Does Ochieng sell enough tickets to bring in a good name from abroad ? If he does that will be the best bet, but I am sure Hearn would have got him a shot at an IBF International title by now if he did or made a big offer for Cox, personally I don't think he would want to risk losing a shot at the british or commonwealth against some of the fighters above, Rose will vacate the british if he beats Webb, then they will be a rush for it, unless someone already has something in place.

Cox fight for WBO Inter. has been cancelled so cox vs ochieng will be 1st choice then the other options will have to wait until this fight definatley not happening 2nd option will be international or intercontinental. Hearns has made it clear from the start if he can, Ochieng will not be fighting for the English again so all the other fighters you have mentioned will have to wait like Al Harbi & Pryce. Boxers like O'mera will not be interested in Eng belt his waiting for British or commonwealth as Cox and O'meara both FW camp and FW likes to keep things in house so it's all IF'S BUT'S AND MAYBES.

I can remember him years ago in the ABA's; if he's getting in with Erick then I hope he's match fit and had some real hard spars or he'll spoil his record; he were lucky last time out and whatever problems he's got out the ring need to get sorted else i'll be a shame for him and us fans.

Cox vs Ochieng would be good but will FW let this happen?

Jamie must defend against Obodai Sai. Why should Jamie box Eric ? No gain whatsoever

He might not be with FW (which i'm not sure about) but still has to fight Sai for the commonwealth in Ghana thats why he tried to get a pop at the WBO Inter. title

Mervyn, Jamie refused the WBO inter which I thought was a bad move but ultimately Jamie's decision. Jamie doesn't have to do anything other than please himself & I will always have his back.

It could be possible that Ochieng gets to fight the winner on Prizefighter. All things are possible!

Ishe Smith is a really good fighter, might be too good and too much money, always been on the verge of something big, without quite getting there.

sucracristo wrote:sorry to revive a dead thread, but if smith isn't currently ranked, how can he be scheduled to challenge for k-9's IBF title in february? is there some contender magic happening at the IBF? i thought you had to defend against the top contender, and then anyone else in the top 10, within a year of winning the title. i haven't seen anybody put his title on the line against an unranked fighter in a long time, especially against someone who has a decent chance at winning. It's an extra defence of your title against a worthy challenger in addition to the 2 mandatories that you don't have to make. maybe there is tv $$ in it?
