Frankie Gavin is the one Jim Watt wants to see as Britain's Olympic stars turn professional.
Frankie the pick of a fine bunch of new pros, says Jim
It's great for British boxing to have all these young lads turning professional at the same time.
It shows that our amateur game is in good shape and it's good for the sport in general on these shores. The immediate future is healthy, that's for sure.
Of course, amateur success doesn't always mean you do well as a professional, it's not that straightforward.
But it is a fair guide; you will find that most amateurs do cut it in the paid game. And these are top-class amateurs we are talking about here.
It's not just about the Olympics for James DeGale, Frankie Gavin and Billy Joe Saunders.
Disappointment
After all young Gavin was the first Briton to be World Amateur Champion in 2007 - and to be honest, he is the one I am looking forward to seeing the most on Saturday.
He, remember, was the one that was supposed to get the gold medal in Beijing, the one everybody fancied. His problems on the scales were a huge disappointment, but ever since then I think we have all been waiting to see him turn pro.
I've got to be honest and say I've not seen a great deal of him but we know he is technically very good.
That will help of course, but mainly with his defence because fighting over a longer distance, you do not want to be taking silly punches.
By all accounts Gavin should have no problem making the transition.
Strenuous
As for James DeGale, he is the one with the gold medal, but it was a shame his final in Beijing was so messy. But he did what he had to do to win and you can't argue with that - after all he was our first boxing gold medallist for 40 years!
He will also make a good pro, though I've no doubt.
A lot of people say they like the look of Billy Joe Saunders and again, he is one I have not seen too much of.
But I do like the fact that his first opponent, Attila Molnar, has had 30 fights. You don't want anything too strenuous - and none of these will be - when you're starting out, but I don't like knock-overs. You have to be matched with a guy who is going to make you work.
Concentrate
OK, you don't want a blood-and-guts battle but it's no good boxing rings round someone for fun, because that is not going to teach you anything.
You want to put these young lads into matches were they develop, have to concentrate and above all, have to perform to win.
In all honesty the step up is not as big as some people make out. There are certain adaptations that they will have to make, though.
They will have to adjust after being used to that ludicrous amateur scoring system where one big punch scores the same point as a decent six-punch combination, but the one thing that people do overlook is the quality of the opposition.
DeGale, Gavin and Saunders - and the rest of them from the Beijing Olympics for that matter - are used to fighting the very best in the amateurs. For a while at least, their professional opponents won't be of the same quality, simple as that.
I don't see any of them having any problems in Birmingham on Saturday in what is a great chance for them to get the British boxing public behind them from the off.
