    Few of those guys mentioned are past the prospect stage as they've won titles. Yafai for me though from the list.

    No one on that list with a world title though, I did see another good prospect, but cant remember his name he was on a undercard the couple weeks ago, he was part of olympic team but decided to go pro instead, he looked very good.

    John Ryder looks promising, as does Billy Joe Saunders

    He's a natural. Good style to watch. He's suffered from hand injuries in the past though so hopefully that's behind him. He had a tough fight last time out against Nick Blackwell for the vacant British title, but came through it. He's got Matthew Hall next month.

    Say what?! Frampton just knocked out Kiko Martinez and looked good in doing so. First time in his pro career that Martinez has lost inside distance.

    To be honest i wasnt overly Impressed with Frampton, i thought he looked weak when put under pressure, i feel once he starts facing better oponents hes gonna get found out quite easily. Also still say Quigg beats him comfortably.

    But all the fighters you've named are pro, bar Joshua.

    HUGE difference in the am game to the pro game, son.

    Yeah i agree, But looks like he has potential to be good, doesnt look like typical fat heavyweight, looks in very good condition. Joshua has won a gold Olympic medal, so he has started his career very well and still very young, so hes only gonna get better.

    Let's hope he's not another Audley Harrison.

    I'm just glad you didn't mention that other scrub, can't even remember his name. Shitty Gogo. I would have had to bash you.

    WTF, Goldenboy signed him? :lol:

    I ragged on him at the Olympics, and he got a clear gift over the Cuban, but I guess given his level of experience, he's not THAT bad. Certainly a lot better than Shitty Gogo.

    I know, that's what I'm laughing at. No idea why they would sign someone so scrubby.
