    i can't see him fighting for a world title anytime soon. maybe he'll take a confidence builder or go straight for a simpson rematch or smith fight.

    i don't see any easy routes to a world title right now.

    In my mind he wasn't anywhere near ready for title contention, so I don't think its set him back. He needs to get himself back into contention for the British title more importantly.

    Not much IMO.

    It's just a wake up call..... he needs to be more active.

    I don't think there's much to split any of Smith, Simpson and Lindsay..... some good fights in the next year hopefully.

    It was good experience, he'll be back better for it.

    he's pretty much in the same position just without the British title.

    John Simpson will prove in 2011 that hes the best featherweight in the UK and go on to win the Euro title and hopefully fight and win a world title
