    I figured Howard Eastman would sneak a title.

    Spencer Oliver had the look of a potential champ.

    Chris Okoh looked to have real potential, and in a weak division I thought he would win a title.

    I thought Patrick Mullings was going to make the step up, also Richard Evatt.

    he was hyped a lot by itv at the time who showed his fights (billy swhwer)...they used to do long reports on his training sessions with him hitting a tennis ball on a piece of rope and how revolutionary it was :)...i got caught up in all that.

    after he bested paul burke in a rematch having lost the previous fight i thought he'd grab a world title belt....he did get a couple of shots...ruelas and stevie johnson.

    oh and adrianne bowes she sneaked past someone who took up boxing the week before but shes amazing fighter on par with jane Couch.

    Her being good looking has nothing to do with it, she went the distance with kevin johnson

    jon fry 1-8 and james child 0-7 are also a shoe in for a world title

    Paul Appleby

    Kid started off his career with a bang,looked awesome and won young fighter of the year really thought he would be a world champion.Ricky Burns was knocking around at the time but didnt really look impressive to me,I would have picked Appleby to have the more successful career but it all just seem to fall apart.Losses to Josef Laryea who was recently iced in one round and Martin Lyndsay really put a spanner in the works.

    Was certain if Jamie Moore had of gone back to ****** in the latter part of his career ****** would have gotten him a title shot CERTAINLY. And probably a very winnable one at home in the UK
