    Lee Selby says he would be happy to fight Scott Quigg or Carl Frampton at Super Bantamweight, would be great fights, what are peoples thoughts?

    I honestly couldnt see selby make super bantam as he looks dry as a stick just making feather , also holds his own in sparring with lightweights etc also as ive heard he had some great sparring in our gym

    He looks a huge Featherweight, that is my thoughts Stevie, but if he managed it, what great fights they would be. I think all three are world class but if he was not too weight drained would take some stopping as he is a class act.

    My brother watched him spar burns was gutted i missed it due to working late but heard it was like a world title fight youd have paid to watch it , if selby fought either id suspect theyd need to come upto feather as in time i think selby will need to go super feather as with age making weight naturally gets harder

    This is music to Eddie's ears! ANOTHER domestic clash!

    Why fight the best IN THE WORLD when you can fight a kid 40 minutes from your house?

    Could make it a 124 catchweight maybe?

    Frampton has said he would move up to featherweight eventually why not dip his toes in the water

    Selby is over-rated. He has skills but he flatters to decieve. He is feather-fisted offensively and wide open defensively, and will be well beaten any day soon.

    disagree ... defence isnt just put hands up over face.... his footwork and movement give him a very very good defence ... Grado is an extremly good pressure fighter yet he barely was able to get close. Selby is also big at the weight so can hold his own on the inside also.

    Why any day soon why not beaten at the weekend against someone at world level ?

    Ask Grado if he has no power ... Selby looked to have more pop than gradovish did (only one fightr was hurt in that fight) i assume you couldnt have watched it then i take it? Selby was hugely impressive fight was stopped prematurely however with Selby close to shutting out Gradovish IMO.

    I tell you what then u must have massive kudo's and must be mightily impressed that someone with no defence or offence is still undefeated and world champ !!!

    If the very very limited Grado had even 5% more about him Selby stood every chance of being in trouble. He is wide open.

    Of course not you dummy - they wont ever meet - Frampton would be mad to leave 122 and if Selby moves at all it will be up! Come on!

    I think hes one of the biggest prospects out there , Gradovich was a seasoned champion with 5 IBF Defences and Selby put on an absolute clinic against him , maybe not a one punch ko merchant but his volume of punches seems to fair mess up his opponents faces time after time , and dont forget he blew away both great pros in john simpson and stephen smith brutally coming through the ranks

    5% :patsch no point ... cant be ar$ed dealing with trolls when your prepared to talk actual boxing rather than if he was 5% better .... that means nothing generalising pi$h. If you had 5% better personality ... you'd prob still be a troll
