    Martinez if Hearn can get him over. otherwise Murry if he gets a decent win in the mean time.

    Sturm then Macklin,I think Murray is the best of the Brits so I would avoid him at moment.

    I think Barker could beat Murray if he didnt get dragged into a tea up.

    I think Barkers jab would caiuse Murray problems.

    Either Macklin or Murray, makes both business sense and also fights he can win, i'd fancy him vs Macklin but have him a slight underdog against Murray, whoever he fights there is a decent chance he will loose on his first defense, as someone said lets be real he isnt going to hold it for long unless he takes on complete nobodies, fight Macklin i would say and then Murray if he has a good win in the meantime, 2 fights he can win and will make a nice few quid

    No one at the elite level if he wants to keep that belt.

    I would fancy BJS to do Barker, maybe another 2 fights away though.

    Barker has to defend against Sturm, should be a routine defence as Sturm hasn't been looking that great for ages.
    Could get Macklin Murray on that card and winner fights Barker. Could be done with Hatton not really having a TV deal for Murray, surely? Money talks, and can't see Macklin's promoters standing in the way.

    Winners of those isn't going to be stadium but would be a great spectacle.
    Fairly sure it would be Barker Murray and that would be a class fight.

    A euro MW tournament with Macklin, Murray and Sturm. Minimum 3 fights, decent match ups, decent earnings for all 4 without going near GGG.

    Everyone forgetting the rematch clause in place with Geale? Or, the options Shaw now has on Barker. The Geale camp has already informally lodged an appeal with the IBF. The formal appeal will be on Darryl People's desk in under a fortnight. Shaw will give him Sturm but expect the IBF to rule the winner must face Geale within a specified period.

    I don't see it myself, think Barker would do a number on him. Not to mention the fight won't happen while BJS is with Frank.
