    There's a difference between not having a genetic predisposition to muscle gain and being doughy cos of poor habits, eg. too much beans au gavin, chip sarnies, CNP fart powder etc. :yep

    But is he a good enough 'Barxer' though? That's all I wanna know.

    I think a big part of the problem is not just Frankie, but those around him. Clearly they feed his ego and allow him to believe he's far better than he really is.

    Don't think it helps that he's paid well over the odds by ****** either. The hunger and desire to chase the big money just isn't there.

    Thats right. I really admire Bundu,but well see how he goes against a boxer with real TALENT when he meets Thurman. Having said that,Gavin hasn't done too badly at all as a professional. Just not enough TALENT to be a world class boxer. No disgrace there.

    His style was tailor-made for the amateurs. That's a big downer for him.

    No power in the pro game won't get you that far.

    Yeah you right fighting for 12 rounds a lot different to flexing your pecs in little undies

    Needs to make Light-welter or even Lightweight as he gets dwarfed at Welter and couldnt punch snow of a rope

    Got to give Skeete some credit. He used his height quite well by sitting back and using the counter right to deter Frankie coming in. Frankie is terrible on the front foot. Skeete fought a good fight.

    The difference is if Frankie/Bundu fought the oxy 100 times titlebout style etc.

    Same with Eubank/Saunders..


    The real winner of the 1st match and the better takes over in infinity etc.


    Hops goes 3-2 in the quintuple.


    Just the way it is.. infinity matches Titlebout style.
