    Gavin couldn't draw flies if he was smeared in ****.

    Boring, fat, wasted talent and almost entirely unknown to the casual fan.

    Been pro now for 6 years, if he was going to do anything at all on the world scene he would have done it by now.

    Gavin will draw in Birmingham. There's a reason Frank was weary after the last time he fought in Brum....

    It's not rocket science. Happens every time there's a big fight in the second city, and Frankie's support were the main culprits.

    Always a little harder for an intimating amount to make the trip to a small hall, out of the City on a Friday night....

    Yeah unfortunately the Zulus seem to attach themselves along to any half decent Brum fighter and trouble always follows. Even the Wolverhampton night was a pretty hostile atmosphere but fortunately Bundu had no fans to fight with

    Said it time and time again , FG has no place at welterweight , with his height and build he should making light welter maybe even lightweight , lazy and unconditioned remember him failing weight in the amatures also

    The only person that thinks Frankie is a true WW is Frankie.

    Frankie's on a five fight deal if he don't perform he's dropped simple as stated in the IFLIM interview bit risky for Frankie though because the lads been in some right stinkers

    He should rematch Woodhouse and Skeete, then face Malignaggi or Rios, then Brook and then whoever.

    Frankie barely dropped a round against Woodhouse IMO, one of the biggest myths in recent years. He didn't perform but he easily won that fight. Only sadists would want a Skeete rematch.

    I think theynshouldnget him in with Decarie, Bizier or Chaves. Think Frankie would shine against any of them.
