I think Eddie comfortably has the best stable.

Top Rank probably has the best fighter (Taylor) with Fury a close second. Boxxer don’t actually have a big stable but they seem to be able to get deals done on a fight by fight basis it seems.
Frank has Fury and some other good fighters but after the first 5-6 his stable doesn’t have much depth at all.

Probellum has a good stable and have made some really good signings but will need a few more to be competitive.

PBC have a lot of (inactive) big names. Probellum have gone quiet after their first 2 major shows had less thatn 5000 viewers on Freesports. Matchroom have currently a big roster of fighters but they might also be getting less than 5000 viewers for all we know. I think it's closer to 5000 than the 200/300K we often hear on the forums. Warren doesn't really have Fury and most of his shows are dire. There's definitely a gap for Boxxer to exploit in the UK. Top Rank have good main events but poor undercards probably due to limited budgets on ESPN. In all honesty, no ones putting on shows like Don King, Warren, Arum or even Frank Maloney put on in the 90s.

I don't care as I'm not an SJW crybaby but there's something a bit odd about a promoters stable. As in the word. Like a slave master

Boxxers stable is atrocious at the moment. Not been impressed with most of their signings.

Sky are heavily relying on Josh Taylor (Top Rank) and Chris Eubank Jr ( wasserman) as headliners

Hearns Uk stable is by far the best

Anthony Joshua, Lawrence Okolie, Leigh Wood, Josh Warrington, Liam Smith, Callum Smith, Dillian Whyte, Lee Mcgregor, Felix Cash, John Ryder, Connor Benn, Joshua Buatsi, Dereck Chisora, Joe Cordina, Chris Billam-Smith, Maxi Hughes, Craig Richards, Dalton Smith, Scott Fitzgerald, Lerrone Richards, Kieron Conway, James Tennyson, Hopey Price, Fabio Wardley, Cyrus Pattinson, Callum French, Johnny Fisher, Caoimhin Agyarko, Cheavon Clarke

Marshall, Dickinson, the McCormack lads will do ok.

Top Rank. Quality over quantity. Has the only 2 British world champions that are genuinely the best in there weight class.

Have the McCormacks aligned with Boxxer? I thought they were currently 100% Probellum. Same with Dickinson too whose last fight was with Probellum.

The McCormacks, as things stand at the moment, won’t be on Sky though as they’ve only done a deal with Probellum. Same with Dickinson too as he signed with Probellum after debuting on a Boxxer show.

If Sky do a deal with Probellum though that changes things but I can’t see it happening really as they’ll need to do it through Boxxer.

Out of interest, do you still think Frank has easily the best stable in Britain?

I think Ol' Frank has a very good stable, lot's of prospects, but there's no focus on them..

He only 'cares' about a few of them. Potential = wasted.

Hearn uses all his stable as best he can, gets everyone out the best he can.

Hearn without a shadow of a doubt, but as weak as it's been for a long long time, and in an increasingly complicated market.

The Sky fights in February - Eubank/Willis, Khan/Brook and Taylor/Catterall trump Wood/Conlan, Martinez/Warrington, Okolie/Cieslak, Ryder/Jacobs, in my view (although I' like them all in one way or another).

There's also no imminent date for when Matchroom's two biggest heavyweight starts will fight, or even on what channel they will fight on.

Matchroom need that linear channel on Sky.
