    For me:

    Anthony Joshua

    fist fight v Chisora, second fight against the European champ (currently Teper), third fight possibly Haye (dependent on how he looks in his comebacks, and if it's is still warm enough to do it at Wembley)

    Kell Brook

    first get his mando out of the way (Bizier), then Khan in the Summer, then Bradley towards the end of the year (whether he wins or loses v Pac)

    Lee Selby

    If he can, get the mando out of the way early doors, in Wales (currently Barros and Hunter are the two top rated and probably will be demanded to fight an eliminator) , then face Josh Warrington at Elland Road, followed by Santa Cruz in the USA.

    James DeGale

    Fight the mando (Uzcategui). then a Groves rematch at a stadium, then unify with Jack or Abraham.

    Luke Campbell

    Rematch Yvan Mendy, then Ricky Burns, then go for Zlaticannin

    Chris Eubank Jr

    Fight Nick Blackwell for the British title, then take the shot at Jacobs, then rematch BJS (regardless if he wins or loses next week)

    Jamie McDonnell

    Face his mando (Zhakiyanov), then rematch Playboy Lee Haskins, then eshould he want to stay at Batamweight, fight the Super Champion (Payano) or if he decides to move up, fight Quigg

    That of course all is assuming the Matchroom fighters win the first 2.

    Good stuff. Though I believe Abrham has to fight his mando next (Ramirez) which is no given.
