    Arthur will be next after that but Haye will be the first to have a craic at the proper(real) title . Cook and Arthur will probably win and then be matched softly by Warren , which is a real shame as I like both fighters and am quite a big fan of Arthur .

    Oh come on Achilles, even you know the WBO is classed as a legit title now. In fact, HBO class it as one of their 'Big 4'

    So you have to accept it mate, the WBO champion is more than a belt holder. Anyone who says the WBO title isnt a biggie nowadays is sooking on sour grapes, & living in the past.

    Aye Dunky, WBO does mean something, I say this supporting Arthur and downing a bottle of Irn Bru.:D

    Britan next world champions and by this I include British based fighter as well will be David Haye, Carl Froch, Ajose Olusegun and Tshifiwai Munyai. Maybe Action Jackson Asiku. I am not sure of Amir Khan yet so I am reserving judgement until he steps up in class

    I was moderately impressed with Ajose the other night but do not think at this stage he is capable of having success against Witter or Hatton. Munyai was nailed far too much too.

    He might be reffering to the fact that Mormeck is the real champ at Cruiserweight being Ring champ and having beaten Bell who unified the 3 titles and of course Mormeck unified two and still holds two . Mormeck is linear and only the 3rd linear Cruiserweight champion . You can't compare him to any regular title holder no matter what the belt .

    While the WBO is one of the 'big 4', albiet the junior member, it still relies on the quality of the individual belt holders to give its titles credibility on a 'case by case' basis in a way that the WBA, WBC and IBF don't have to.

    Nobody think Gavin Rees can beat M'Baye? I dont really think he will, but i wouldnt be too surprised if he did. Outside of that i would say David Haye will be the next Brit champ

    ahhh..but arthur is only fighting for an interim belt due to guzman's postponed move up to lightweight. but if this means we get to see arthur-guzman at some point then all the better!

    It's not guarenteed if he's fighting for the interim or full belt but I assume if it is interim Guzman won't be holding on to his title(otherwise Frank wouldn't have got Arthur this fight) and will probably be moving to Lightweight .

    I still don't know why Frank didn't match him with Robbie Peden in an IBF eliminator when he could have , that was just over-protective .
