The 2 I really like the look of are DeGale and Groves as of yet im not convinced by the other 2 but it is still early and they still are still learning the pro game but I feel Groves and DeGale have adapted quicker

dickinson looks the least impressive but he has a big punch..degale is the only 1 that i think will stay super-middleweight..jeffries and groves will grow into light-heavyweight's in a few years..all 3 look very impressive..i would say grove's will go the furthest but degale look's good aswell..he is a counter-puncher so nobody can judge him on fight's where the other guy isn't trying to hit him..jeffries has very good power and a good jab..i see jeffries having a huge following like ricky hatton..grove's will always be a crowd pleaser and degale will be a love or hate him charcter

how can you say that degale has adapted quicker then jeffries..as soon as jeffries stepped into the pro rank's it was all natural..degale still has that slight amateur look about him..where as jeffries and groves fitted in perfectly.degale look's good at the minute but i feel we won't see what he is capable of till he has had about 15 pro bout's..he is a counter-puncher..thought he did well to stop healy in 1! took moore 3 rounds not long ago

Groves is my favourite. Groves, Jeffries and DeGale all look good so far. I've been most impressed with Tony Jeffries.

I think Groves should not step up too quickly. He's got time on his side and has more to work on than Jeffries and DeGale, but, I think, could have more potential. His style will benefit from more experience.

Keep writing Travis off fellas - the less he is talked about the better when he shocks you all and goes the furthest.

Massive puncher, if he 'calms' down a bit who will beat Groves (remember he beat him twice in the ams) etc etc

I still think that Groves is open to right hands, think his chin will be tested more than the others

doesn't matter if he beat him in the amateurs.if i recall dickinson stopped him.still think groves would ko him.groves beat dickinson in the am's aswell only once on a close points decision.i guarantee he won't go the furthest by the look of him in his last fight he looked very scrappy.but like you said he pack's a big punch and when he used his jab he was very affective

groves is like haye..not the best chin in the world but has great power in both hand's

I haven't talked about Dickinson because I've never seen him.

I agree, but how quickly things can change.

Remember Ellis, the first billion dollar athlete? Looked shit hot knocking over jourynmen to start with, then he gets sparked by one of them and ends up as cannon fodder for Tyson Fury (he is the only guy I have ever seen who actually threw himself into the way of the punches so he could get stopped quicker).

Only a few will amount to Championship standard, but it is nice to follow them from the start of their careers.

Thanks. He looks OK, but not a great prospect. He got hit an awful lot. It's early days, though; I'm not writing him off.
