Also what level can they get to ????

Anthony Fowler
Josh Kelly
Joe Cordina
Joshua Butasi
Lawrence Okolie

and also

Katie Taylor

[crusader]

Kelly maybe? All their opposition has been pretty limited so far though. To me it's more telling when someone is already looking 'eh' at this level (Okolie).

I'm sure Taylor can win a world title, as she's good and competing against in a much shallower talent pool than the men are. She's already top 10 on BoxRec, even though only 2 of her 6 opponents have winning records!

Anthony Fowler - Commonwealth
Josh Kelly - World
Joe Cordina - World
Joshua Butasi - Euro / World
Lawrence Okolie - British
Katie Taylor - P4P

Katie Taylor has really impressed me so far, despite the shallow field of opposition - her footwork is a joy to watch. Cordina and Kelly have also looked like future stars in my opinion, again it has been poor opposition but the shot selection and the fact they haven't rushed has been impressive.

I haven't seen enough of Buatsi as of yet, but he looked good at the Olympics and I haven't seen anything particularly negative yet.

Fowler and Okolie have looked awful so far in my opinion, both should have been DQ'd on the Brook undercard. Believe their own hype too much and are trying way too hard to be the next AJ / Froch KO machines. Losses waiting to happen.

Taylor cannot be compared to what the men may achieve imo. As an earlier poster has put, women's depth in the fight game make it a completely different situation.

To answer the OP I'd say Kelly and Buatsi have the best Arsenal and skill set at their disposal, and also potential.

Cordina isn't far behind

Fowler doesn't have the same talent imo but he appears to live boxing and can be one who surpasses his talent thru dedication and strong mentality

Okolie is much more raw and needs refining or he'll get outclassed when he meets a good opponent.

[mullenman]

Okolie is awful. Taylor is a star

Katie Taylor - Going to cause serious debate being compared with Clarissa Shields in the argument for the #1 P4P Female fighter

[Andrew]

Too early to say.

Remember when loads thought Price would dominate.

Loads of people on here thought Gavin would be elite.

bring this up again to see what more people think

Fowler - Eventually becomes British champion aged 34, claims his career is an incredible one upon retirement 'cos of this despite multiple losses to Fatius Latvius.

Kelly - Rises rapidly to a WBC Intercontinental Young Trier Silver Bronze Stubhub Emetirus Champion, before his cocky style sees him tagged and panicked at Euro level, where he eventually loses.

Cordina - Not actually too bad, but won't really go anywhere. Will beat an aged washed up champion at some point.

Buatsi - Minor world title.

Okolie - Matchstick legs loses badly when a more rugged Cruiser tags him. Never the same after.

Taylor - World champion but nobody really cares.
