You need to fight all of the challengers at domestic level, so patience is the game. Get the experience, take on alcomers (in your own time if need be) and then move up to european, then world level. It aint easy which is why not every division has this class of fighter.

That is what all of the domestic fighters at the top of their game have done. People in this class are Stacy Gosden, John Orchard, fran Zucalla, Marlon and Dean. Nick Gill is just moving into this bracket. Most of the other divisions are still sorting themselves out on a domestic level.

The top guys usually fight overseas opposition, and only fight a fellow Brit when there is something to be gained, like this weekend.

The rankings then deem them almost untouchable, for want of a better word.

Hope that is some kind of an answer, and it is just my opinion.
