    Hes hilarious :rofl. beats Gethin whose abysmal and now he wants a world title shot. Everyone wants a world title shot, let him beat someone of note and then he may get his shot.

    Mitchell
    Crolla
    Coyle
    Rees
    Buckland
    Flanagan

    All beat Derry comfortably now, he's shot to bits. Stephen Ormond beat him easy FFS, where's his world title shot? :huh

    I said now.....as in, if they fought again.

    Coyle schooled him for 10 rounds and he landed a cracking punch out of the blue.

    He's rode his luck for the last 2 years and got found out off Stephen Ormond which proves hes British Level at best. He wants a world title shot for one reason and 1 reason only.....not coz he thinks he can win. MONEY nothing else, the blokes a con

    No he won't. I know for a 100% NAILED ON fact he ducked Crolla after the draw. He only wants to "fight anyone" if theres a financial gain from it. Like when he lost to Rees he started the Crolla stuff up again coz he was in no mans land and knew there was good money in the Crolla fight.

    Look at the facts, coming off a loss to Ormond, did he deserve a shot at Gethin? No did he hell, now hes talking world titles :patsch i mean seriously come on, people should not be taking this guy seriously.

    Yes but thats just how boxing is these days Chisora got a world title shot off losses to Fury and Helenius.

    Degale got a Euro shot after losing to Groves.

    Has Richard Commey been up to you also Bill?, he looks strong and I seem to remember derry sidestepping that one also. That said there is still plenty of big fights for him now he has the British strap, Murray, Buckland, Cardle etc.

    I'd like to see Derry try and win the Lonsdale belt outright I think that would be a decent achievement given that the LW division is probably our deepest one domestically at the moment. As for Flanagan surely he won't have to face him in July, that's too soon to expect him to fight again especially as he was taking a holiday anf his right hand looked smashed up...

    He'll rest up now, no way he can be ready for a fight with Flannagan given the time scale.

    Like to see Derry do well.. he's fought a who's who of domestic talent especially in recent years and given us some top fights.

    I like Derry he's a top guy. I think he would genuinely fight anyone hence his past loses. I think he is being managed well and would be stopped against Commey and Flannigan.. He has 4 or 5 fights left maximum he should make as much money as he can!!

    Your missing my point.. He doesn't choose his fights it's ****** now.. You just need to look and see who Derry has been in with and you see he fights everyone.. I think he has earned the right to pick and choose his fights but that's my opinion

    Going entirely off the interview with Kugan, Derry clearly doesn't fancy it.

    Impossible to think otherwise.
