...who out of these will achieve most in their career. Obviously the guys ive listed aren't all at same stage of their careers but all could be said to still be 'on the way up'.

I personally think Kel Brook will go the furthest mate.He has all the tools and skills to do really well.Tyson Fury could do just as well with the heavy division being soo full of fighting robots.
I went for Brook in the votes,though their could all have a great chance of getting to the top.
I went for Brook, but the problem he faces is that he's in the toughest division in boxing. I think he's by far the most talented of that bunch, with only Cleverly as competition, but whether he can reach the top with the quality at 147, I don't know. Cleverly could do it, certainly a world title is a possibility, but I can't see that he doesn't get destroyed by the likes of Dawson or Cloud in the future.
Probably should have had Frankie Gavin, Don Broadhurst etc instead of Jamie Moore or Kevin Mitchell. I don't think either of those guys can really be considered prospects & both are on the brink of world title shots anyway.
I agree with you that Brook is probably the most talented, but i don't think there is much in it between him and Cleverly. I went for Cleverly largely based on their respective divisions. I can see Cleverly being ready for a title shot within two years, but I can't see Brook being ready for the best at 147 for some time. I also agree that Moore and Mitchell are passed 'prospect' stage, but this was more just about fighters that probably had the peak of their achievements ahead of them. I think thats true for both of them, or at least is potentially true.
As for Broadhurst, you're right there, definately should have added him. An oversight on my part.
You havent mentioned Frankie Gavins, Im surprised. To me He is the pick of the Bunch, see Him moving to Welter and Punching Harder when He does. Plus you cant Hit Him with a Handfull of Rice. ;D
I think Billy Joe whatshisname will do really well. Not sure if he'll do better than everybody on that list and people not on it like Gavin, but I'm sure he'll do really well.
Kel, it wont happen but He could be Fighting or has the ability to win a Title in his next 6 Fights. Taken a lot of notice of Him in the gym these last couple of weeks, and been more than impressed. To top it of a Lovely Kid, Im a Fan. ;D
Told Him 2 weeks ago ;D
Well at first i wasn't going to include any of the olympians, but put DeGale in there simply due to his gold. As for Gavin - i think he is slick and very elusive, but i just don't think he will have the power to discourage the top echelon. I could be wrong, but i see people being able to walk through his shots. Hopefully his power will develop though.
Billy joe Saunders could go a long way also. I guess it shows that British boxing could be in for a new golden era in 3-5 years.
Gavins got the Pedigree, World Titles are harder to win than anything in the Amatuers. Plus its who He beat to win one. Plus He has proved t6hat He gets better each year, me thinks He will keep improving ;D
Tough one but Nathan is the best I have seen form that bunch.
