which british fighters are most likely to win their first world title in the next 2 to 3 years? Candidates: Ola Afolabi Nathan Cleverley Matthew Macklin Darren Barker Craig McEwan Jamie Moore Ryan Rhodes Matthew Hall Kell Brook Paul McClosky John Murray Amir Khan Kevin Mitchell Paul Appelby Rendall Munroe Ian Napa ....or someone else...?
i disagree...i dont think he's world champ material.. and thats not saying he isnt good...he is obviously good..but, for me, not THAT good.
Candidates: Ola Afolabi - could do in his next fight but dont see him holding it for long or at all Nathan Cleverley - got alot of potential but i would like to see how he fares against Euro. opp before i say anything Matthew Macklin - euro maybe Darren Barker - high chance Craig McEwan - very high chance i think maybe best british fighter Jamie Moore - maybe a title shot and a lucky win against an old champ but not holding it long but wish he could Ryan Rhodes - get a shot but be a nearly man Matthew Hall - no to limited skill wise Kell Brook - again want to see him in euro class but has a high chance Paul McClosky - dont know alot about him John Murray - fair chance, me and mcallsiter was speaking about this, he needs to move his head more and use more angles then he has a real chance Amir Khan - probably a WBO until he fights a puncher then no more title Kevin Mitchell - very good chance Paul Appelby - would like to see euro. level Rendall Munroe - i think so if he keeps improving Ian Napa - hope he can
I think there are a few there, I think the following are the most likely to get world title shots in the next three years. Khan Napa Munroe Cleverly Brook Afolabi However, these are the few that I think will be able to hold onto a world title. Khan Cleverly Brook Although, talking about three years into the future is hard, as things in boxing chnge quickly.
Probably not at SBW; that division is as packed as hell. He could at FW; that division is as barren as the Sahara.
The sad thing is I can't say I'm confident about any of these winning a world title! The only one that stands out to me as having better than 50/50 chance is McCloskey. If he was matched against Kotelnik I see him winning for example.
khan or mitchell because they are with the best promoter, allot of the others are not even world ranked like barker. afolobi is not british.
Cleverly. Mitchell, Moore and Murray are ones to keep an eye on as well. Khan obviously the most likely to get a title shot.
