    Of the current belt holders, how many do you think can keep the belt/belts for a while? An who?

    For me, Degale has the best chance to unify super middle just because its a fairly weak division at the minute and no one really stands out.

    Special K could also become no1 welter post may/pac

    Thanks mate, really interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.

    Degale doing good so far, an happy to fight in peoples backyard, Brook was great v Porter, but not really tested since due to injury, hope he does though

    Brook v Chaves would've been a good step up but looks like he'll be fighting Bizier next :think hopefully he fights a Khan/Garcia/Thurman after

    DeGale vs Jack unification would be interesting to

    Agree I think with no ward and ggg unlikely to step up degale could rule the smw division easy.

    IMO Flanagan beats most of the U.K. Lightweights and could do a job on linares so he could keep his.

    Fury could reign for good 2 years or so.

    McDonnell because he has already beat the best and is in a weak division.

    Expect Frampton to beat Quigg go on and beat donire and an ageing rigo.

    Thanks Bensub, appreciate your opinion, was hoping more posters would have got involved in this thread.

    Think you are right with your shouts, except Flanagan, as Derry wins.
    After that Terry can rule the world for years :good :bbb

    DeGale for me, he's the clear current #1 at his weight. Also McDonell, who is helped by a fairly lackluster division. Outside of those two I think they're all there for the taking eventually

    Get one thing straight though, being a world champ and being a belt holder are two very different things nowadays.

    Honestly, as much as I dislike him, James DeGale has done so well, and can keep goin. He went a bit under the radar after the Groves fight, and looks like he's had the last laugh.
