Maybe a bit longer than your timeframe but Liverpool light-heavy Tony Bellew.

I think his brother David is acutally the better boxer if the two if he had stuck at it what a time that could have been with the two of them topping bills.

Appleby is the one that stands out for me, but there are a fair few at a similar level.

Bhatia and Appleby.

Bellew who althogh looks promising at the minute, i feel will get hit too much as a pro & will not be able to get away with it as he did as an amateur. The minute he faces a big puncher i think he will struggle.

But i suppose we'll have to wait a long time for that as he is with FW, but we'll see.

His brother was the better amature i think but just fell out with the sport only had two pro fights. hes a joiner now, pauls decent hes wasnt in the league of the likes of keeny anderson and craig mcewan in the amatures, so think he will get to british title level and the other two a bit more.

Yeah i like what i've seen of Bhatia, keeps a cool head in the ring, he's not a big puncher , but i think that will develope a bit.

I know Jamie McDonnel has fought for the British title already , but i'd still put him in the 'prospect' pot.
If he has learnt from the Edwards defeat he can certainly compete at a higher level.

Dean Harrison and Martin Gethin.

Darren Barker. I think he can win British title against the winner of Elcock v McDermott (scheduled to happen in May). Jamie Cox as well, if he can stay out of trouble with the law.

Craig Watson seems a hard man to beat, quite a difficult style to face.

He could go further, I'd personally love to see Ali get a chance to avenge defeat but that llooks unlikely now.

as for the rest I like Paul Appleby, never seen Martin Lyndsey so no idea.

I think Truscott's ok but I'm not as convinced as others. He often is open and has been dumped quite heavily, against Steve Gethin if I remember correctly. But hey good luck to him he's new and as such deserves time. Paul Appleby would be far too much for him though, i believe they're the same weight.

I also think Kev Anderson could finally get going above Brit level this year as I think he'll beat Mcintyre inside 6 or 7 rounds.

I also like Bhatia - great shout that one. Possibly still developing power but good speed and skills.
