    I would imagine that 2011 has proved to be a rather chaotic year at Allegedly HQ. The beginning of the year Matthew Macklin parted ways with FW Promo. In April Kell Brook left the FW stable to join Matchroom.

    In May we witnessed Degale being out skilled by Groves resulting in the loss of the Commonwealth belt. Performance by Cleverly in May against Kuziemski proved rather concerning. Cleverly still getting hit too many times for my liking. I found myself wondering what the outcome would have been if those blows had been delivered by Braehmer. Frankie Gavin outings also proved to be not of his usual quality, although this is something that the boxer has recognised and since moved to different location and gym.

    September there was the Cox incident, which I cant imagine FW would have been overly pleased with, even with his fighter being announced the winner and the new belt holder.

    Most recently, one of FW top prospects Stephen Smith, lost by knock out. A result which came as a surprise to the majority.

    Taking all this on board, do you think FW will change tact with his stable and start testing them sooner in order to assess their ability? Or do you think he will protect his fighters more?

    Also, what do you see the future holding for Degale, Cleverly, Gavin, Cox & Smith?

    you missed Chisora losing out on the Klitscko fight and then coming in fat and losing to Tyson Fury a fight he should have won.

    Smith can come back and ****** can get some good fights out of Selby too. If Box Nation proves successful it will really help Fwank with all the extra TV dates he can have and he'll become the promoter everyone wants to sign with. if it fails then so will his business, unless he abandons it and goes crawling back to Sky.

    Agree that if BoxNation is a success it will prove beneficial to all fighters. I have no doubt that Smith will come back, and Selby is going to be exciting to watch, I look forward to follwoing his career. Any thoughts on the others?
