Do you think we will ever see the times again when British "Rivals" will face each other with any regularity?

There are so many mouthwatering fights that can be made, but I just don`t see it happening. The last one I can remember was De Gale v Groves (maybe Haye v Chisora)

Price v Fury, Eubanks jr v Billy Joe Saunders, Barker v Macklin, Brook v Khan, Quigg v Frampton, Rose v Selkirk, Ryder v Etches, Gavin v Vassell, Galahad v Walsh, Yafai v Haskins are all fights I would love to see, but can`t see them happening.

I remeber Benn v Watson was early in their careers and Lewis v Mason. Proper fights that you woukld really get up for. I`m not saying all of those above would be in the same league, but at least it would be a fifty fifty fight that we could get up for.

I`m bored of wtahcing fights where with 90% certainty I know the result before it starts.

Sort it boys. Sort it quickly.

The answer is simple.
Put in brackets at the side of each match up where the lads are Promoted / Managed.
All different.
This is when boxing always converts from sport to business and that's why they won't happen.

I think me an vassel is gonna happen we both want it.. An its a good fight an should happen probably next who knows

I hope so. Both unbeaten, both hold titles, both coming to win!

Joe Selkirk fights Gary O'Sullivan next on April 12th - thats a good fight i think!

I think It's gonna happen but mostly in the Cruiserweight division.

Wadi Camacho Vs China Clarke ( this Saturday )
Chris Keane (Beat) Shane McPhilbin ( in jan )
Wadi Camacho Vs Matty Askin ( set for April )
Chris Keane Vs a top opponent ( I can't name yet has waiting for definite date & venue, set for April )
Jon Lewis Dickinson Vs Mike Stafford ( set for April )

The only lads out of the mix or i havent heard of being allocated a top fight so far is Tony Conquest, Danny Price & Stephen Simmons lets hope they can all agree a fight for very soon against each other. Then all the top 10 lads will be fighting it out at domestic level which is very rare in today's climate, this is exactly what boxing needs. At last the Cruiserweight division is becoming lively and by the current looks of things could soon be the most exciting domestically with all these fights due to be taking place and the addition of talented lads like Deion Jumah & Simon Vallily

Spit it out Frankie, what's the crack ?

I smell a clue...

I don't get why our middleweights have been allowed to avoid each other. Their promotional situation isn't unmanageable yet they are in a position to create a legacy along the lines of Benn, Eubank and Watson. It's getting close to the time where those fights will become irrelevant and the opportunity will be wasted.

I'd say Murray v macklin gets the juices flowing as there is needle there.
Ryder like Saunders is way above Eubanks!
