    Shame really, Ian had/has talent. I gave him the first 3 rounds vs Whyte before he gassed.

    For all those obsessive Haye haters out there, it is good sometimes to get an opinion off a working pro.

    Allen expects Haye to KO Bellew in 2.

    Also when asked if he wants to fight Haye, he said no chance ever, Haye would knock his head clean off.

    For someone who fought Ortiz and Whyte for peanuts, it is interesting where he puts Haye.

    Allen did say that on Twitter and I think he's probably right. He's only had 13 fights. He might have felt different after 30.

    Maybe, but I just think it is notable that he is prepared to get in a ring with Ortiz and Whyte, but not Haye.

    He does come across as a decent, honest, lad though. A real breath of fresh air.

    Just watched another Cornish fight, very light on his feet with a fast jab. He beats Dave Allen on points easy and keeps him on the end of the jab all night.

    He wasn't with eddie at that point was he? eddie will of just presented the fight, it will of been upto his current manager .. etc.. I think like you say though eddie will have him build now, he needs to get in the gym and learn
