Let's assume that by "Prospect", we mean less than 20 fights or hasn't reached World level yet. On that basis, I wouldn't class Josh Taylor or Andrew Selby as prospects. Here is my list:

01.) Daniel Dubois, 6-0 (6 KO)
02.) Anthony Yarde, 14-0 (13 KO)
03.) Jack Catterall, 19-0 (10 KO)
04.) Ted Cheeseman, 12-0 (8 KO)
05.) Josh Kelly, 5-0 (4 KO)
06.) Leon Woodstock, 10-0 (5 KO)
07.) Lewis Ritson, 13-0 (7 KO)
08.) Isaac Chamberlain, 9-0 (4 KO)
09.) Zach Parker, 14-0 (10 KO)
10.) Joe Joyce, 1-0 (1 KO)

Surprised you have Catterall under Yarde and Dubois.

Surprised you have Catterall under Yarde and Dubois.

A fair point. Jack Catterall certainly has the more developed resume at the minute, and it's crazy to think he's still only 24. I'm expecting Daniel Dubois to be a player on the World stage. And I'm not talking the Audley Harrison, or David Price kind of player. Anthony Yarde has looked flawless so far too. I'd say they're interchangeable on the list but all three are top prospects.

Josh Taylor isn't a prospect anymore in my eyes. That Vazquez W, & not just W, a stoppage, gets him in the world class category for me which for me means he's a top 10, top 15 guy. If you wanna call him a fringe contender over a legit contender fair play, but I got no dog in that fight I only see him as advanced past the prospect stage.

[soul_survivor]

Dubois is the best prospect in world boxing.

Below that, there are a few, Joe Joyce comes to mind keeping with the hw division.

Gotta agree with Kelly and Cattarall.

Not sure about Gorman, just a chubby guy trying to be a hw imo. I wouldnt include Yarde as a prospect anymore, he is more of a fringe contender.

Just been having a nose on the #YourOdds section of William Hill. Where you can request a bet.

Here's some of their bets on offer :

Dubois to win a full world title before the end of 2022 : 4/7

Kelly and Okolie to both win a full world title before the end of 2022 : 6/4

None of Yarde, Dubois or C.Smith to have won a full world title by 2025 : 6/1
