    What UK fighters do you guys see win/defend legitimate worldtitle belts this year? (at least once)
    Legitimate in my opinion means the real Championship belts from either WBA/C/O and IBF, with the exception of the IBF and WBC "interim" but only if it means the actual Champ vacates.

    Not legitimate in this thread.
    WBA "interim" or "regular" when there's a "Super" champ in place.
    WBC "silver", "diamond".
    WBO "interim".
    IBO (wich is decent, but not enough).
    WBF, WBF (2), IBA, ,GBO, WBB, NBA, NFL, NHL, ATP, WTA and all them other boards I didn't think of.


    My list:
    Carl Frampton
    Carl Froch
    Kell Brook
    Ola Afolabi
    Paul Butler

    Brook
    Frampton
    Callum Smith (I expect him to face Abraham after Paul loses)
    Froch
    Butler
    McDonnell (He'd beat Caballero and Yamanaka)
    Degale or Groves (both will beat Dirrell; it's a matter of who, if any, faces him first)
    Murray or BJS (Whoever manages to face Lee will beat him)]

    Frampton IBF*
    Quigg WBC
    Froch WBA super once ward is stripped*
    McDonnell WBA/WBO*
    Selby IBF*
    Crolla WBO
    Mitchell WBC or IBF*
    Fury WBC
    Butler IBF*
    Murray WBC or IBF
    Brook IBF
    Khan WBC/WBA if he gets mayweather fight
    Degale IBF*
    The ones with * are ones I definitely think will happen other I think will happen but depends on fights they get. For example Crolla could beat Juan Diaz if Crawford steps up but if not he gets smashed by Crawford

    think groves has a decent chance of beating dirrell in there too, paul smith has a chance against AA based on the first fight.

    can't believe nobodys mentioned tony bellew :think

    Would have mentioned Bellew but he seems like he wants the Huck fight and I give him very little chance in that. I kinda did my list based on fights that people have mentioned and the ones that the fighters themselves have stated as their preferred route.
