    Nothing better than a boxer stepping up and proving his critics wrong.

    I ain't seen much of Jacobs, but I think he's got talent.

    Interested in seeing who goes further;

    Korobov or Jacobs.

    Macklin and Barker are the British middleweights, but they seem to comfortable in our scene.

        I've got no-one to compare them too.

        They seem solid though.

        Macklin;




        Barker;

            Yea, should be pretty solid.

            I'm more focused on the British prospects though, I just hope a good MW boxer can come out of Britain.

            Can't really see who though?

              lol, im just happy to see upcoming talent in it, the MW division has been dried up recently, we here in america dont have many MW prospects that i know of, except jacobs

                Like I said, our biggest prospects are Barker and Macklin at the moment in the MW division.

                But I seem to take more interest in our prospects than I do to our current top fighters.

                I can't believe Froch holds a belt.

                    I like Ishe but this isnt a good fight for him, Jacobs is all wrong for him, Leon does get his fighters fights, but most of the time they are tough fights.

                      Per Ishe's facebook, he's facing undefeated and super-hot prospect Daniel Jacobs on the undercard of Diaz/Malignaggi on HBO.

                      I know Ishe is despised around these parts, but all his losses were coin-toss decisions and he has some extremely good defense. He'll be moving up in weight and is a clear underdog to Jacobs, but if Smith finally puts it all together (as he did against Wolak), Jacobs is gonna have a rough night.

                      Let the hating begin. Thoughts?
                      This will be a good competitive fight, Smith is a real test for Jacobs.

                      HBO should televise it.
