    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.

    Not seen too much of him Scrap to be honest but I was not massively impressed with the couple of fights I seen a while back. What's his best performance so far? I'll look it up

    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.

    Can you ask Anthony Farnell why he wears glasses that make him look like a mentally ill person please? I can'y understand why an apparently sane human being would wear them. There has to be some weird reason for them.

    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

    Tough one but Nathan is the best I have seen form that bunch.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
