    With Billy Joe Saunders set to vacate the British title soon how about a British title tournement involving some of the young fighters in the divison. You can seed the undefeated fighters in Ryder, Eubank Jnr, Selkirk & Etches. Put the fights as openers on Sky card.

    John Ryder v Nick Blackwell
    (English Middleweight)

    Chris Eubank Jnr v Ryan Aston
    (Southern Area Middleweight)

    Joe Selkirk v Eamon O'Kane
    (10x3 Middleweight)

    Adam Etches v Prince Aaron
    (Central Area Middleweight)

    In the next round both fights will be 12 round final eliminators, then a final for he vacant title. If theres any problems there plenty of fighters that could come in. After at least 2 live fights on Sky the finaliats will be pretty big names. John Ryder v Chris Eubank Jnr would be a dream final.

    I saw an interview with him sayin he wanted to win it outright and I'm pretty sure the fight with Ryder has gone to purse bids with match room pickin it up

    After the super 6 this sort of idea has gone from borderline joke to actually doable, and marketable. I wld love to see it. It also aint a PF type lineup where it can be deemed a bit of a farce/joke. These are all fights that wld bring these lads on a touch

    Aston/Eubank would be a great fight.

    I really rate Aston. Kid is a beast on his best day.

    They are good fights, although I'd rather see Ryder v Saunders happen next.

    If BJS vacates it will be a duck of Ryder, he seems to have some bollocks I don't think he'll vacate.

    Jog my memory; What was the stoppage over? An injury or a legit punch etc?

    Nice idea but BJS seems intent on fighting Ryder.

    With any other FW fighter you'd expect them to roll over and do as told (ie: vacate and fight Paul Smith for the 168lb Lonsdale :lol:) but certain rumours lead you to believe BJS would get his own way. :hey

    Regardless of BJS involvement it'd be a good set of matchups even without his involvement.

    So long as no one calls it a "tourney" i'm onboard. :good
