    Selby was struggling at the weight, but I think healthy the decision still goes to Warrington, I really like Selby too, smooth mofo to watch !

    Quigg doesn’t deserve another title shot.

    I've seen him when he puts it together, he's a bit of a beast imo, something mentally not clicking for him, probably never will ! He has it in his locker to do better

    Warrington beats all belt holders @ Featherweight.

    He'd offset Russell getting into any kind of rhythm, establishing a reliable jab or any real momentum in the fight because he's too unorthodox & unpredictable. Hard to time or pin down. Relentless pressure fighter, but always moving & creating weird angles, accurate fast windmill hands, tight guard, never really sets his feet, unpredictable attacks.. A physical athletic fighter who can fight at range or up close too. Style wise he's just bad for any of them, I really believe that.. GRJ is good but he's one of those fighters who could have been way better if he had real zeal & ambition! He's fast, athletic & flashy but basically a fighter who sticks to the fundamentals.

    I think Warrington is a bit like Calzaghe, he was a bad style match up too, what he does probably wouldn't work for most fighters but it works for him.

    I'd pick Warrington to frustrate, out work him & just be too physical for him.

    Frampton & Selby.. He worked both of them over! Remember that. I think Frampton is better than GRJ.

    If hand speed was the be all & end all Zab Judah would be an ATG. Amir Khan too is an example of how fast handed fighter's can be brought to heel..

    Don’t see anyone beating him easy,Russell isn’t active enough and hasn’t fought anyone of note of late.

    That’s a great breakdown,made Two top champions look ordinary and given it’s not down to him knocking em out it has to be that he’s more skilful.
