I'm interested to see how far people think the following can go:
Lee Selby-I think he can make it to the world title level still not sure if he will be champion though his next fight after Walsh will decide that for me.

Chris Jenkins-Did well in prizefighter, should get a British title as his division isn't the best.

Craig Evans-Really needs to start upping his competition now till we can see the best of him.

Lewis Rees-Same as above however he is showing good power against some fairly durable opponents.

Liam Williams-Is still very young, but again same as Evans and Rees needs a test to see how far he can go.

Rhys Evans and Aled Cook-Look fairly decent, but that is expected in a debut.

Tobias Webb-Again like a lot of Welsh fighters hasn't fought a decent level of opposition except Fielding to see how good they are.

Of Course we all know about Enzo, Cleverly, Gavin Rees and Buckland's level so haven't mentioned these.
Does anyone have any opinions on these? or any Welsh hopes for British or even World level.

Its still quite hard to believe that Wales had 3 World champions at the same time a few year back

It seem inconcievable that Scotland can do that ever

Even harder to believe that they were all trained out of what was more or less a large shed in the valleys.

Wales and Scotland aswell as Ireland really do not have a lot of talent. Such a shame.

Maybe not at the moment, but they've never done badly in the past, compared to England they have a lot more world champions when compared to the population of each country.

Ireland has loads of real talent, it's just amatuer boxing is just as popular over there, if not more, and you can become a star without ever taking off the vest.

Dublin and the Republic in general seems to be a bit of a graveyard for professional talent, the only shows seem to be held in Belfast, especially since Bernard Dunne retired.

I can see Selby winning something of note... and of all the prize fighters jenkins has been the one that has impressed me the most..... :)

Evans & Selby are definitely the cream , both have real pro style.
