    If only Paul Smith had waited an extra few days before accepting the Groves fight.....

    I doubt he has it in him to even try and make middleweight these days. He tried hard not to make it when his career was on the up.

    If Paul Smith stays at Super Middleweight to fight George Groves it really does leave it wide open.

    Barker, Macklin & Murray all above that level. Mendy looks to be staying to 168 to.

    Its leaves a very very weak division where you would expect Saunders to clean up.

    I think you might be right in all fairness but he had continued to state right up until the fight at the weekend he wanted a shot at the British at middle.

    I went to the weigh in for the Samuels fight and even though it was a middleweight fight he weighed in at 166.5.

    Ochieng is fighting Rose for the English light middleweight title. Due to the lack of options id rather see a British title fight and a separate Commonwealth title fight and the 2winners of that to meet.

    Is McEwan legible to fight for it? If so, he should be given the opportunity.

    Nick Blacwell needs to move down to 154. I would not mind seeing Billy Jo Saunders vs Mcewan for the british title.
