    The next British Heavyweight World Champion

    The Hearn dynasty has done a lot for 'marginalised' sports, not everyone will be appreciative but the sports have moved on and survived with a chance to flourish again.

    The Frotch v Groves fight really brought an interest to what had been a very mediocre weight division in this country

    Eubanks kid is doing ok at the moment too - but yeah I agree Nigel Benn v everyone golden era of British boxing - Hearn Jnr on his way to rejuvenating the sport of boxing again though - Just like they are trying to do with do with snooker/darts.

    My two favorite sports - boxing and snooker

    The next British Heavyweight World Champion

    My interest in British boxing and in turn boxing as a sport has dropped as a result of the quality and passion of fighters has plummeted. Several times I have revisited fights of the 80s and 90s to reminisce about Andries, Eubank, Benn, Watson, McGuigan, Lewis, and Collins to name just a few.

    I used to love my time watching boughts in sportshalls and leisure centres up and down the country for regional titles trying to spot the one that could break the international scene.

    Calzaghe was a great fighter at his weight and a undoubted legend - This kid is a quick heavyweight for his size though - 3 and 0 at the moment with 3 ko's - early days but he has a gold medal under his belt - and the best prospect I have seen at Heavyweight since Lennox Lewis and I like his attitude - he is modest and laid back but highly focused and he understands he is learning.

    I like that inner focus - and the fact he has the hustle behind the muscle - call it what you will but he seems to have that all imortant eye of the tiger to up it a gear and finish or adapt to any situation in the ring.

    He is bigger than Bruno with better movement and speed - frightening for any opponent to face and the best heavyweight prospect for a long long while - He has already battered Tyson Fury in sparring when he was a lot younger I believe.

    certainly got potential there mate. I am always sceptical and reserved when boxers present a certain physique as it can limit technique although these days especially in the heavyweight division of its becoming the norm. I prefer the lithe Calzaghe regiment

    Promoted by Barry Hearn's lad Eddie - good luck to him - hope all snooker fans get behind the kid he got potential I think.

    I think this kid is on his way to the top of the fight game and will become a World Champion. Mind you I thought this about Jack Lisowski too
