    How could you possibly leave out Tyson Fury, "The Fightin' Man"?

    I'm sure that was just an oversight.

    From your list you can forget Quigg, McDonnell and Saunders from being the guy to really spearhead British boxing, as good as they all are they do not have the likability or marketability to be the top guy. AJ is likely to be the one, Fury has a chance but feel he is probably not quite good enough to be at the top for a long time, Campbell might not have the personality to do it, Brook maybe and lets not forget Khan.

    Do not underestimate the Sky hype machine. Took a bloke in Froch that was fighting on Saturday Grandstand to fighting in front of 80k at Wembley.

    People are sheep.

    Kell Brook and Amir Khan are the main men now. Joshua, Campbell and Selby will soon be right at the top also.

    Khan? The guy who can't sell out arenas in Sheffield and for whom thousands of tickets are given away for free in the States?

    Back on topic!! ;-) I'd like to think it will be the likes of Scott Quigg and Kell Brook as they are fighters I have always followed from the beginnings of their professional careers. However, Khan, Fury x2, Degale and Frampton are no doubt in the mix too!!
