It's still Macklin vs Barker for me. Or what about Tyson Fury vs David Haye And one already signed I'm looking forward to is Jamie McDonnell vs Stewie Hall.
Stephen Smith v Joe Murray would be a good one. Surely a title that would go under the radar would be the appearance of the British Crusierweight belt. 18months and still no appearance of it.
top domestic fights for the new season would be Fury vs Price, Cleverly vs Bellew,Groves vs Anderson 2, Barker vs Macklin, Quigg vs Frampton are obviously the standouts but I think these would be ones that might fly under the radar. Jeffries vs McIntosh, BJ Saunders vs Paul Smith, Selkirk vs Cox, Purdy vs El Maachi.
No, that's not what I said. It's the easiest out of the fights listed. For what it's worth I'd give Haye a fair chance at beating Vitali.

Dave Ferguson has retired cos he couldnt get the fights. Interesting none of the participants in the next Prizefighter are in your light-middleweight rankings.
Thanks for the rankings. Somebody put Choi on the list! Vassell v Purdy appeals. Mitchell v Murray rematch is another not to be forgotten. Price v Fury is a natural, a beauty. There are a lot. Next week I will pull them all together and we will have a non-stop 60-minute show. Nobody does it like this and it is you and all the other nutcases on here and other sites that make it special. Adios and thanks.
It's not the f****** sea air! I only had four rain-drenched days of it before throwing in the towel! I'm home!! I'm in a good mood because I've got a vodka and cranberry or two or three or four and I'm at a great big family wedding in Hampstead tomorrow - the one good thing about getting back early. Adios.
