      He's solid and well schooled but I don't see as much talent there as the McCormack brothers (and Pat is a level above Luke also imo)

        Going to have to check these really only know of Butaev. I believe he's pulled out of the wbss? I heavily favoured him to win that too that would of been great for his career.

          He was supposed to take part in that WBC tournament promoted by Evander Holyfield but got injured. When he signed up I thought it might have been too soon for him but after having watched it I think he could have beaten any of them even at this early point of his career, so yeah it's a shame he missed that opportunity

              True, and he's 29 with a good amateur background, just like Taylor. I don't consider either prospects any more, proven amateurs and 10/10+ fights , already fighting at world level....

              I tried to pick younger guys with a handful of fights, apart from Yarde, but he doesn't have the amateur background and is still very much a prospect.

                  Alexey Egorov

                  It's ain't gonna pretend it's a particularly well researched list - ain't got the time to keep up with the upcoming prospects any more so it's basically some fairly well known ams who've have turned pro and I think might have have what it takes.

                      Check out this young guy Lee McGregor, he trains with Josh Taylor. 21 years old, 5,7 1/2" at bantamweight. Won't be surprised if he wins titles at 118, 122, 126, 130, 135 and 140
