    I like him. Very entertaining fighter, got a lot of heart and despite having a patchy record on paper, he's pretty good.

    A matchup against Ola Afolabi would be a good choice or Mchunu who seems beatable.

    Both would be good matches to hopefully set up a world title shot.

    He's due a good fight and payday IMO.

    I wonder if he could have a run at the European title.

    Cleverly would be a good choice.

    Maybe too high risk/low reward for Clev though, I can't see his team taking it.

    I don't think Mckenzie gets higher than European honours, that belt is emminently winnable and would add nicely to his current belts. I'd like to see him win the Londsdale outright as well...

    Ask Vince Clev on facebook

    He told me about two years ago that Adam Booth pulled out George Groves from a sparring session with Nathan because he was getting such a beating.

    I'd say shove him in with Cleverly.

    Id say the winner of Simmonds vs Commacho could be in with a shout of the British
