Who will win a world title out of these first time failures?

Got to fancy it to be Macklin or Bellew, although now Bellew is with Matchroom no doubt he will have about 5 final eliminators before he actually gets a shot at a world title.

 

Hatton has got a chance against that I.B.O champion

 

Yeah Macklin or Bellew, I would have said Barker but with his injury history I don't see it happening now?

 

I assume we are talking about the "big 4" titles...
Macklin
Bellew
J. Murray
In that order, significantly ahead of the rest, in my opinion.

 

Mackin possibly Murray.

 

I think Macklin will at some stage.

Bellew might too.

Not convinced about any of the others.... especially John Murray and Darren Barker.

Barker is better than most of the others but seems a bit fragile, getting injured every ten minutes, can't stay active enough.

 

if Chisora sticks around long enough he can pick up one of the belts that Wlad will vacate after retirement.

 

Bellew is a good shout if he can get a cleverly rematch

 

John Murray's career won't last much longer imho, not with a trainer who teaches boxers to use your face to block punches as a way of defence.

 

I think Bellew has potential it depends on how far he progresses. He is big for the division and light heavy doesnt have too many killers in it.

Munroe is good (from what I've heard haven't seen that much of him) but in a division with too much depth domestically and otherwise.

Macklin has a good chance but feel he gets a bit overrated here for a great performance against an ageing Sturm and doing ok against Martinez. Really good fighter but never has been elite. Barker is the better boxer but too injury prone and M. Murray depends on how he progresses.

Outside of big improvements in Martin Murray and Bellew as they develop or careful matchmaking I don't see any of them achieveing LEGIT world title success.

 

Munroe fights to the level of his opposition, which is a concern.

A few times he's been taken 8 or 10 rounds by absolutely crap opponents who he ought to be smacking around for a couple and getting shot of them by half way at the latest.

I think he'll beat Quigg, who will have had chance to regress even further with another training camp, learning the Simon Grayson defence and Andy Carroll footwork for 8 weeks.

 

:rofl :rofl

 

Definitely Tony Bellew for me.

He is the only one who is improving as each fight takes place in my opinion.

 

Maybe Bellew although I'm not sure about the WBC route. Unless HBO or Showtime have ****ed him off then he won't come here. Even if he did I'd still not fancy Tony's chances.

I'm talking about Dawson by the way!
