It has now been three years since the Beijing Olympians of David Price, Tony Jeffries, James DeGale, Billy Joe Saunders, Frankie Gavin and Joe Murray all decided to turn professional after one of the most successful Olympics that Great Britain has had in the square circle and they have pretty much had the same number of fights so
Who has been the most impressive so far
Who has improved the most since their professional debut
Who needs to improve and why?
What does the future hold for them

Who has been the most impressive so far - Degale
Who has improved the most since their professional debut -degale
Who needs to improve and why? - Tony Jeffries - not looked to have made the tansition well
What does the future hold for them
- Degale -world title , Jeffries ( not sure ) , Price- European , Saunders ( British ) , Murray - European -Gavin - at welterweight i cant see him doing much at high level
The European ones most likely get a world title shot of sorts

Who needs to improve and why? - Jeffries, he's looked awful so far
What does the future hold for them - very little, they'll be the forgotten class of British fighters, due to the inactivity and poor matchmaking they've had thus far
I'd also add that none of them will win genuine world titles - by that I'm talking WBC/IBF against world class opponents. Not any ''vacant interim'' WBO/WBA crap.
