    Good post. As a fighter he has not developed the way he should have as a champion because he has been badly promoted. Has another British fighter been a world champ and fought such poor quality opponents throughout their reign ? If he had opponents who were getting better as his reign went on he would have improved. He also lacks pop in his punches for LWW. Would like to see him fight Catterall if he stays at the weight, 50/50 fight.

    Just get it over with and throw into the savage arms of The Tartan Tornado, for a violent thrashing, and after he's done with that mauling, send him over here to the States, so Prograis can polish off what's left of poor Turbo Terry.

    Who knows? Will probably fade away. Has F all appeal or fanbase.

    Been very badly let down by his Promoter and Management Team. At this rate Crolla will end up retiring having earned at least 5 times more than him. Flanagan is a good fighter but is not as well known with the general public as many British level fughters, such as OD.

    To be fair, Crolla is a good looking guy with a bit of personality and a good back story, so he was always going to generate more publicity and money than Flanagan even if they'd both been promoted by Hearn. Terry looks like he eats lego as a pastime and struggles to string a sentence together when he's put in front of a camera.
