Brad Saunders :TU:
Kal Yafai looks like he has the skills and power to go right to the top.
Obviously Frankie Gavin could go up to world level but the standard of opposition in the Welterweight division is insane.
Billy Joe Saunders should do good things at Middleweight
Callum Smith - Has the skills to go very far. Massive at the weight and good tidy boxer with decent power.
Obviously big Anthony Joshua is a future world champion given the right fights and progression.

I really like the look of young Gamal Yafai as well although he's only had 2 fights so difficult to say how good he can be but has good amateur background.

Bradley Skeete is probably one of the most exciting prospects in Britain at the moment. Well worth checking him out on YouTube.

I almost felt that punch from where I was sat on Saturday and has a very fan friendly boxing style about him in my opinion.

Looks excellent

Luke Campbell in another year or two.

^^^ agree with above also. I think this one might go far, there's at least a couple of other recent fighters who came through with all the credentials who already seem to have been around for years on the domestic scene.
I reckon Bradley Sauders would put a pasting on Broner, now!

All the above look good, especially the Yafais, but I've also liked the look of Etches.

It's subjective, isn't it? Many would say Brad isn't considering he has been a top level am for a long time. Galahad is good, showed his balls when he beat Jazza.

Lee Selby's younger brother (who beat yafai's younger brother) is supposed to be really special. He is due to turn pro soon I think.
