    His belt is worthless it's just a money maker for the WBA! It's a joke 1 organisation has 2 world champs in 1 weight? Rigo is the champ Quiggs belt may as well be a intercontinental belt!

    Looks good but his opposition has been poor. He really needs to step up and have another 5 or 6 fights against better opponents before he even talks about world honours. Defend his euro title a few times then go for a intercontinental strap and build his ranking up. He's young so there isn't any rush. Especially when his profile isn't that big yet either.

    Yes - that about sums it up.
    Will he still look good after his opposition stops being poor? That is the 64,000 dollar question.

    What happens when he gets put under serious pressure, by a hard accurate puncher?
    Will he be able to hold it together? Will he be mentally and physically tough enough?
    These are the questions.

    Most importantly it's earning Scott a good living that's what it's all about isn't it,I'd say there's only two maybe three better paid fighters in the UK so he'd be doing all right

    Whats he getting paid all this money for? Cos it sure aint boxing!
    He (and the others too) are only part-timers these days - fighting 2-3 times a year. Nowhere near active enough IMO.

    How often does your hero Frampton fight?

    Try to keep up Solaris.
    You might start with reading lessons.

    This problem of underactivity in modern boxers is a serious problem - a bit like the underactivity in your brain....

    I just wonder why you don't criticise your hero Len?
