    Could be argued that FW Just can't land those big fights for his guys. I know they swerved Andrades.

    With Eddie & Sky's bankroll/fanbase, Kell should have had at least ONE solid win since winning the belt.

    Even when he takes a VOLUNTARY he doesn't choose a world class fighter.

    Kell is a C level fghter. Khan stops him in 3, Thurman in 4, Garcia in 5

    Yeah getting one of the pound 4 pound best in the world over to the UK for the first time isn't a coup....

    Yep, Kell is a lot more accomplished that way. He won his belt against a consensus top 10 guy, and his defenses have been sub par, but still against much better opposition as Smith fought to date.
    Liam only fought for a vacant belt against some undeserving guy, and then defended against some prospect who was still in his record padding stage of his career.

    Nah, Smith hasn't even fought a consensus top 50 opponent yet. While Kell has beaten at least 5 opponents that trump Liam's best win.
    Don't let hate cloud your jugement.

    Eddie doesn't want ANY PART of Rigo. That's the difference.

    FW is just making a statement with bringing him over.

    By who boxrec?

    Well if we go off that, Thompson had a boxrec score of 177

    Meanwhile Jo Jo Dan had 266, Gavin had 328 and Bizzie Rascal has 287

    In fact going off that Brook has beaten 11 fighters with a highter boxrec score.

    Come out of your Mom's loft and get some fresh air, you hermit.

    I think you misunderstood. Kell has had 3 defences against poor opposition, whereas Liam has only had one. One of Liams next two defenses will be against top opposition. Kell is all talk
