We have the big 4 just like the premier league Haye, Price, Fury with Chisora a distant 4th, but still clear of the pack below.

We have former champions/contenders - Sprott, Sexton, Skelton, Harrison, McDemott & Rogan. When price vacates presumably two of these will fight for the belt.

Who else will be making a challenge - Dillian White was my pick to chase the tail of Chisora to get in the 4th place slot by the end of the year. The ban will put him out for the first half of the year. Hopefully he can come back with the same momentum. Ian Lewison looked good against Darch I would like to see him get revenge against Colin Kenna then a few fights later go for the Southern Area - He need to keep busy. Gary Cornish has been busy I would like to see him in a Celtic title fight against Darch, if Darch can pick up a couple of vicitories then go for Rogan. Colin Goldhawk does not live far from me and I will be keeping my eye out on his progress

The Joshua Tree could change the whole dimension if he turns over. If he signed with Eddie Hearn I would expect a Kal Yafai style apprenticeship, but at a whole new level.

When is AJ Taylor going pro? - I keep seeing him listed for debut, but the fights don't seem to happen

I don't think Haye will get the Vitlay fight he so craves. Think the latter will probably retire so I would expect Haye to follow.

Price I think will continue to be moved along as a pace, though he should be ready for a title shot in 2014.

Fury I think will get his next year. I suspect Arreola-Stiverne will become for the full WBC title and Fury will get his shot at the winner (Arreola).

Wouldn't expect much else from Chisora to be honest. Got a feeling Haye may have ruined him.

Whyte has some potential but he'll obviously be mixing it on the domestic calendar next year after his ban. Hopefully he gets the McDermott fight again. Has the potential to establish himself at the top of the Sexton/Rogan/Harrison type pile, but I don't think he'll go beyond British level.

I don't hold much hope in the likes of Cornish, Lewison or Darch doing much.

Isn't Anthony Joshua looking at going to Golden Boy as well?

All rumours at the moment. I hope not, don't feel they're as secure an investment as Matchroom. Obviously they're the biggest promoters worldwide but from a domestic perspective, they don't even have a TV deal on the horizon here at the moment and no precedent for raising UK prospects. I'd be concerned about how often they could get Joshua out on shows over here unless they lend him out to Hearn/Warren/Hennessy from time to time and I think he needs to be over here building a UK fanbase first. Nothing to stop Matchroom putting him out on US cards against perhaps tougher journeymen over there occasionally or stopping him getting top quality sparring over in the States anyway. Don't see much of an advantage with signing with Golden Boy other than they might be able to get him bigger fights down the line, but I'd worry about the short-term first and then that much later down the line.

The GBP British deal is interesting. I wonder if they are looking to do some type of deal with one of the networks where they can get exclusivity on the foreign cards if they put GBP's British shows on. i imagine at some-point they will want Khan to fight at home to try and put a big British show on. be interesting to see how it pans out.

I get what you're saying but I'm pretty optimistic with GBP in the UK. They say they're going to put on at least 4 UK cards in 2013 and it'd be good to have the Olympians stick together on the same cards.

Add to that they'll likely get on the undercard of Khan fights and other big name fights, it'll be good exposure imo.

I'd have liked them to sign with Hearn but I think GBP will surely do them well.

I still think chisora mullers price. I still don't really know why :lol:

Price will blow Thompson to bits inside 6.

I think haye will fight and beat vitali and set up a return against Wlad.

Fury should aim for Adamek then Pov. He can beat both IMO.

I think Hearn will make a big play for Anthony Joshua, he needs a heavy at matchroom.

Is Vitali planning on continuing boxing?

Dunno it's all up in the air ATM isn't it?
I just think the money will make it happen. I know he didn't get elected.
