Who’s the best UK prospect?

[mlac]

Josh Taylor. if Scotland voted yes for independence then Josh kelly or Dubois. Lewis ritson is not the most talented but he is definitely one to watch, going to be a fun ride to watch that guys career develop.

Not familiar Cordina, what weight class?

Lightweight. He's having a bit of a step up on the Joshua undercard this weekend (was supposed to be a better fight but there was a late cancellation by the looks of it). I consider him probably the 4th best from the British team that went to Rio (after Joyce, Buatsi and McCormack) although he didn't have a great tournament in the end

Bro don't even waste your time following them, most of these Brits wont even make it to euro-level and IF they ever do, they end up fighting local bums getting hyped by SKY, Boxnation, channel five, Dave, BTSport etc....then after years of following these bums you realize that you wasted your time watching euro-level boxing!

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.

Don't you watch fights for entertainment? Regardless of level? Anyway Cheese man is a real good prospect. Seemed pretty skilled 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.

Yeah I would go with Taylor as well, he isn't as flashy as the others, but really sound fighter who I feel will improve a lot and as he goes up in level.

Kelly is obviously extremely flashy, but my gut tells me he is missing some attributes to take that style all the way to world level. People are comparing him to Hamed already, but in reality Hamed was knocking people dead at that level and no one was able to lay a glove on him. Kelly doesn't have that kind of explosiveness, and he has some big defensive lapses. Don't want to sound like I'm being too hard on the kid, but for now I'll reserve judgment.

Nah bruh, if I thought like that I would watch MMA.

I wished I had the stomach to watch such crap. Enjoy.

Hahaha, thanks bro.

Yeah when I was a kid I loved watching the WWF until I found out it was fake, so I guess I am a sucker for the spectacle.

When he's not taking the Alabama slamma 1hourbum is hating on the British boxing scene.

Taylor looks to be the best at the moment, albeit that he's really already a fringe contender and rising in my book.

Kelly's very skilled, Cheeseman has the physical abilities and raw talent but looks like he might need to skill up a level before reaching world class.

Yarde - who knows what'll happen, but it'll be fun, as will Reece Bellotti and Joe Pigford (if he gets his act together).

Not sold on Buatsi yet, I was very excited when he turned pro, but he's left me a bit confused after his first few fights.

Dubois might be another Wilder, might be better. Okolie might do well as well, but not at heavy.

[Holler]

Buatsi, Kelly and Taylor as many others have said.

I hope Dubois, but he's probably further away. Hope he makes it as he seems like a decent guy.

[TommyParker]

Never seen him fight,

Trust Josh Taylor is the real deal and the closets to world-class/world champion out of anyone right now.. that's not to discredit others.. people like to hate for no reason.. but I can tell you like the sweet science.. so check some of these out

Ted Cheeseman (maybe his most recent win over Carson Jones?)
Josh Taylor vs Davies and Miguel Vazquez who taylor was the first to stop..
