When I was a lad...

.... the big boxing nights were mostly domestic. There were only 2 sanctioning bodies and British fighters didn't seem to feature that prominently.

When two fighters were in the same division it was natural that they should square off. Cooper v Bugner, Minter v Sibson, Minter v Finnegan (twice), Nash v Watt, Green v Stracey.

At the moment there are 3 potential domestic clashes that would be fascinating clashes. Hatton v Witter, Maccarinelli v Haye and Calzaghe v Woods or Carl Froch or both. All 3 would be for versions of a world title and in the Hatton-Witter case a unification match. Sadly none of them are planned.

I suppose such fights won't happen until a degree of sanity returns and the number of champions are reduced.
