that fight, boxed smart a bit more and good the job done.
How will Josh Kelly cope when he needs to make some real adjustments? we'll see. I think he'll be ok. He has a very good trainer in Booth who doesn't seem to take shortcuts. I'm sure he'll make sure he's fundamentally sound too.
He looks a real talent though and can probably be moved quickly. Could be a real star if he gets to the top. Entertaining, good looking guy (no homo) and personality doesn't seem too dull either.
He looks real sharp.Fast and tricky on both offense and defense. The other prospects they showed also look very promising.
Dubois is a beast, arguably the biggest puncher in boxing at the moment. He got a lot to work on, but he does have time on his side.
I think Buatsi is a better British Prospect that Yarde though.
Nice headmovement and counters
Ok handspeed and power but not world class IMO
Lets see when he steps up
Yeah, still a long way to go, but he seems to have to the tools to go all the way. But you never now for sure till they get tested.
He's real good.. He might only have 5 fights but he has a seasoned amateur career.. The guy is a Olympian. But he looks like he won't be able to make WW for too much longer. He's young but already too big for welter.. He will outgrow it by the time he's world level.
5 fights!!!! DAMN, he fights like a really good world champion! He does remind me of Roy Jones! Cannot wait to see him break onto the scene! SERIOUS prospect! His multiple hooks take me back to the early Roy Jones days.

Thurman, Spence & Crawford, but could Josh Kelly (PBK) be the Man at Welter? | BoxingScene Community
