    Trust me I gave these guys a try and the whole euro system is a sham, thats why I respect the Easter-Europeans ; they come to the great U.S.A the home of real world level boxing.
    I see what your saying bro, but I enjoy boxing not just for the world class fighters.

    I enjoy the spectacle, the hype, the passion, and the overall excitement boxing provides.

    Hey everyone can’t be world class and I have respect for anyone brave enough to give it a go, and the country that has the most passion for the sport is without a doubt imo is England.

      Kelly is way more overrated IMO. Dances around a few bums and they already have him champ at 147. Not a ****ing chance.

      Dubois's the only one who impressed me so far.

        I think Taylor if we are counting Taylor. I kinda think he's more a player in the division now based on some of his recent W's + the fact that 140 opened up a lot when Crawford left. So personally I see him as more contender now than a prospect.

        That being the case for me I'm still undecided on the top up & coming UK guy now. I keep hearing people hype Kelly, but I've not seen enough of him to have THAT much confidence in him yet, but he could be that guy.

        Dubois is obviously a potential huge money maker one day, but he still feels very raw at this early stage of his career so while I see the dollar signs with him he's not shown me anything other then he can KO the guys he's supposed to be KOing as is the plan for most notable HW prospects at this stage.
