    Has something happened with Kid Galahad?

    Every time i've seen him box he's looked too flash, little substance. Wide open defence and seems to punch with the power you'd expect of a Belsen detainee. Whats he done to warrant the kind of imbecilic comments like "He'd hammer Quigg and Frampton"???

    Have I missed something?

    Frampton would beat him, way too open

    Very talented kid, gets a little too fired up sometimes and tries taking peoples heads off with wild hooks, which he will need to reign in as he moves up the levels. When he is on his game though he reminds me a bit of a young hatton.

    You've missed his sparring sessions with Quigg, Munroe and Dickens, whereas Billy watched him spar Ricky Burns.

    :good

    Sparring??

    Ronnie Heffron made his pro debut on the Khan-Salita card. When Khan and Roach were in the UK two weeks before fight night I watched him take Khan to pieces. I dont for one minute think this made me believe he would take Khan apart should they have fought that night.

    I've seen several similiar incidents in sparring too. Sparring is just that...... Sparring! :good

    Hard to rate Galahad as he's never been tested by someone decent.

    Dickens would be a interesting one, hope this happens.

    He gets tested daily in the gym and always comes out on top. But hey, sparring is not like real boxing is it?

    :patsch
