    I'd be happy if any of them actually fought each other.

    At the minute i think its

    Macklin
    Barker
    Murray
    Saunders
    Hope

    Saunders has huge potential though and would probably take a fight with Murray now.

    Always overlooked because he fights in America but he's up there with the best in Britain, I'd back him to beat anyone over here.

    Still no contact with use Billy?

    I think right now Darren Barker, but Joe-Saunders has the biggest upside

    I fear Murray could get really left-behind now. No Sky deal, doesn't appear to be a massive ticket seller so not sure what Hatton can do for him in the short-term. Sky not showing his last fight will hurt as well. You can feel the momentum being sucked out of his career.

    Just shows how Sky can further your chances though. I don't think Barker is much, if any, better than Murray but I believe he is headlining Ali Pali in early September. Best Murray could hope for in the UK (unless he fights one of the other guys) is maybe an International title at a leisure centre in St Helens.
