Just seen Eddie Hearn Tweet about getting the lightweights together.
"The lightweight division is definitely the best in the UK right now..should we put a tournament together for the elite?" (@EddieHearn)
That would be amazing;
Rees
Crolla
Matthews
Coyle
Cardle
Woodhouse
Flannigan
Gethin
Walsh
Munroe
Harrison
Hughes
What do you think then winner faces Burns?

Re: UK Lightweights
what happened to that Scottish southpaw who won one of the early prize fighters?
Re: UK Lightweights
Love the idea of a knockout tournament, but the winner getting a shot at Burns? I don't think Burns will have the belt in 18-24 months time.

Ryan Brawley? Lost a while back to Stuart Green and not been back since. I think work commitments aswell as injury has kept him out. Don't think hel be bk.Autobarn wrote:what happened to that Scottish southpaw who won one of the early prize fighters?
Re: UK Lightweights
Enough names there for three or four not to fancy it, and it still be a cracking tourny.

Looks good to me.. Is Munroe at lightweight now? I don't think anybody on that list would not fancy it. Hope Eddie didn't just tweet this for the sake of it.. Lets see it backed up

As long as he keeps fighting the same quality of opponents such as his next fight and keeps avoiding the broners/gamboas then I can not see why he wouldent be champ untill then

Munroe posted a pic of himself on twitter at 9.9 he said to Dave Caldwell hell be fighting at sf in septMarkMcBurney wrote:Maxi.expe wrote:Hughes?

Re: UK Lightweights
I do like Burns and he is a good champion, but if he comes up against an elite guy he will be in trouble and I think people will demand that from him in 2 years time and he will lose.rio wrote:billy nelson wrote:Your right he will have a Light Welter Weight one!!!!WelshJack wrote:Love the idea of a knockout tournament, but the winner getting a shot at Burns?

Re: UK Lightweights

Re: UK Lightweights
...and then by the time this tournament was over (18-24 months) Luke Campbell should be ready for these guys' level and in the mix!
