do we have a current fighter who could match it with a real top 10 fighter

As you said apart from Geale it's a no, Tomlinson hasn't cracked an egg yet, Billy Dib looked like he was on his way, has skills but not in the elite 10 after his last performance.

Actually Bika may be slightly in there at 168

 

Zappa aint coming back, he's chin is **** plus no defence, it was easy to see by getting dropped by our domestic fighters.

 

From Locally produced fighters Dib is probably the next best...has been for a while and might still be for a little while longer.

 

Only one Oz fighter can do this at the moment and his name is Ty and he's undefeated.

 

Geale and Bika.

 

Bika still pushes the best in the world.........and he annoys the **** out of me but Dib does have the ability but not the mindset to beat the best fighters.

 

Agree to an extent with Bika but I think Dib has gone as far as his talent and skillset will allow him.

To be fair Dib is a good domestic fighter but on the world stage he is B grade, maybe even C.

If you look at who he fought against for his world title and then who he defended it against you can clearly see he has run his race as paper champ.

I'm open for discussion mate, no malice towards your opinion intended with my post :good

 

To easy Stiffy no malice taken mate..........Dib is one fighter I constantly shake my head at where you can see the skill & ability but your right when he steps up he folds........I think he's not as strong in the mind as his cocky demenour suggests.......as a youngster I thought here's one to watch........might have all the skill sets in the world but have to have self belief to get there.

 

Bingo mate, spot on :good

When Mosley and ODH took an interest in him and had him training with all the Golden boys prospect I thought he would be a name for the future. It's a real shame he let that opportunity slip away with his shameful proformance against Luevano

 

Geale.

And why the **** did the thread I made on him get deleted?

 

Mate threads get deleted left right and centre these days.

 

All threads mentioning Soliman are getting zapped. And Im saying Blake Caparello will step up and beat a top 10 fighter this year.
