    Coming year might just be the biggest in British boxing ever.

    Khan might be unified champion in light welterweight

    Froch has a chance in super-middle

    and Haye in heavyweights

    I think that Khan has the best chances of these three, Froch might be an underdog against Ward (actually I´d like to see Froch humiliating Ward) and Haye is trying to move a mountain. What´s your thoughts?

    Froch, Khan, Haye and Burns will all fight for the lineal/ring titles this year.

    Chisora, Cleverly, Magee, Macklin, Rhodes, Brook, Matthew Hatton, Oleguseun, McCloskey, Murray, Munroe could all challenge for belts.

    How good would a photo be at the end of the year, at the Sport Personality awards off Froch, Khan, Burns and Haye in the middle with there Ring titles and either side of them 4-5 British fighters with belts.

    I think Froch and Haye are pretty likely to lose unfortunately. Possibly even Burns too if they fight a legitimate opponent instead of cherrypicking easy defences.

    Cleverly will probably pull one world title back though.

    Burns won't be doing any such thing on the evidence of his actual/proposed defences so far.

    the Fana fight is being set up for the summer outdoors which is why the next defence is a gimme.
