Heavyweight's the obvious answer, anyone have a preference?

I think light welterweight (super lightweight) is extremely exciting talent wise, if we matched our top 30 guys in that division I'd love to see the resulting wars.

Different levels as well, Burns undoubted the only world level guy, but Ohara and Taylor looking to emulate Ricky.

Catterall and Robbie Davies Jnr possibly a level below those lads? Tyrone Nurse is one of my favourite fighters personally, brings style and excitement to the ring!

Got some gate keepers like Tommy Coyle, Lenny Daws and Martin Gethin. Respectfully I say this, I just feel those lads have probably seen the best of their careers but who knows?

Got lads like Tom Farrell, Josh Leather and Jason Easton to name a few that are prospects with things to prove this year.

Willie Limond comes under gatekeeper as well, Glen Foot? So many names, many potential fights.

Anyone you like?
Any fights you fancy?

140 for me. Would love to see Taylor in with that mouth piece Davies. I hope Matthews does him next time out but that probably won't happen.

Catterall v Nurse is a good fight also.

Catterall/Nurse happening after their next fights?

Could even add Eubank Jnr and Jamie Cox into the fold.

Not heard anything mate but you'd think the board would be forcing the issue sooner rather than later so possible. Fingers crossed.

I know Catterrall pulled out after purse bids were called because he changed trainers. Ohara Davies ducked the fight after purse bids were called.

I've said before the board should do the right thing and let Tyrone keep the belt and he fighters above British level. He needs one mandatory defence and two have pulled out

I would say 140 and I did a thread on this a few weeks ago when Robbie Davies fought.

Loads of lads similar age and level but will they fight each other ???

I don't usually agree with that but if he's willing to defend it and guys are pulling out then fair enough

heavyweight best cruiserweight worst although some of the heavies would be best advised to move down and improve their chances and the lighter division.

They've done a fantastic job of avoiding each other so far but I see Nurse-Catterall in the summer then a few of them meeting afterwards.

Literally stfu. BOTH smiths? Paul? The butt of jokes quite rightly. Possibly one of the most disliked going by forums and social media and podcast comments

He hasn't made super middleweight in two years FFS

Depends how you interpret the question.. Domestically I would say Super Feather.. Got quite a lot of guys established and a few coming through.. We have at Domestic level.. Martin J Ward..Maxi Hughes.. Anthony Cacacae.. Ronnie Clark...James Tennyson.. Zelfa Barrett... Mitchell Smith.. George Jupp... Sam Bowen.. Andy Townend.. Leon Woodstock.. Boy Jones.. Lewis Paulin.. Jordon McCrorry.. James Fryers and Michael Roberts Jnr. Take into consideration John Simpson is on the comeback trail and Stephen Smith could fight some of these lads.. This division is buzzing.. Tons of good fights to be made domestically..

As for best Domestic weight I would say Super Middle or Heavyweight

Yeah mate my question was are they fighting after they fight their next fights? Catterall vs Gethin and Nurse vs Hughes.

I'm hoping gethin wins, he's good mates with a couple of friends of mine. I was out in Berlin with my mates just before crimbo when he won the last fight which he took on 8 days notice and they were all buzzing for him. Think he was bought in as a bit of a live underdog but ko'd the other guy. Wouldn't the winner of gethin v catteral be in line for a shot at provodnikov?

No, they should keep giving him mandatory challengers until one of them agrees to fight him.

I don't see why the board can't give him a new mandatory every month if necessary.

Father weight deserves a shout...

Frampton, Selby, Quigg, Galahad

Wouldn't put Ohara Davies close to the top, he's not done anything to justify it, Scarpa was poor and people forget, he was brought over to lose against John Wayne Hibbert. For me, there's not a standout super-lightweight at the moment, a lot of the lads are at a similar level and it will be interesting to see how they're moved on in the next 12 months.

he's just lulling the division into a false sense of security before mounting his next assault for glory

If he can beat Derry with a bit in hand he'll be deserving.

Hasn't he got a fight coming up? Or is Hearn still looking? Fuckin' embarrassing if he gets a title shot. If he's game to have a retirement fight against someone like Fielding or even one of the lights heavyweight prospects than I won't be mad, but no more shit from him.
