M Sprott
D Williams
S Gammer
S Belshaw
D Hughes

And 2 more.

Danny Williams should not be in it, he is the British champion.

don't put williams on a pedestal ffs.

he's an average british champion these days.

stick him in prizefighter.

If that's true that's a hell of a line up... I'll put money on Sprott to win if he gets Williams late on, think williams will tire if he gets 2 or 3 fights in.

Thats a quality line up Put Skelton in there too.

He is fighting on September 19th for the EU title, so I don't think he will be in this Prizefighter.

I also don't think he would benefit from being in a Prizefighter tournament at the current time.

just the sort of mickey mouse action u enjoy ants.

How "likely" is this rumour?

If this is true, it can only add to "super October!"

wouldn't be suprised if this is why Michael Holden has made a comeback

Brook fight will it happen in October then?

Looks pretty poor dont think Williams should be in it Sprott to KO Audrey again and go on and win it imo

You think it looks poor? That line up is rather impressive in my opinion and Sprott won't KO Harrison again.

Sprott a yardstick for coming up Euro level fighters, Audley what has he done in the pro game and Williams is the best of the bunch but I cant see him taking part

With Williams and Sprott in, along with Audley, it is easily the most talented bunch of heavies to fight in the prizefighter format I would say.

Audley beat Williams and fought for the Commonwealth title. Who would you want in a Heavyweight Prizefighter tournament?

1. David Haye
2. Sam Sexton - Commonwealth
3. Martin Rogan
4. Matt Skelton
5. Danny Williams - British
6. John McDermott - English
7. Michael Sprott
8. Audley Harrison
9. Scott Gammer
10. Derek Chisora

This is roughly the British top 10, and I don't think that a Heavyweight Prizefighter is likely to have many better ranked fighters in it.

I would like to see Chris Burton and Larry Olubamiwo be the two more added to that list from the first post.

I would like to see Larry and Dave Ferguson I think Prizefighter is suited to the HW's

Somebody called Heathen is the 7th boxer?

I have looked and don't know anyone by that name.

i wont be in it guys.

Did you not get asked? Or do you not want to do it?

my trainer didnt want me to do it but i agreed as i dont think i need to be doing that type of thing at this stage of my career

Okay, but I would think that with those sort of fighters you would have a lot to gain and not much to lose.

If you lost to Williams or Audley in the first round would anyone really think any less of you at this stage in your career? But if you won against one of those types of fighters, or won the whole tournament, you would make a big statement.

I am not a boxing manager though, so your trainer probably knows best.
