    Nathan Cleverly will unify the super middleweight division in it's entirety and will claim each title by brutal first round knockout.

    He will be the first man to be the IBA,IBO,IBF,WBC,WBA,WBO,WBF,NABF,African, Commonwealth, British and Asian unified champion.

    His trainer Enzo calzaghe will unfortunately pass away during Cleverly's 25th year of reign, but Nathan will be so rich, that as a way of thanking Enzo for all his astonishing training techniques he sends him to America to be cryogenically frozen in a special labarotory alongside Walt Disney and Lassie the dog.

    A 'stepping stone'

    :lol:
    What a muppet you are!

    I mean, i like Smith but how can you determine whether he is better than Duddy ey? Silly talk

    As for you claiming Duddy to be British, he certainly is not..

    First guy with decent pop and stamina will beat Duddy

    The guy is entertaining and has plenty of guts, but that is all

    Don't ever diss the WBU :deal

    It is a true reflection of the quality of boxers worldwide. A British great like Lee McAllister is currently P4P No.1, followed by Choi Tsveenpurev, whilst Manny Pacquiao and Israel Vasquez are left trailing in their wake :deal

    I forgot to mention, in the wake of Joe's split , Nathan soon followed suit and soon after that promotional outfit bit the dust and said promoter died of a broken wallet.

    Word is, that the WBU legacy was left in his will to his favourite Romanian plastic surgeon, who helped keep him in prime condition with bi-annual tucks and fish juice squeezed from virgin Koi Carp imported from Asia.

    One day it may surface and if so, Nathan will don the gloves once again to add the holly grail to his heaving trophy cabinet.

    Yea, I think Khan will pick up a WBO, WBU, WB... etc trinket of some sort; at some time.

    Irish or British not differance.



    Duddy is a decent fighter but he has got way too much undeserved hype. I am no big fan of Smith but he is a very similar talent level to Duddy and can be a useful domestic top 5 contender, neither will go far.

    If somebody is going to tell me who Amir Khan is going to get an alphabet from, I'm all ears. It's not going to happen for a long time, and he'd need a minor miracle to not be facing somebody likely to starch him.

    Of that lot, somebody like Darren Barker is most likely if he got matched correctly as he's solid if unspectacular. They'd have to catch somebody like Sturm, probably past his best and in the UK. Whether they have the cash to do that, I don't know.

    MAYBE Appleby if he has untapped potential that we aren't seeing, and again gets matched correctly.

    I have been impressed with what I have seen from Barker, but he needs to ditch the Commonwealth title and secure proper domestic honours.

    I doubt Sturm would consider fighting abroad again - he is probably fearful of getting ripped off :deal

    Yeah, I'm just saying hypothetically, that is what it would take. All things being equal, none of that look good enough - and would have to get majorly lucky as far as matchmaking and being at the right time and right place. I just picked Barker because he's solid and doesn't really do anything badly or particularly outstandingly so he's in with a shout if things went his way.

    Some of them have no chin, some no skill, some no defence and some no power. Or a combination of them.

    I suppose it is a bit early to judge Appleby - he has certainly looked as good as possible KO'ing a load of bums + Simmo for the British title. Thats why I feel a rematch would prove plenty - then Truscott as his first defence.

    The featherweight scene ain't all that so there may be a chance for someone who can conquer the domestic or Euro scene
