    So I was thinking about this last night, anybody else think we're going to see some brilliant fights both domestically and with British fighters against world level guys in the next few years? Lets take a look at potential match-ups:
    Froch v Kessler II
    Groves v DeGale II
    Groves v Anderson II
    DeGale v Anderson
    Brook v Alexander
    Brook v Khan
    Brook v Hatton
    Hatton v Khan
    Price v Fury
    Price v Chisora
    Chisora v Helenius II
    Haye v Vitali
    Bellew v Cleverley II
    Munroe v Quigg
    Frampton v Munroe/Quigg and then potentially world level guys
    Barker on the comeback trail
    Ricky Burns v World level opponents
    PLUS prospects like Yafai and Eubank Jnr

    And I bet I've forgotten some pretty big names from that list.

    Anybody else really looking forward to the next few years? :bbb

    We could do with Burns and Cleverly stepping up the competition.

    I doubt that even half of those fights will happen. Not at a time that they should happen anyway.

    Promising time for British boxing for sure, but so much depends on the networks and promoters. The latter in particular could easily **** this up.
