I believe the following will pick up a world title next year:
George Groves
Chris Eubank Jr
Liam WIlliams
Callum Smith
Liam Walsh
Kid Galahad (I really hope he doesn't though)
Andrew Selby
but I think the following have a good chance of losing there's:
Tony Bellew
Kell Brook
Billy Joe Saunders
Nathan Cleverly
Carl Frampton
Sorry I am bored at work and trying to pass the time lads.

George Groves will never win a world title. That was set in stone the moment Froch got back up

What makes you say that?
He has already beaten Degale, would be the favourite against Chudinov and only lost a split decision against Jack?
Who knows what a Groves under McGuigan could do?

Haye will get a world title next year..
Say what you want about him but he is a king of marketing and going to correct route to a title

Being marketed on Dave doesn't pay world title money.

Liam Walsh looks nailed on. Wouldn't be surprised if Groves finally gets a title either but equally I wouldn't be surprised if he got beat again.

Eubank Jr?
Surely you need to at least get in the ring with someone in order to win a title.

I'll go against the grain and say Andrew Selby will struggle, Yafai has a decent chance against Concepcion but it's far from a given (more a case of what El Nica has left.given his career)

I've got a funny feeling this time in 12 months GGG will have vacated, why? I don't know.
But if he beats Billy Joe I'm sure he will move u after conquering, then again he has always got the Canelo fight so maybe he won't.

So making one million on Dave doesn't pay workdvtitke money ? I'm sure most world champions would disagree with you there.

Which of the champs is Walsh nailed on to beat (and of course he actually has to get the fight)?

He is mandated to fight Pedraza ( who beat Stepehen Smith) but I think Pedraza may move up vacating the belt.
Walsh is a good shout IMO

To win one
Liam Walsh ( Vacant IbF)
Liam Williams (vacant WBO)
Josh Warrington ( vacant WBC)
Jamie McDonnell ( I think he may be given the WBA title Raushee Warren has as the later has ducked the fight )
Groves ( he can beat De Carolis easily )
Amir Khan ( mandated to fight DSG he has a chance there)
To lose
Saunders ( to GGG)
Bellew ( to Breidis)
Burns ( to Broner or a semi decent light welter)

And that's 90% of the whole shows budget. Any defending champion will want 75%.

Think he would beat Pedraza and Sosa (and he definitely beats Stephen Smith if he gets there first). Klassen for the IBO if that counts as world champion.

Since burning his bridges with Warren, Juniors only chance is if GGG moves up, but he will only move up for a big money fight and there is no money at super middle since Froch retired.
Unless Ramiez's profile explodes over night and he becomes mexicos poster boy, which will only happen if Canelo loses.
Its all conjecture anyway, 12 months is a long time and boxing is an unpredictable creature, who knows what might happen?

Say what you want about Warren but he has a knack of timing his fighters rise through the ranks perfectly
