stepping up a weight - which champs beat who?

Post by Wales »

How many british champions could step up and win...

Andy Bell V Ian Napa
Ian Napa V Mathew Marsh
Mathew Marsh V paul Appleby
Paul Appleby v Kevin mitchell
Kevin Mitchell V john Murray
john murray V David Bsrnes
David Barnes V Kell Brook
Kell brook v Rhyan Rhodes
Ryan Rhodes V Wayne Elcock
Wayne Elcock V Carl Froch
Carl Froch V Dean Francis
Cruiserweight is vacant, so the next two are void

Rhodes Elcock would be interesting. Nappa Marsh too. Froch Francis would be superb. Im simply bored as Tranny and Susanah are on... thoughts (on the thread not those two pudenda) ?

After a quick glance, Rhodes is the only one i'd bet on

I def think Napa is better than Marsh, but he is a small bantam compared to Marsh being a big super bantam

Napa would beat Marsh,
Murray would beat Barnes,
Rhodes would have a good chance at Elcock,
Froch would beat Francis,

Though just to add that i rate Francis and i don't vote he'd lose because he's a weak British holder. Its just Froch is that good.

Those maybe the most likely ones, but while Napa is far better than Marsh pound for pound, I feel the size differene is too big, with Napa being an ex light fly and Marsh more of a feather.
Also I think Francis is world class too and competitive at cruiser, again he is too big.
The same also applies to Murray, he struggles a bit against boxers, esp when he is not strong enough to break them down, Barnes is a strong light welter, won a title at welter as well.
I'm not saying i'd bet my house on it, but they would be my tips
