New world champions this year

[Roman7]

Who will step up and become a new champion of the world this year ?

[JimJim2009]

I can see Butler taking the title from Hall if he gets the opportunity. I think the next British boxer to get the opportunity is Brian Rose, he is fighting WBO champ Andrade in May, in America. Tough assignment but good luck to him.

George Groves

[thatllbeme]

khan if he gets porter
degale if he gets bika
butler

[Roman7]

What about Audrey Harrison ?

[Boxing Prospect]

Worldwide I see Kohei Kono, Naoya Inoue and Hozumi Hasegawa all winning titles in April

Domestically Groves and DeGale are very strong possibilities

[Parson Cross]

Brook will be a World Champion in 2014.

[hoot]

Kell Brook 2014 is the year it starts.

[Glass Joe]

Not sure about Brook he has will have to travel to the states and fight Porter and Porter is just as good as Brook.

[Taansend]

I think we'll see a couple of new Heavyweight Champions. With Vitali gone & Wlad on the way out we'll see a return to the 80's with 3 defences being a long reign.

[Parson Cross]

Why do you think Brook will have to travel ?

[Glass Joe]

Eddie said in a IFL video interview that Brook would have to fight Porter in the states. i will have a quick look for it

Hopefully Carl Frampton can do it. The belfast fans deserve it

[expe]

Frampton, Groves and Butler are the fighters that stand out domestically in my eyes, but there's always the chance someone could come from nowhere.

[jessi]

Mitchell, groves and Frampton

[tear up]

Framptons the best bet got a feeling brooks falls at the last hurdle

[Bodyshot3]

Frampton and possibly DeGale as well; although the Bika fight is not nailed down and it comes with plenty of risk.

Still completely and hoplessly undecided about Froch-Groves; can't work out whether Froch is going to get more into the the zone physically and mentally, develop a proper gameplan with Rob M or just get old overnight and George takes the title and exploits the weaknesses to the full this time round.

Jamie Speight ........you cany forget the WBU (German Version)

[JayMc]

Groves
Keith Thurman
Degale
Brook
Frampton
Martin Murray
Jamie Mcdonell
Lee Selby ?
Wilder ?


I also think Frankie Gavin could win a world title tomorrow if you asked him to fight for it such is his natural ability.

[mickey1975]

Groves
Keith Thurman
Degale
Brook
Frampton
Martin Murray
Jamie Mcdonell
Lee Selby ?
Wilder ?

So we could have 7 possibly 8 champs?

[Mimmy]

Out of interest, which champions do you see some of these men, for example Brook, Selby and Gavin, beating?
