If he starts fighting regularly. Even his comeback with Saunderland promotions has suffered hitches so far with him lossing Adam Booth as a trainer before they even had a fight together and he hasn't been out nearly as much as I'd of expected him to be. His fight against Pala I doubt will even go 3 rounds in all honesty. But back to the question, he can easily become a contender again but I'd be hugely suprised if he ever gets a belt.
