    100% right I think he should spend the next year at this level and get in 4 fights or so. Personally, I would like to see him fight a few better defensive fighters and high pressure at Euro level.

    After that, everyone can assess what level he should be fighting at, although one thing for sure, is that he is way above domestic/commonwealth level.

    However, the problem with LHW is that the division is not what you would call loaded, so I think he will be able to pick up a ABC title. Pascal does not do it for me, but at the same time you have Dawson, B-Hop and Johnson swimming about, and at this point and for the foreseeable future (2 years or so) I don't think Clev will be ready for them. Although, if he does wait that long two of them should be retired or totally past it....... Then in five years time, if he is at the top everyone will say he ducked the best fights, lol.

    I think Erdei will be back for his old title :think

    He looked good beating Frag but his stamina is questionable..... why not?

    cox used to be one of my favourite prospects. although they are saying he's not ready to face better comp, i think that might be the only way he gets better. he's just not taking this level of opposition seriously

    I hope after this this the stupid wolly Cox will realise he is miles from a British Title and needs at least 4 or 5 more fights before he even stands a chance world champion my ass. From the sounds of things he was a lot more impresive when he was with Richie Woodhall.

    He's gone stale. He hasn't even fought a good domestic contender and he is aiming for Brook needs to prove himself. Lomax would be a good test.

    Board has called for Cox-Mark Thompson. They should take the risk and go for it. Sink or swim.

    Diaconu might be a decent fight.

    There's not a right lot available for me at Euro level right now, there's no point ****ing about at domestic unless Frank wants to put Bellew in there next.

    The last thing Warren needs to do is what he did with Cook and Arthur, keep them waiting and waiting forever with long spells of inactivity and fights against weak opposition.

    Thats a good make or break fight. Thompson hasn't looked that good since the Vuma fight. Cox just needs a fight to be hungry about

    Now theres a shout, very much doubt it will happen as Cleverly has far too much too lose going in with Bellew. Tony can bang and if cleverly hangs that left hand low like he did tonight then he will be in trouble with Tony. It would be a cracking fight that though.

    I'm gunna throw out Mahamed Aripgadzhiev as the guy I want to see as his next opponent.

    Good show tonight I really enjoyed it hopefully Sky do more Saturday shows with the one rule that the card must be stacked with lots of names.

    TBH its now up to Bellew to get to Euro level before Cleverly makes his move on the world title.

    Maybe Warren will deliberately "stagger" their careers like Mickey Duff used to do with his fighters??
