    Yes, despite Rogan's claims, the WBU whose belt he wanted to contest is not even the same WBU that lists Hatton and Foreman among its former champions.

    Rogan is almost twice his age! Got me thinking - how good could Rogan have been if he started at an early age? - anway back on point. Fury wins this because Rogan has had his day and although he was brilliant previously age and inactivity shorten the odd's here not to mention his change of trainers.

    I wana see Fury fight Perez and Price not Rogan ffs.

    Would also love fury to fight Audley Harrison on a comeback fight, and for him to KO him before round 3.

    At least if Fury stays this busy he should get round to all these guys. He seems genuinely to want to 'clean up the division'.

    Fury want's the Irish title. The WBU "title" is worthless.

    Leaving aside the fact that arguably none of these people (possibly with the exception of Fury) deserve a top 15 world ranking how on earth have they arrived at the actual order? Fraudley, who won Prizefighter and then the European title is one place below Coleman Barrett, who has done nothing since he lost to Fraudley in the Prizefighter final. It's baffling! But i fear i'm over-analysing it somewhat...

    I thought Rogan was going to fight for the WBU that's run by the IBU boss and they claim it has the Foreman / Hatton lineage. The other WBU is German and has Gene Pukall as it's 'world' champion. Aaah, who cares anyway?! I think the wiki entry is mixing the two up.

    Interestingly (or not) it says that Skelton reigned for almost four years before relinquishing a title that he never once defended. Ha!
