Martin Lindsey is one of my favs.. Would just like to see himmore active and his fights further up the bill. He is ready for a challenge IMO.

Also really rate Fewkes. On the subject of his power, if it is sufficiently good to gain his opponents respect and 'keep them from walking through his punches' (and I think it is, for most part at least) then I dont care if he doesnt score a single KO the whole rest of career - I just really enjoy watching him box!

Dolan has zero future at heavy and will have to drastically improve to do anything at cruiser. Actually, maybe not because the domestic scene is very weak there.

Denton Vassell looks good although he does fight much.

but there both hardly young anymore and been pro's for a while now.

i think kevin mitchell is the best of the young guys around.

john murray's defence and power ain't good enuff.

amir khan had a life or deather with a guy probably not good enuff to win the british title at present.

jamie cox turned pro the other night and is one to keep an eye on.

beyond that i'm struggling.
they are both world level contenders

yeah but were talking about world level prospects here.

haye is still only a prospect in that respect.

and froch has still only really proved himself the best in britain, next to calzaghe of course.

Denton is fighting this August in Liverpool Emma so make sure you are there, bring John the Barrister along too if you see him before then.

Early-days but Scott Quigg looks lively already, lovely shot-selection.

Heard and read good things about Scott Quigg, although my mate Slasher said he was stopped far, far too soon against him in his last contest.

He wasn't a happy bunny.

Tom Podmore.

It really seems that people participating in this forum do not realize the progression from prospect to contender

David Haye and Carl Froch are no longer considered "Prospects" at this point. They are both World Rated "Contenders"
As they are now in Contention for a World Title.

One of the best round i'd say. A real nice guy too.

A beast, so he is. Approach with extreme caution.

I was in Wolverhampton but i didn't go to the fight. Mutley paid the price for coming in to the Civic with West Brom emblens on his shorts and top
