    Ino some have alot more experiance than others, but im talking about the next quality and dominant world champion, not the first to be world champion. Asuming any of them do that is.

    I like Kell Brook meself, very classy and strong, can hit aswel. shame his fight with michael jennings had to be postponed, i would have liked to see how well he dealt with somebody of Jennings quality and see where he goes from there on.

      I think James Degale has the most talent, but he is very raw at the moment and has a crap team about him.

      After that it's Brook and then Cleverly.

      and after that, if he gets in shape and puts some effort in, Tyson Fury.

        Might I add, this young generation (including Khan who is only 22) is very promising, much better than the current one at least.

          Cleverley looks good, but I'm not sure he has that extra dimension and there still some areas that need improvement. Having said that, he does seem to get better with each fight and is very young, so perhaps he'll develop further and surprise me.

          Haven't seen Bellew.

          Kell Brook is very talented, it's a shame that he's had some injury problems because wins over Mutley and Jennings would've led to him stepping up to the next level. As it is that will probably have to wait 6+ months.

          Haven't seen Gavin.

          I have a higher opinion of DeGale than most people. I don't think he's destined to fail or whatever, but he does need the right trainer to help him make the most of his talents. He's looks at his best when against opponents who are aggressive and want to win, so I think he should be matched against good fighters pretty much every fight.

          Fury will win a British title at some point, but will need to change 90% of what he does if he want to be world class. I don't think he's got what it takes. Apparently he turned down an offer to train with Manny Steward, which is crazy IMO.

          George Groves isn't on the list, but I think he's got a lot of potential. He's still a novice, but in a few years time he'll be getting a lot more attention.

            Nathan Cleverly, right now is not fully commited to boxing, apparently in his last fight he barely even bothered training for it, so he is not looking his best.

            Kell Brook has natural talent, but its a shame he is in that division, @ 140 i think in a couple of years he could dominate.

            DeGale, people are expecting too much too soon from him, he needs to keep a low profile and keep chalking up the wins

            Tyson Fury, needs to lay off the Mcdonalds, in that mcdermott fight he looked in very odd shape, fat in the belly with little thin arms, he needs to be built like a Klitschko. And yes turning down Manny Steward was idiotioc. Fury seemed to be getting better every fight, and then his conditioning started going down, he lost the power in the jab and looked pants against Big Bad John. If he gets power and a jab, with his size and natural strength he will be a force, he also showed reasonable chops in the Mcdermott fight, John isn't a big puncher but still Fury took a lot square on the jaw from him.

              John Murray. I cannot stress this enough. Why was he left out of this list?

                James De Gale and Kell Brook do. Fury is a hypejob.

                  Gavin has the best chance out of any of them.

                    I think Cleverly has the skills to go all the way, hes power seems to be improving all the time as well. Kell Brook will be a world champ as well. Im not a big fan of JDG, hes got talent, but ive got no time for big time charlies.
