    I think Mitchell Smith will drop to featherweight when he gets an important fight I guess, at the moment he's coming in a couple lbs over super featherweight isn't he?
    Macklin will kill himself making 154 at his age...

    David Haye. I think 210 -15 lbs for a HW is just way too small to challenge a modern day elite HW like Klitschko.

    Agree with Saunders and Gavin. Think Brook could hit 154 and be a player too.

    Sorry if this is incorrect but I thought 140 division was Junior/Light Welterweight? Unless Super Lightweight is another name for it?

    Agree with above posts think Warrington would be an even better SBW, as so many great domestic fights at that weight and he would be in with a decent chance in them.

    Sorry for the confusion just a habit, Super Lightweight is just a synonym for junior or light welterweight - I think I've got in the habit of saying/writing it because of boxrec where 140 is listed as that [i believe].

    You're spot on with Haye - he's really not a big dude. His 6'3 claim is way off the mark, when you see him with a genuine 6'4-6'5 dude he looks way smaller, in reality a 6'3 guy shouldn't be towered by a 6'5 guy. He was a brilliant size for a Cruiserweight though.

    Reckon Brook would be at 154 if 147 wasn't so pack and 154 was full of boring fighters.

    If Frampton does move up to featherweight though like he's been saying I think that will be a mistake. He looks small for a Jr Feather.

    I know Bellew says he had to kill homself to get to 175, bit he's also way to small to be a cruiserweight

    You have to admit he doesn't look great with the extra weight.
    Its not a body building contest but he looks flabby and a few lbs over weight with no definition.

    Calzaghe never looked overly ripped but he looked in shape and could go rounds. Tony looks knackered after throwing a few hay makers,

    You must be forgetting that Tony's kids are bringing home illness negatively affecting his performances....:lol::lol:
    Did anyone here that Nathan Clev say recently that he could go to 168 for the right fight.... Lol

    Frankie Gavin should drop down to 140.

    How on earth Macklin is going to make 154 and be a force I don't know.

    Paul Smith looks like he could do 160 and he looked horrible against Ward above 168.

    Romeo Romaeo is going to end up wider than he is tall - too much muscle mass for his size.
