World wide or Brits?
World wide I suspect Hinata Maruta will be on everyone's lips, along with Sergey Lipinets, Tugstogt Nyambayar, Oleksandre Usyk, Denys Berinchyk and Dmitry Bivol

Re: New stars 2016
I can see Vijender Singh having a good 2016.
Alex Hughes looks good from Locketts gym and he could get into domestic contention.
Be interesting to see which amateurs turn over after Rio aswell.
Selby will have a huge year. Too talented to hold back. I'm going to stick my neck out and say Selby will be world champion by the end of the year.

Re: New stars 2016
Selby is unlucky in that the divisions he's likely to fight at are pretty deep right now. 112/115 are going to be tricky to crack no matter how good he looks.PredatorHayds wrote:I can see Vijender Singh having a good 2016.

Talk he fights for a British title next out.
Re: New stars 2016
I don't think that we have seen the last of Kid Galahad. And Lateef Kayode might get another title stint if he gets a few tomato cans put in front of him.
Re: New stars 2016
In terms of younger fighters, I would highlight a few lads from my home city - James Tennyson and Dee Walsh. They could make the step up next year and move themselves more in to the British mainstream.
Re: New stars 2016
Really like the look of Jack Catterall. He could kick on in the next 12 months. Still young mind so no rush.

Re: New stars 2016
Usyk has been heavily, unanimously tipped by the Boxing Monthly team; so that's usually a good reason to watch this space.
Domestically, I think Hughie Fury could burst through domestically towards the back end of the year now that AJ is a world-level fighter.
The family are convinced that Hughie is made of the same stuff as his cousin; and right now I am not inclined to disagree with their views.

Re: New stars 2016
Really like Bivol, he's got a good variety of shots and very accurate too, very patient and great at working his opponent out. He's in a great division and young enough to be able to take his time (think he's 24 while all the top boys are over 30).
Hopefully Liam Williams can have an injury free year and push on, really like Jack Catterall too and hope he'll be on the fringe of a wold title shot by the end of next year.
Does anyone rate Ohara Davies? I cant make my mind up about him.

Re: New stars 2016
I don't normally rave about prospects until they get a notable win but Dimitri Bivol looks a serious talent and looks to be matched well for where he is at. He may get a big win in 2016.

Ponomarev looks a quality fighter aswell in a cracking division.
