Frank Maloney has played a blinder

Post by scrap iron »

The fact he has managed to sign up Darren Sutherland, Travis Dickinson and Tony Jeffries means he has three of the brightest super-middleweights prospects out there. allegedly has James Degale, Kenny Anderson etc and Hayemaker has George Groves. If they all can keep within the 168lb limit, the possibility of some mouth-watering domestic clashes is realistic one. Hopefully they won't spend their careers avoiding one another and we will see something simliar to what we had in the 1990s with Benn/Eubank/Watson/Collins.

:P

I think the fact they are signed with rival promoters usually indicates that they will be kept apart unfortauntely and won't meet. Although I admire your optimism :D

Will Jeffries be super middle or light heavy?

Can't see them all fighting each other for a long time. Everyone has their own plan, their own route, and there's a lot to lose. Hopefully they do, but boxing has surely taught us that it often takes exceptional circumstances to see prospects against each other, and usually until they're well out of the prospect stage.

If they all become good names, and can make money against each other for some kind of championship then hopefully these kind of things happen. Thankfully super middle is a very good division, there's 4 good world champions, a strong top 15, and so on.

Who cares what happened when they were juniors?

Means nothing.

Travis Dickinson is lacking at the top level of amateur experience. That COULD harm him.

Well then he will have no bad habits, Time will tell. It looks like British Boxing could be having a new golden period.
And the question is who will come out on top. The Boxing fans should be in for a good time as we all build are fighters careers.
Let the best come out on top.
