    Someone just bet me that there would be zero world champs by December 2014.

    I figured there would be George groves and possibly carl frampton. Maybe brook and Murray. Jamie McDonnell vs Stuart hall maybe.

    There are not any now, so it seems you are hoping a bit...

    I will go for 3 champs. Groves- frampton- quigg (not fight each other this year) and for quigg not to fight anyone too dangerous.

    burns will be champ he will find a way to beat Crawford, froch will still be champ by the end of the year. Also quigg and definitely Frampton so I think its a great bet

    Much as I would like froch to knock out groves in a rematch I don't think groves will blow it again. Easy defences and groves would remain world champ by December 2014.

    Well if Froch and Groves fight thats 1 i'd lock down, also Frampton is likely, Burns who knows maybe. If i had to put a figure at the end of 2014 i'd say 3- 4 but i'd bet a ton that it will be at least 2.

    Froch will fight Groves so that's nailed on one will be. Hall/McDonnell/Butler will hold the IBF. Brook beats Porter but probably struggles with Thurman. Quigg will beat Kiko. Murray beats Sturm aswell.

    Another note why are people saying Frampton? He had the talent but he won't fight nor a belt this year

    Wondered the same.

    Even if it's just a tenner then it's safe to say you've as good as won.
