    Other than Super - middle this has to be our strongest division , by far!My rankings (based upon opinion not fact)1 - Crolla2 - Mitchell 3 - Campbell 4 - Burns 5 - Flannagan 6 - Mathews 7 - Cardle 8 - Coyle 9 - Murray 10 - BucklandBy end mid '15 I see Campbell as No.1 & Flannagan rising further.Crolla either rising further on the world scene or declining,dramatically.Cardle rising domestically til' he's clobbered then who knows.Also see a big year for Coyle.. However I see Mathews, Murray , Burns & Buckland all calling it a day - to be replaced by the likes of John Quigley, John Kays & possibly Mitchell Smith all from S.Feather

    Oh so he has, not too sure how he will do up there really - especially on the world scene, which has to be his aim!

    Crolla in bigger domestic fights? think it's fair to say he has his eyes firmly on World honours, recently ruled out a Mathews 3 , which would be by far the biggest draw available at LW I'd say.

    Flanagan will continue to develop, bare in mind he's only just won the Lonsdale - I'd imagine he'll win it outright before vacating for Campbell to take, if they don't meet themselves.

    Either way will be a big year for all three.
