Saunders will do OK.

DeGale and Gavin will come unstuck at some stage IMO.

Both Maloney and Hayemaker have the better of this year's amateur crop.... but I don't see ****** having the balls to make the matches. It will be Eurobums and the Commonwealth title for these boys I'm afraid.

Groves and Jeffries have impressed me most so far. DeGale will suprise people.

Best prospect put there is Stephen Smith

degale and fury i think, would like to say gavin do well as hes local to me but still a little reserved on him,

I don't think any of them will win a genuine world title.
As much as it pains me to say it cos I hate the prick, DeGale will probably be the most successfull. After that I reckon Groves will do very well.

:good

DeGale and gavin in my opinion .....

James DeGale is a barrel of shite, only got through the olympics with his slaps perennial hugging - won't get anywhere near any professional belt - YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!

Tyson Fury
David Price
Tony Jefferies
George Groves
James DeGale
Billy Jo Saunders
Frankie Gavin
Another other I've forgotten!!

Kell Brook! Kell Brook! Kell Brook! From that list I think James DeGale and as you can guess my 'Any Other' is Kell Brook. Billy Joe Saunders really impressed me. Gavin doesn't have the power. Fury will get exposed soon.

Joe Murray , Stephen Smith these 2 boys defo European title level and providing the right World opportunities come along at the right time then poss World Champions.

Out of those listed I would say George Groves will go the furthest. I also like Jefferies and can see Tyson Fury having moderate success given that the heavyweight division is so lacking in talent at the moment and with no saviours on the horizon.

As for the rest, time will tell, certainly wouldn't be writing any of them off this early.

do you still consider the british champion kell brook to be a prospect?

from the list i like groves and bjs. stephen smith and jamie cox are my other choice prospects

Billy Joe is probally the best but I think all will reach a good level.

Darren Sutherland, Frankie Gavin and as much as I hate to admit it, James Degale!

The only ones I don't see having some success are Fury and Price because I think you need a punch AND a chin at heavyweight.

That's not to say they will all make it at the highest level but I think they'll do well.

I think DeGale and Gavin will fall short.

I would like to throw Ashley Sexton into the mix. Certainly Flyweight is a week division in Europe, he can deffinatley become european champion

Groves especially.

You think? I reckon from the list Saunders and DeGale. In fact I think DeGale probably has the most potential. Don't get me wrong, he's a cock socket, but he has the skills.

Gavin too prone to cuts I think.

Saunders - looking good just now.

Ashley Sexton can win belts at various weights, world titles im not sure, great future for him though

saunders is a definate future star,he looks the most naturally-accomplished.
degale may just have realised that you have to work hard to earn respect,and looked twice as good this time out,he's a maybe.
f.gavin and t.jeffries may well be slow burners,providing that they develop a better tactical approach.

still,great to have plenty to keep an eye on though!

i'd say european level was 'making it' as a pro.
