    A lot of that applies to Burns also. Except Cleverly has a better body of work.

    I dont know, could be money, maybe Warren overrates him also. Whatever the case may be, Gavin would beat him with ease.

    Exactly.

    His early fights he had some decent tests like Quigley, Vegas, Barker before his coming out party agaisnt Oakey. He bashed up a few africans to build his profile but then took care off Fry and McIntosh the best fighters possible at domestic level, McIntosh who went on to win the European. Brancalion's only losses from 2002 onwards had been to future world champions. Murat was a world title eliminator and undefeated, the frenchman was a short notice job that would cause anyone problems at a few days notice.

    Warren knows his stuff. He did not want the Theophane fight for Gavin yet.

    Nathan is 1 fight away from proving he's a top-level fighter, right or wrong I dont think he's there yet. If he loses I dont think he'll be like Mitchell but its a reality check all the same.

    Burns got up off his arse to beat a champ which I think exceeds anything Clev has done so far. If Clev wins I'll eat a slice of humble pie, if Jurgen beats him I'll collect my winnings & say danke.

    I'm not sure many people overrate Theophane tbh. I agree Gavin would beat him, but that says more about Gavin's ability rather than how poor Ashley is.

    Tyson Fury, hands down - so much noise vs so little achievement.

    I would say the loser of the DeGale / Groves fight may fall towards this category also.

    The assumption that somehow Chisora is a top 10 fighter purely by having a fight cancelled is surprising.
