    Best Middleweight Prospect? British Fighters

    Just wondering what y'all thought the best prospect from the middleweight division is...

    Eubank Jr, Saunders, Ryder all up there ... might even give Etches a shout in a few fights time

    Its hard to tell this early but i don't rate any of them that highly-the middles we have now (Murray,Macklin,Barker) are better than they will ever be imo

      I agree with that. I feel Ryder is perhaps the best of the bunch mentioned above mind.

        Potentially, they're better than our current crop. Saunders looks the goods and so does Ryder. Probably our strongest division too.

        Blackwell, Eubank Jr, Aston, Etches - will all achieve a good amount of success too. The best thing is Macklin, Murray & Barker will still be around when these guys come up, so we'll have some great match-ups in store.

        I'd be very surprised if our current crop of prospects don't outshine our current 3 top MWs.

          Saunders and that's it. Not impressed with the others at all.

              I think eubank jr will achieve the most i think hes being bought along well , not sure about bjs I was to start with but I've started to doubt if he will be as good as I thought especially after the Blackwell fight .

                Saunders seems disciplined, in seriously good nick and has settled on a style that works for him. He's got more than a fair bit of talent as well. Did a nice job on that fancied Australian kid recently. Billy Joe is worth watching.

                Not so sure about Eubank 2 or Ryder yet....

                  Sanders seems to lose his way a bit towards the end of his fights. Eubank Jr and Ryder both have a lot of work to do. I personally think our current crop of SMWs is better.
