    Ted Cheeseman (maybe his most recent win over Carson Jones?)
    Josh Taylor vs Davies and Miguel Vazquez who taylor was the first to stop..
    Josh Kelly is good just to watch for the style man.. people need to stop hating the guy is a fresh
    Ryan Burnett vs Haskins/Zhakiyanov
    Buatsi is really good/ Joe cordina is okay
    Callum Johnson vs buglioni
    Yafai vs Ishida
    Ritson vs Cardle
    STRONGLY recommend you watch Katie Taylor.. all of her fights are good..

    Its easy to find out more about certain boxers by looking at Frank Warren's stable of fighters or Eddie Hearns via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchroom_Sport
    Good looking out bro!

    yeah I just can’t bring myself to watch women’s boxing, no offense to Taylor because I hear she is the goods.

      I was just informed about Josh Kelly in a post from another member today and he looks to be the leader of the pack with his special skill, amateur background, promoter and looks.

      But my personal favorite is Anthony Yarde who is very inexperienced but to me has that “it” factor as does Kelly but I like guys who can punch, and with all of Kelly’s ability it seems he is lacking that proper power in his gloves.

      So who do you think is the best of The UK prospects?
      Josh Taylor has a higher ceiling than Josh Kelly IMO, kid has real elite level talent to my eye. I like Yarde but he gets hit too much - he'll need to improve a lot to hang with the top LHWs. Buatsi 's another one to watch.

        Buatsi will struggle when he comes across a pure boxer, but you all said the best Brit prospect... Buatsi was born in Ghana and last I checked that ain't Britain.

          I think its cordona that kid got great footwork and everthing else(except chin.heart has not been tested).I think Tayler is already a contender.And there is a lot of good prospects now over there Kelly to name one but Cordona has really impressed me the couple times ive seen him.

            Who did he fight in the Olympics for? I really don't see why you think Buatsi will struggle, he got an Olympics Bronze which is more than anyone else did at the Olympics out of the current light heavyweight champions/contenders. Buatsi has all the attributes to dominate at light-heavy.

              Don't forget that he was completely neutralised in the semi-finals of the Olympics by a mover

              For the record Gvozdyk also got an Olympic bronze

                Yeah just finished watching Josh Taylor, the kid looks to be the goods.

                He is an entertaining fighter, with a passionate fan base.

                Looks to me the best UK prospect.

                But I wish him luck with his management, hope he doesn’t get robbed

                  What do some of you Brits think of J Cordona he REALLY impresses me.Think he is best of a very good crop.BTW I consider Tayler a contender already.

                      Unless he turns out to be a "little light on left side"cant see him not becoming champ.Or have a bad chin/desire.
