There's lots of time later on to get a Public Profile and be a celebrity.
Gavin should stay active, keep fighting every 6-8 weeks...
Kepp the head down for the rest of 2010 and the first 8 months of 2011. Maybe up the calibre of his opponents toward the end of next year.
In 2012, he should be looking for a British Title shot, (around his 20th fight).
Then maybe 4 or 5 title defences...
Then look at the Commonwealth title, win that. Get a few defences.
The European title is then the next thing, and he probably will win that when he's the finished article.
(around his 30th fight).
Gavin could win the commonwealth inside 15 fights in my opinion.
Froch did it in 11 fights, then added British in 13th fight.
Calzaghe did it in his 18th fight (British) but had a lot of outings in a short time frame.
Hatton did it (British) in about his 22nd fight, but again, had a lot of outings.

I don't disagree with you... But it's better not to rush these things.
The closer to the top a boxers gets, the less frequent he fights, (most World Champions only fight once/twice/thrice a year).
And right now, Frankie needs ring-time.

Why do you use this choice of phrase? Do you not believe in a free market where fighters are allowed the freedom to choose their business interests?
Also, if fighters are automatically 'doing a dirty' by leaving him, is he 'doing a dirty' on the fighters he's drops despite their loyalty to him? By your logice that is indeed the case.

He earns his marquee fighters good money and knows how to work his fighter into "world" title shots but he gas also been guilty if stifling his fighters and then they come up well short when matched with elite level guys.
