I'm guessing he could make 130 again and he'll need to to get anywhere beyond Euro level, can't see him ever doing anything at lightweight. I would guess he won't go much beyond domestic level at any weight, he'll probably end up in a bunch of British title level wars with guys like Murray.
Then he'd be another Maccarinelli.
