    Is he even Euro-Level? Or is he British level at best?

    I have now given up on Frankie, massive waste of talent.

    I agree.

    He's going nowhere. His career will be done by the need of next year, because if he loses another Euro shot next year then where does he go? He really is walking a tightrope in his next 2 fights.

    Over hyped for certain.Very ordinary-domestic level at best.

    How can people argue whether he's Euro class or not?

    He's clearly better than domestic class because thus far at 147 he's beaten Lomax, Vassel, Skeete, Price, Barnes and Witter.

    He lost a very close decision to a fighter (in Bundu) who is better then Euro class, in a fight some thought he won.

    I dont think last night was an exciting fight by any means but I think he's European level at the very least

    Because he struggled with Skeete and lost in his outing at Euro level? Not the brightest crayon in the box are you, Dan?

    Dan is right in what he said. However i would say that frankie does not punch hard enough to take him much further

    So if he's beaten everyone at domestic level, that would make him above British Level would it not? And you asked if he was Euro level, not Euro Champion. He lost a split decision, many thought he won against the European Champion. That makes him good enough to be cutting it at Euro LEVEL if you ask me :patsch

    He's a decent boxer but compared to the hype surrounding him when he turned pro, he's terrible. Lazy trainer, overweight, very little power and doesn't throw enough to make an impact on the world stage.

    According to Billy Nelson he's better than Brook.

    He hasn't got the discipline to do so.
