    9 would be nice.

    When's the last time we had 9 at one time? Anyone?

    Just before Calzaghe retired possibly think we had around 9 then but I wouldn't be certain on that

    Would have said that about Bute. What other options does Dawson have?

    Different dynamic to Froch Bute.


    I think Dawson would make Bellew go there

    How so? Bute sold 16,000 tickets for routine defences. Dawson sells 10 tickets.

    You could do it at the MEN, 2am to suit US TV.

    Bute camp thought Froch was done and it provided a good audience for them in what they viewed as an easy fight. His first big name opponent and they thought it would be a walk over.

    Cannot see Dawson agreeing to coming here

    Dawsons team could watch Bellew and see easy money. They have to fight him so might as well do it for as much $$$ as possible.

    Could go to purse bids and Hearn wins. Dawson wont vacate as he is irrelivent without a belt, if he does Bellew gets a vacant title fight.

    We'll see mate. Personally cannot see Dawson coming here, more likely, to co headline a bill with this fight in the US imo.

    I thinks its too close to call but give Carl "i'm gonna keep repeating I'm a warrior in any interview" Froch the home advantage.

    It's all about the $$$ Dawson doesn't sell tickets anywhere. He isn't going to vacate so if an agreement can't be reached Eddie just needs to win te purse and then he will have to travel

    I can't quite work it out, but we seemed to have a lot in 1993 looking at this

    We have got no Generally recognized 'World Champions' now and I doubt we will by years end.

    This is not 100% British boxing's fault, but the fault of the sport itself. Until something is done to make clearer to casual fans who the 'World Champions' are, boxing will suffer.
