    No one really talks him up but he is stringing some decent wins together, he has a very awkward style and is big for the weight. He seems to be improving every fight and has shown he can stop people, maybe with everyone looking elsewhere skeete will be the dark horse of the division and surprise a few people, i think he has the style in the pros to beat heffron as well!

    How will he have the style as a pro to beat Heffron? :rofl

    Heffron didnt tap his way to a win as an AM. He blasted him out in a round. Heffron would HURT Skeete

    To be fair he never blasted anyone out it was a amateur stoppage which dont take much. Ive been more impressed with skeete then heffron since they turned over, heffron eats way too many shots and skeete could box his way to a decision. If we all went by amateur records frankie and audley would be p4p champs mate different game!

    Skeete isn't all that.

    Heffron would have him again.

    I'd say that Skeete has improved more of the two based on what we've seen, but he's not made the gap up yet, and probably won't.

    Heffron just needs to calm down, he's got Bellew syndrome, trying to bang the opponent out with every punch.

    Skeete is a KO waiting to happen, and Heffron is an average prospect IMO, don't know why the hell he gets talked up so much.

    Why is skeete a knockout waiting to happen, not seen it myself, and heffron is a good prospect just either isnt listening to his corner or is being given bad instructions from his corner. Im going with the latter!

    Skeete is a knockout waiting to happen because he's got the Simon Grayson defence.

    He's had it all his own way against little opponents so far, he's had lots of height and reach over everyone.

    Smacking Johnny Greaves around for three rounds doesn't make anybody a world beater.

    So his brother paid an arm and a leg to get some shite european champion over for his brother to beat, big wow hatton is shocking mate people bang on about him because he got slapped about by canelo, so ****ing what the bloke is **** poor and i dont rate him in the top 5 in this country. He over achieved by a mile and yes i think skeete would woop his arse so would heffron and gavin and you can add witter vassel and purdy to that as well!
