    If it's a unification fight, absolutely.

    If they are both world champs, it makes the fight massive. Most casuals thought Froch was the number one SMW when anyone with any knowledge knew he'd been schooled by Ward.

    That's the power of sky sports and its ability to brain wash.

    Two Brits fighting for world titles is all they'll see and care about.

    In that case they might as well have put Brook v Gavin at Wembley? :think

    What people forget the card will be well stacked by spring next year AJ could be in a good position and possibly fighting someone like David Price or Derek Chisora in the co feature.
    which overall will sell it well.

    Alternatively Kell Brook although I can't see all 3 fights by this time next year all of degale, groves, aj, brook will think their superstars in there own right and want millions so probably one solid co feature to the main event.

    Yeah obviously if they have Froch v someone, Frampton v Quigg, Khan v Brook, Fury v Joshua as co feature it has a good chance but those type of fights main event on their own and aren't co features

    You probably be more realistically looking at something like Scott Quigg v Jamie McDonnell or Kevin Mitchell v Anthony Crolla as chief support acts

    I'm surprised they didn't attempt that. :D

    Having a complete mismatch is different to having a unification fight between two of the best in Britain at their weight.
