      I was supporting Kell Brook and played down Spence's chances. Hadn't really seen a lot of him prior. He surprised me though and put up a great showing in Brook's backyard. I'm eager to see him against the other top names at 147.

      Chris Eubank Jr.
      Put on three very good performances against a better standard of opposition in 2017. Has entered the World Boxing Super Series to try and establish himself against the other top fighters in the Super Middleweight division.

      Lewis Ritson
      Put on a dominating display to stop Robbie Barrett and win the British Lightweight title. That is a stacked division domestically and I'm looking forward to some cracking matchups in the near future as he attempts to win the Lonsdale belt outright.
      Josh Taylor put on a much more impressive display against Davies than Ritson did against Barrett. I'm surprised a lot of boxing fans are still sleeping on JT when he's obviously the serious goods. The guys fighting Miguel Vasquez in only his 11th fight ffs. He'd absolutely waste all the UK guys. Nurse, Caterall, Davis Jr, etc. He'd murder the lot of them. Hes almost ready for world level. In fact i'd pick him to beat some of the top 10 super lightweights right now.

        For sure man, best prospect (well not really prospect now) UK have. 2-3 more fights and he'll be challenging for World titles.

          I was a fan of Josh Taylor before 2017.

            Anthony Joshua

            I thought he was a one trick pony but he's much more than that.

              Canelo: Stepped into the same ring with his boogeyman many thought he would never fight. He won the fight in my eyes. 7 rounds to 5 is acceptable. One idiot judge ruined everything with her nonsensical scorecard.

              Ward: Always had faith in him. Won the 1st Kovalev fight by a point & silenced his doubters in the rematch. Those punches were low, though. No denying it.

              Sor Rungvisai: Enough time for him to build a legacy Pacquiao style?

                Spence for sure.

                LSC showed he was more than just a lanky slugger, so I like him more now than before.

                  Canelo lost,

                  Ward won on low blows....and....

                  How are you 'godless' but have faith?

                  You're confused

                      Spence: no brainer.

                      Gervonta Davis: young, exciting, big puncher, exciting, fan favorite.

                      Regis Prograis: young, exciting, popular weight class, about to hit the big time.
