    I think Froch deserves to have the big fight in Vegas he deserves. He can afford to drop the IBF belt at this stage of his career. I am not bothered about a Chavez fight and would worry about the judges scores. GGG would be the Vegas opponent for me.

    If he won he bow out in a monster revenge fight against Ward in July at the City Ground

    I would like Degale to have his IBF shot and if he gets through defend against Kessler

    Groves to fight Dirrell and then Kessler or Degale

    I would like to see Callum Smith avenge his brother against Abraham

    Fielding v P Smith

    Later in the year - Buglioni v Tom Baker is a good London grudge match

    I'd like David Brophy to beat them all, will he?
    Certainly could beat Baker and Buglioni now in my mind

    I doubt Buglioni will go much further then British and maybe European level but i'd take him right now to KO Brophy with ease.

    Brophy just doesn't have the power needed at SMW.

    i'd like gas out groves to fight degale again, i'd look forward to that alot, and yeah forget chavez jr, carl froch vs. gennady golovkin is just a fight that sets the imagination running wild.

    you don't always need power to win fights and I think he's in with a chance of ko of the year from his last fight, I'm sure David would be just too good too fast and to fit for Buglioni, let's face he's proved he's got dodgy whiskers David jaw is granite.
    Don't underestimate the Scots big man

    Hi Billy,

    I know at the lower weights power isn't the be all and end all but don't you think at SMW you really need to bang if your going to be at the top level

    I just hope Andre Ward returns to action so Froch isn't classed as number 1.

    Yeh CF should get his fight out in LV,but he'll not fight on after that.
    degale will win the IBF and will have a noddy defence here or there,until groves has a belt..then the two will meet at Wembley, with c smith as chief support defending the wbc silver hell of got by then.

    P smith will return to Germany in jan to fight AA again & I believe he'll be stopped early then retire.

    Domestic wise, buglioni will get found out again & eventually fizzle out.

    Brophy & blackledge both have potential on domestic scene also,but lack stopping power..

    And don't forget fielding,though he'll be at LH before long I think

    Would like to see Froch vacate because he deserves to have the fights he wants to have at this point in his career. Then have Degale vs Groves for the IBF title, then put C. Smith and Fielding in a final eliminator for the WBO title that AA has, then winner of that fights AA and then a unification with the IBF winner. I want Froch to fight Chavez in Vegas and then hopefully HBO make GGG a PPV star then make that fight either in Vegas or Maybe in England somewhere like Wembley if it is big enough.

    not at all, if you outwork and outbox the guy and not let your opponent plant his feet he won't get the power shots off

    Froch - Get his Vegas fight

    Groves - Beat Dirrell to become world champion, face Abraham in a unification fight. Sign off 2015 with a second pro win over Degale. Callum Smith early 2016.

    Degale - Win a world title, set his sights on a rematch with Groves.

    Paul Smith - Get his rematch with Abraham.

    Callum Smith - Continue down his route, facing fighters that will give him something to think about and therefore improve him as a fighter. Face the winner of the Groves/Degale in all British world title bout. Would like to see him v Rocky Fielding asap.

    Froch gets his Vegas farewell vs Chavez then retire

    Degale to fight Gilberto Sanchez

    Groves to fight Dirrell

    Then maybe either fight AA unification or even Degale VS Kessler Groves VS AA winners meet.

    Paul or Callum Smith VS Rocky Fielding.

    Only way I would like to see Groves Degale is a champion vs champion. Both have tough looking fights
