The obvious choices are
DeGale
Broves
Gavin

My take is Gavin and reckon that kid will go very far. I haven't seen a young british prospect who was so accurate with every punch he threw.

i would have said kell brook, suppose its difficult to says who's a prospect, is clev still a propsect even though he's fighting for a world title.

wouldnt be suprised if some one else springs up, after all the ones mentioned are all with warren and could be a long while untill they fight fighters who are going to improve them. degale's not been to bad to be fair but gavins so far have all been tin cans

Kell Brook has been mollycoddled so much though, and waiting until the divisions poor instead of making him go after some of the tough fighters is a bit annoying =/

DeGale. Great skills, just not sure Gavin has the physical tools to put some of the swarmers and punchers off.

I think he may just have the tools for that. His punch accuracy is exceptional. Granted he's fighting less than good opponents, but he looks the part. Humble guy also. Rolling Eyes

I'd like to see Frankie do well, not least because he's a forum user so get a bit of background and latest news on his fights.

Michael Lomax is a decent fighter and Gavin dominated him - deadly accuracy when punching and the energy and intelligence to make his opponents miss. Would like to see him get a fair few rounds under his belt this year.

Kell Brook is a great prospect also, I'm hoping his contract talks get sorted soon - would love to see him come back to Sheffield.

In terms of fighters at the early stage of their careers, there is a buzz around Carl Frampton and Liam Walsh. Difficult to predict at this stage how they will turn out. Its not always a good idea to put pressure on fighters to early. There is a strong heavyweight contingent in Fury, Price, Dallas and Sexton. Could even still put Chisora in there, but he might be to advanced these days.

A bit more advanced in their careers, there is a decent chance of Lenny Daws, Craig Watson, John O'Donnell and Denton Vassell competing for world titles. Last time out Vassell picked up the commonwealth title and is currently undefeated.

Did Vassel not defend his title last time out. Which he wasn't too impressive doing. He tries a Tyson esq approach that a decent operator could pick a part. Has a chance of alphabet title against a weak champ but thats it.

I have to agree. I didn;t think much of Vassel.

Frankie Gavin looks fantastic very accurate, good defence and very slick think this is going to be a big year for Gavin he must have been a bit frustrated at how the last one went.
