    I have more of an understanding than you, you don't even know you have to qualify for the world championships now and you don't even know that they aren't sending Selby to the qualifiers

    if you had understanding of the amateur game you would realise its now impossible for Selby to go to the world championships

    well he was poor at the commenwealths, had one wsb fight where he got stopped and got his faced smashed in and he hasn't been seen from since. there must be something seriously wrong with him because there sending ali to the world championship qualifiers ahead of him

    you have misunderstood me, i wasn't having a dig at you, i was having a dig at other posters who know nothing bout amateur boxing

    you never ever had to qualify for the WC before so im sure this is news to many people

    Ok , it is exceptionally unlikely. Who was the last non podium boxer to qualify for the Olympics?

    Exactly.

    the Gb staff are biased towards english fighters, after the commonwealths reece mcfadden and charlie flynn should have been straight into the GB podium squad, flynn said they never even contacted him

    Am sorry mate but if you think you should be getting shoehorned straight to podium in the back a commonwealth games win I can't agree. The commonwealth games standard is nowhere near or a worlds or a Europeans. It's a poor tournament tbh.

    There hasn't been one, that's why. Ali is podium now aswell an sure, still don't knw why young batesons not getting sent. He didn't get sent to eu's either, seems strange.

    the euro games is a qualifier for the world championships, the world championships is a qualifier for the oylmpics, your supposed to send your number 1 and that is mohammed ali now

    anyway the world championships is a huge tournament in itself and gb has no intention of sending Selby by the looks of it
