Looka at all those previously unbeaten guys he's schooled.

No-one takes an '0' like Billy-Joe!!!

 

He's a nobody! And hasn't proven himself against anybody.

 

False on both counts there.

 

On what level?? World?

 

On Andys level.

 

ur full of it pal:good

 

Exactly. Andy's at world level, while Billy Joe is... who??

 

Billy is quite a good boxer in fairness and has beaten some tough men but i take our point prob has been fighting at euro level or barely above,
It will be interesting to see how he will cope in the heat of battle with Andy.
It doesnt matter what you have done previously a world title bout brings its own intenstity and toughness,both pysical and mentally,
I think nobody (not even len ) can argue that Andy has shown his ability to fight in this situation,Billy has yet to prove that,
If he can match Andy in these respects he will be very hard to beat if not the title will be returning to limerick,
I hope BJS is another of these british fighters that while quite skilled and impressive looking cannot just get over the line at proper world title level ala kevin mitchell,frankie gavin,david price,stuart hall etc, i have a sneaking suspicion he might be,

 

Before saying that Andy is automatically better than Billy just remember a few of the guys Andy has struggled with - McKewn, Fitz, Horta, the last round vs Belgecham, Korobov, Jackson - ALL of these guys made Andy struggle. Are ye sure that ALL of these guys are better than BJS?
OR put another way is BJS WORSE than ALL these guys????

Come on fellas....Billy Joe has beaten some guys that are AT LEAST as good as the guys Ive listed above....he has a real chance of going one better and beating Andy. Be realistic - Im right. (again)

 

Ceja just beat your pick Ruiz Fra....:scaredas:

 

As i stated previously for me it come to how he reacts in a world title fight which is a diffrent animal to what he is used to,
You made my point for me little andy struggled against mc kewn,korobov,jackson and quillen in BIG fights but found a way back to get the win,Billy has'nt had to do that yet and that could be the deciding factor,as i said if he can do it it he will be very hard to beat,(fitz and horta i dont count Andy was in no way switched on for those fight and most probably his worst two performances ever)The title has a way of adding to a fighter ie steve collins i think that has happened to Andy

 

ruiz was controlling the fite until the knock down.... unlucky...i think he switched off for a moment.... then got caught:verysad.... here but ur still full of itgood:good

 

Well Mares obliged us Both by losing on points - as we BOTH said...so you did get it half-right! Lets hope there is no rematch and one of these guys fights Carl...they were generating more heat than light in there. All workrate and toughness. Quantity over quality. I think Carl beats these two.

 

Andy has beaten better opponents.

Again?
