    he destroys any domestic or european light welterweight..
    he'd probably even beat the fake WBO champ Lamont Peterson right now.

    Does he have injury problems or is he inactive?
    needs to join Matchroom imo..........

    Haha he is a good kid but he still needs a decent test in front of him that will show us how good he really is! I would like to see him in against Lenny Daws, Willie Limond, Darren Hamilton, Chris Jenkins or even see how he deals with the tricky Tyrone Nurse. If he blasts any of them away then he should step up to Euro level.

    I 'm not sure about injuries now but he had operations on his hands as an amateur!

    I thought Willie Limond was getting the Euro shot? How do you rate Brad Saunders ?

    Says he'll be out in November on his twitter; was gonna fight on the Fury-Chisora card. Think he took a little breather because his shoulder was playing up? Out anyway in November.

    I know he is talented Billy, but do you think his hands might hold him back when he fights the best? I'm sure he has had operations on both hands and they used to be a right mess after amateur fights!

    I never thought Willie would have wanted the Tyrone Nurse fight but try get the Euro shot, especially at this stage in his career!! Unless he wants the Lonsdale belt for keeps.

    you'd think if tyronne's fighting for vacant title some deal might have been done but the champion needing to go to Liverpool is poor id say, if indeed that's the case
    I thought it was Bradley's bicep that was injured not his hand

    Maybe it's his bicep just now but I've seen his hands and they are not pretty!! I just hope that doesn't give him problems when he is dragged into full 12 round war!!

    I also seen on boxrec Tyrone fights Dave Ryan for the vacant belt, seems strange that Willie gave it up. But he fights Dave Ryan in Leeds next month.

    I agree to a certain extent, Brad has been matched well so far and is coming along nicely but as much as Eddie can match you quicker, Frank can sometimes leave it too long for the step up that his fighters need. Imo neither is better or worse than the other.

    It gets annoying when people keep saying 'needs to join Matchroom'.

    In July somebody tweeted Frank Buglioni telling him join Matchroom. On Saturday someone told Billy Joe to join Matchroom. Yesterday Frankie Gavin was told join Matchroom.

    I think Matchroom have enough on their plate. The shows since Froch/Groves have been mostly average.

    In my opinion Stephen Smith made a mistake leaving FW. He would be a priority and headlining shows with Frank.

    It's no different to when Frank was seen as the top dog and was paying the most, everyone with other promoters were told they should join him. Sometimes people just favour someone and they can do no wrong,at the moment it seems to be Eddie but just as quick if someone else comes along and says the right things all that could change!!

    Imo if the boxer has the right people helping guide his career and they ultimately have the talent to succeed, they will be able to get the opportunities to fulfil their potential. When that time comes it is up to the individual to take the chance. Ok if you have Eddie or Frank helping it helps but you don't always need a big gun to get there.

    If he was the best he wouldnt have been in court so much from his fighters and his stable would be bigger.
