    The Dimitrenko/Povetkin pairing forthe European title would not be a surprise, and if Frank Warren was to be 100% truthful, it's a pairing which will fit in his plans.As Rogan is big box office now and warren knows it, so I predict a couple of "safe" Commonwealth title defences for the popular taxi driver in his native Belfast. Once Warren has sufficently milked "Rogie" for all he's worth, one should expect Warren to try and make the Valuev fight.

    Guys I have done a total overhaul of the Irish P4P list that I keep.

    Here is the old draft and here is the current draft.

    I've added a few extras including a general overview, a comment section for each boxer and a "ones to watch section". Feedback would be appriciated.

    I am going to take out Jason McKay and replace him with A.N. Other - can I have your suggestions on who (and why) should replace him.

    I will then to a reshuffle.

    cheers

    Fantastic list slapbagwallop, Dean Byrne and Neil Sinclair should be higher[top ten place for Sinclair for sure]. A case can be made for Darren Sutherland[on pure potential basis], Kevin O'Hara or Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan to be the final name on the list.

    I've put Fury in at 20. It was a toss up beaten him and O'Sullivan.

    I wouldnt have O'Hara in there - he was recently beaten by Eddie Hyland who aslo doesnt make the list. I think that Furys opposition has been better than that of Sutherland so his progression is stronger

    I was thinking of bring Sinclair down not up!

    The Italian correspondent for Boxing News along with most of the Italian press had Sinclair winning against Petrucci after their EU encounter, so it's unfair to judge him on his latest outing.The same can be said of O'Hara, as the Belfast press thought he was robbed against Hyland, but I was judging Kevin on his most recent impressive form, when I indicated that he might be a viable option for the final slot.Fury isn't Irish. He's stated that he is proud of his Irish heritage, but that he is British [ Jamie Moore feels the same way].
