    What happened I thought he was the #1 Medal prospect for the Podium squad?

    Perhaps they should have sent Harry Khan instead of him... Harry seems to be doing the business on the big occasions

    Haroon's poor. Don't think that would of made a difference if this guy was good enough to hammer Yafai.

    Harry seemed decent enough at better the other Team GB members ranked ahead of him at the Commonwealth Games.

    Sure I know that, but from what I remember, everyone said that the other Team GB member would smash Khan as well and then when he beat them they said that it was only because Yafai wasnt there.

    he only got bronze at the commonwealths by beating selby on a c/b not exactly doing it on the big stage . yafai was euro silver medalist and 08 olympian its a no brainer who gets picked . yafai the much better pedigree
