Who is your faviorite prospect who has fallen under the radar or isnt a big named prospect yet?

Steve Barnes the 18 year old super bantam who was recently beaten by Ian Bailey looks like a good prospect. And of course all 3 Walshes and the olympians.

He looks terrible, he has a long long way to go yet.

Agreed the 2 fights i've seen I havent been impressed at all he doesnt seem to be able to adapt, doesnt have the power to keep people off and doest have the staminia imo.

seen him once , thought he was crap

Mine would be Craig McEwan, he seems very talented but hasnt got the recognition over here he deserves.

The Freddie Roach trained Dean Byrne has finally been granted a visa and will be one to keep an eye out for in 2010. His fellow Dubliner Jamie Kavanagh has also been taken under Roachs wing at the Wildcard and he will be looking for an impressive debut year in the pros.

The Irish based Cuban Alexei Acosta looks like a top prospect and he will be taking on the experienced Felix Machado in Dublin on Saturday so it will be interesting to see how he gets on in that.

Carl Frampton is another obvious prospect. Should be a big year for the Hyland brothers aswell.

joe selkirk, only had 3 or 4 fights and had a lot of injury problems but he could go all the way, he doesn't get as much attention as smith and bellew but he's just as talented

Barnes you're joking right, I saw him on ITV4 before Christmas and he was garbage.

Tyson Fury, George Groves and Stephen Smith.

Steve? Is that you?

joe selkirk diggler beat me to it thiks hes a secret only the liverpool boing scene knows about just a shame over his hands

Kris Hughes is a bit under the radar. Think he may be in line for a shot at the British Super-Bantam title if Booth vacates.

Dean Byrne is a very good boxer, hear alot of good things about Jamie Kavanagh, my cousin been telling me for a few years now, coz he's mates with his Father i just took it with a pinch of salt, but now from hearing and seing him on youtube, teaming up with Roach he must be good.

Looks Class have seen a few of his Fights and been really impressed, 9 fights 9 KO's 8)
They asked for the Fight a few times with me but i aint that Punch Drunk yet

Carl Frampton and Jamie Kavanagh.

I have high hopes for my Cruiserweight Tony Conquest, It's early days yet, but he posseses ability and crucially a fantastic work ethic and a willingness to learn.

Time will tell, but I've a good feeling about him.

You sparred Dean didn't you Martin?

Machado will be a good step up in class for Acosta and it will be good to see how he gets on. Have you been offered the chance to spar with Acosta?

joe mcnally.. wheres he gone? is he injured? top fighter

David Savage Jnr a few fights away from a title shot him v Kris Hughes all scottish super bantemweight class would put bums on seats & Darryl Campbell (watch out for this kid hes top drawer he would be my pick)

Yeah i sparred with Dean he train over the TKO gym before he went to he U.S, good all round Clever Boxer..

No they ask me to fight Acosta rang for it a few times, if he can make easy Machado and stops him that will be impressive

I was really impressed with Karl Place when he fought last time out in Newport.

Good shout with Kris Hughes and Davey Savage they both look very good but dont seem to have that good of power (even though Hughes KO'd a boy in the 1st in his last fight) but very good boxing skills and well educated.

Davey Savage and Kris Hughes are good shouts, I would add Stephen SR Russel and Kris Carslaw to that list.

Top prospects though are George Groves, James DeGale and Frankie Gavin for me.

World level - Matt Korobov (late twenties though I think) and Guillermo Rigondeaux (who's 29) but both have only recently turned pro.

Tyson Fury by far the most skilled boxer that will end up at world level in the next 2 years
