My picks are Lewis Rees, Liam Williams and Wayne Adeniyi.
No fight limit on Prospects, 5 fights and less won't be breaking out yet.

You have Craig Evans there at No1 but his camp have chosen to avoid Ronnie Clark heard a interview with a claim that he is best superfeather weight in the uk. So why avoid this fight? :box: :oo

A tell you what Evans v Clark would be a cracker! I backed Evans to go far but also think Clark is a talent. Clark can punch and is very strong. Evans is probs a better all round boxer but if he got dragged into Clarks fight it would be a cracker!!

Any takers on Danny Price the 6ft 6 inch Scarborough based Cruiserweight currently 3-0, I have been impressed with I have seen from him. He has shown his amateur pedigree with with good shot selection a strong jab and a very strong body attack who is next out on the 3rd Match. If he is kept active I reckoon he will be fighting for an Area title or the English title before the year is out.

Craig Evans could not fight Ronnie Clark at the moment. His chin is so easy to hit and Ronnie is a strong boy, Ronnie would stop him for now anyways. This thread is for prospects and hes definetly a prospect though:)

Hopefully the fight happens. Craig is very fast but he will get hit you can not avoid Ronnie he would walk Craig down. This would be the best time for Craig to fight Ronnie he is improving very fast big prospect especially with the power at this weight. Everyone I have spoke to have alot of time for Craig they dont give out ABA titles but everyone has said Ronnie would stop him just being too strong for Craig. If you feel Craig would win why did you choose another fight for Craig??

Power doesn't win a fight, Craig is very strong to & can also punch, ronnie would get hit to remember, I never chose another fight for Craig, you think ronnie wins that's good I'm entitled to decide to and Craig wins to me, it's a pick a prospect board not matchmaking board,

I saw a little bit of him on Ringside recently and I was impressed with what I saw from the highlight reel. He displays good temperment and maturity in the ring good footwork and he does not waste his shots.

Erick became much better since he lost to Robinson. He won over Liam Cameron (who is no joke of course) then.
