after that fantastic toe to toe war with skelton last night, where on earth can martin rogan go now?

he won the prizefighter tournament but looked short of stamina.

he pounded out a points victory over audley harrison with decent stamina, big heart and some finesse.

he has now 'toe to toe'd' with skelton in a contender for fight of the year already. his stamina looked ok, work rate was good, punch power was decent and his chin looks very good indeed.

seems a nice bloke too and its a bit of a fairytale story, a sort of 'rocky' scenario.

so what now...... sprott?

or dare we say it....... haye? haye looks short of an opponent, harrison and skelton were starting to appear on hayes radar to keep busy. and suddenly rogie has dissemboweled the pair of them.

so what about it fellas.....rogie v's sprott or haye next?

No10 Downing Street

Id imagine Rogan will probably be made one of the challengers for the now Vacant European title. No idea who would be the other challenger but Id guess Skelton, Vidoz, Sinan Samil Sam will be the ones in the frame.

Also whether Rogan wants the shot at the European title remains to be seen.

lots of fights out there

Skelton again for the euro (why the hell not )

Vidoz was going to retire

at domestic level....Sprott....Chisora...sexton....sosnowski....(i dont want Danny williams to fight anymore)

maybe even a chance at Chags ??? yes its crazy but its fun.

and the ultimate absurd circus would be Prizefighter Rogan getting sweet revenge on the blubbery Turk Samil Sam for wrecking Danny Williams (i need this )

I predicted Rogan would beat Harrison and Skelton and won money both times. I however think that Haye would smash him to pieces and Sprott would beat him if he turned up to want to win. (I think Sportt could have beat Skelton easy in the last fight but he wasn't interested)

He should fight Danny Williams for the British title. Saying that. If Danny Williams trains and is up for it (which won't happen) he'll beat Rogan. Rogan should go for the British title in hopes that Danny wont train or be interested which will more than likely be the case.

Rogan stepping into the ring and actually trying to win means he beats most of our domestic heavyweights.

my favourite fighter at moment, without doubt.

I am thinking Haye to be honest. beating Skelton and Harrison is enough in my opinion

Lets face it, he is not fighting the klitschkos this summer and could do with further raising his british profile

I think Rogan is the ultimate Rocky story and well promoted it could make for a good publicity spectacle.

Haye would blow him out in 1/2 rounds though.

Rogan - Valuev. He's been good against bigger guys lately!! DD

Get him in for the Euro

However my fear is that he is now tied to a certain promoter who is more likely to serve up a Commonwealth defence against McDermott

Is he tied to Fwank?

Surely Prize fighter/Matchroom have him?


I hope he is not with Fwank!

Frank loves his options, but I hope he is not with Frank.

Don King will want him after last night!

was thinking exactly the same great domestic fight they both seem to have decent followings atm maybe a little soon for fury though

Be a bit silly for Fury, not enough experiance. He needs at least another 6 fights before he gets in with "Rogie the Giant Killer".

definitely. ;;-)

its to early for Fury but something like this would bring him back down to earth.

In that case Fury should stop gobbing off.

Fury Vs Rogan? You mean a fight where Rogan is actually favourite?... I think I'lll bet against him

I'd like him to have a few more fights at domestic level to be honest. A rematch with Skelton would be great, even another with Audley would be okay. Danny Williams for the British title, McDermott, Chisora, Sexton? All decent matches, remember Rogan has only had 12 fights so no reason why he can't fight Sexton or Chisora.

But I'd happy see him and Skelton go at it again. Great fight last night!

Given his age and these so called recent upsets, just chuck him in for the Euro title next. If he wins, then give him his pay day against Haye or someone else of a decent level. Naturally I wouldn't expect Haye to want to fight Rogan for the Euro belt, but still, if Rogan can win that then he definitely deserves a nice pay day against someone. More power to him.

Well Skelton is Euro champ! Rematch perhaps but Haye needs an opponent, depends on whether Rogan is now tied to FW

well Rogie is red hot right now so stick him in with Valuev at Madison Square Garden. That would be a massive seller

Love Martin to Bits Absolute Class act, but Fury would Beat Him.

Really? bold statement that, i'd say Rogan would walk through him late on if it was a 8 or 10 rounder.
over a shorter distance than Fury may have a chance.

I wonder if there is an outside chance of Rogan being fast tracked into a world title shot?

The rags to riches, Belfast cab driver thing, and of course the Irish angle could be a sell in New York? Him and Duddy getting shots on the same card? Shame St Patricks day is in 2 weeks...

At 37, he needs to be fast tracked really. I think he would break Vidoz's heart if the fight was in the UK (who knows about the officiating in Italy)... get him an EBU title fight and see how it goes from there.

Not Haye though.

I'd like to see him fight Albert Sosnowski. Then he could go for a BIG fight.
