    Still highly-ranked by the WBO and IBF I think, he hasn't fought since he gave Thaxton that terrible cut....Thaxton has since won the vacant European title via stunning K.O, Romanov hasn't done anything.

    Very strange, he's World Class.

    And Thaxton's about to defend that title for the first time, and Romanov still doesn't have anything lined it.

    I don't know, he's a very good fighter though.

    Don't know what's going on with him, but I would suspect that he's being avoided like the plague. He's a very dangerous opponent for anyone, but he doesn't bring the money or the name with him.

    Yeah - I reckon he would give fits to most of the so-called top Americans.

    His only negative is his workrate - so this long layoff cant be good for him.
