    Next British World Champ?

    Just realized that England doesn't have any world champs recently. That got me to thinking, who'll be the first to claim a world title belt after Froch was the last champ to go?
    List off who you think have a chance at winning a belt next from England.
    I'll just list 2 for now.
    I think Khan can win a belt at 140 (against Morales) but not against Peterson or Bradley.
    I also think Brook can win either the IBF or WBA at WW.

    Sturm might rematch either Murray or Macklin.

    One of them should be champion now anyway.

      Probably Khan in a rematch, but Kevin Mitchell wont be too far away nor will Kell Brook

        I agree with the Macklin part... I need to see the Murray fight still

        Kevin Mitchell has a pretty good chance if not a really good chance to cop a belt at Lightweight

          Kell Brook, Mitchell, Khan and I can see him beating Peterson in a rematch, Froch as well...

          UK boxing is still very solid.

            WBA now vacant and Rios looks to be moving up so mabye Frank Warren can work some of his old magic

              To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised Arum pulled string for Mercito Gesta to fight for it.

                We already have a british World champion in Nathan Cleverly! But I think Khan will get a belt at 140 in a peterson rematch or at 147 against senchenko

                  Don't get me wrong... I don't think UK boxing is weakening... just an observation I made on it not having any champs right now.
                  As for Khan/Peterson 2.... i'd side with Peterson, but that's me.

                    True, but I was talking about boxers from England, but it is true that Whales is a part of the UK.
