    I'd swap CEJ with BJS, Quigg with frampton, Crolla with Flanagan, Brook with Khan.

    I have Quigg in at super-bantam because Frampton has moved up to feather apparently?

    I would change Yafai for Butler, and Campbell for Crolla, know Me ft beat him but feel he has style to beat all the British Lightweights. Quigg v Frampton is a weird one as Carl pipped him in my eyes but Quiggs tactics I felt caused that.

    Only definite change I'd make would be MW. As much as I dislike the bloke, the Fury's lap dog is quite underrated. I hope Eubank successfully makes the step up in the much rumoured rematch supporting Fury/Klitschko II, as he's the more entertaining and exciting boxer. But for now BJS is definitely top dog.
    Hard to argue with DeGale as our only WC at SM but I still don't think I'll know how good he really is until a unification bout with Jack happens. Callum Smith would be a good shout if he beats Groves.
    I'd probably stick with Quigg at SB as I'd put my house on him winning a rematch, not that it will ever happen. His own conservatism and judge's general reluctance to score meh rounds as 10-10 lost him that fight. When it opened up he looked by far the better fighter and Frampton looked uncomfortable at times, sending numerous worried glances to his corner in the final quarter.

    That being said, I don't have a house. :|

    Burton looks green and one-dimensional. Ajisafe would box rings round him.

    I felt Quigg/Frampton could have gone either way and would possibly have favoured Quigg but the official result went to Frampton and he did work a bit more

    Frampton's supposed to have moved up to featherweight I think.
