Probably, he's fit enough and has the right contacts to get him the win he craves?

With the right opponent at the right time, I see no reason why he can't

If he sells enough tickets and generates enough interest, an unknown African can always be found.
I haven't seen anything yet to put him anywhere near Curtis Woodhouse's standard, but his record is so padded it is hard to make a judgement.
I feel he is approaching area level, but domestic championship standard is a huge step up, he would last around with the Smith brothers.

His last 2 wins have been step up's of sort towards some sort of title level
How do you think he would fair vs either Cameron or Smyle?

I think Frank Bugoloni would be a reasonable fight but I doubt he would win.

I don't think so. He's in a division with to many good fighters in.
He's done well to get to area level.

Frank fell well short in his world title challenge, a fight versus Leon for the Commonwealth would be a good bout for him and would sell really well.

I wouldn't fancy his chances against buglioni, Markham, blackledge or fielding.
Like I said, it would have to be the right opponent.

I wouldn't fancy his chances, if he fought someone British, he would have to fight someone decent, Tobias Webb would beat him handily.
I missed Bugaloni moving up, but the fight could be made, I imagine Leon would take a title shot whoever it was against, it would also make real good sense for the opposing corner too.
I think Frank would be about the weakest Brit who would be eligible for a title shot, esp one who has the backing to put the show on.
Has Goodwin got enough pull to get McKenzie a lame duck for the shot?

Because he's got a great back story, his uncles and his premiership career... Sky love all that carry on.
