This past year has paved the way for a massive 2015 Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko - WBO/WBA/IBF Heavyweight Tony Bellew vs Marco Huck - WBO Cruiserweight James Degale vs Carl Froch - IBF/WBA Supermiddleweight George Groves vs Anthony Dirrell - WBC Supermiddleweight Paul Smith vs Arthur Abraham - WBO Supermiddleweight Billie Joe Saunders vs Andy Lee - WBO Middleweight Martin Murray vs Gennady Golovkin Kell Brook vs Amir Khan - IBF Welterweight Anthony Crolla Vs Richard Abril - WBA Lightweight Scott Quigg - WBA Super Bantamweight Carl Frampton - IBF Super Bantamweight Jamie Mcdonell - WBA Bantamweight how many brits do you see winning world honors?
No guarantee Degale vs Froch or George Groves vs Anthony Dirrell will happen. Brook vs Khan ''could'' happen. Of course Eddie Hearn is raving about it. If Froch vacates his IBF belt then Degale fights Andre Dirrell which is a very tough fight for both and hard to call. Marco Huck hasn't really been enthusiastic about fighting Bellew. I'm not sure if that will happen. Wladimir Klitschko knocks out Fury in 7 rounds or less. I think Degale would beat Froch by decision with some scares on the way if they fight. If George Groves fights Anthony Dirrell i see him knocked out or losing a close split decision. If Bellew fights Huck he gets knocked out or loses a points decision. Paul Smith vs Arthur Abraham is 50/50 and hard to call. Andy Lee knocks out Saunders after 9 rounds. Kell Brook vs Amir Khan is 50/50 but i lean towards Khan. I tihink Richar Abril beats Crolla fairly comfortably. If Quigg fights Frampton i see him being knocked stopped. Quigg isn't that good. Jamie Mcdonell loses if he fights Kameda. So no real guarantees except for the british vs british fights.
Paul Butler will be a super-flyweight world champion in 2015. Saunders would beat Lee so I expect him to win a belt. Murray if he faces Lee will win and pick up a belt. People are overrating Lee because he sparked a hypejob when really, he isn't that great. He has good power though. Crolla has a chance of beating Abril who isn't that good. If Crolla doesn't do it, I expect Mitchell to do it later in the year. Frampton will take Rigo's belt off him before the year is out. Selby will win a world title before the year is out. Callum Smith will beat Abraham after his brother loses since I can't see Paul beating Abraham. Groves vs Dirrel is 50/50 can't decide between them. Depends how Dirrel approaches the fight and depends on whether Groves can stick to his game plan.

Im just happy to see we have a large number of world level fighters, its pretty refreshing to see Boxing pick up again in the public eye and hell who knows a few guys may pull off some upsets. No one expected Kell Brook to beat Porter for the welterweight crown so never count them out. Personally I think Abril/Crolla will be a pretty good fight as will Groves/Degale vs the Dirrells with the Brits bringing home the gold . . . . that is assuming Groves can put his head together after the Froch loss. He should never have left Adam Booth in my opinion
amir khan may get a shot at Floyd too. K mitchells fighting an eliminator so could be in the lw mix think Selby has a decent chance against gradovich, at fw. don't think degale will fight froch, that ibf will be vacated and degale will fight for the vacant title vs ramierez murray will lose vs GGG, but j taylor's a sitting duck for his middleweight belt, and think murray will beat him if he can get that fight,
Worst era in British boxing. These guys could not draw fleas to ****. Ask the average guy in the street and they wont have a clue who they were.
british boxing is a big deal in GB U.S. boxing is on the back page of every newspaper here i love their enthusiasm
I agree with most of these. I like Fury but no way does he beat Wlad. That's nothing to be ashamed about though. I think he'd beat most of the rest the division with the exceptions of Povetkin, Pulev and Stiverne. But being the #5 guy is nothing to be ashamed of. Bellew is ****. Huck schools him if they fight. Groves vs Dirrel is one for me between two evenly matched guys. Groves has more power, Dirrel has a better jaw. Dirrel is better defensively, Groves better offensively. Both fast and have good movement. Closely matched fight. Abraham is out of Paul Smith's league. Smith did well in the first fight but he's British level at best. Abraham beats him easily in the rematch but then loses to Callum at a later date. Crolla vs Abril will be closer than people think. I don't think Abril is that good at all.
