    I really, really, really don't think he deserves a world title shot, not in the slightest. So far as I can tell he seems an absolutely standout bloke though and does an awful lot for charity, so I'm not going to kick off too much if he gets it. Which is extremely hypocritical of me, I know.

    Sometimes I wonder if Eddie Hearn just says things to provoke a reaction. This being one of them. He really can’t be serious, can he?

    Oh, he absolutely can. Coyle has mentioned in the weeks leading up to this that it was mentioned as a possibility to him. It's an incredibly easy fight for him to make too. Or maybe he'll stick Coyle in with Linares as an eliminator for that belt. I don't want to see Coyle ruined like that

    Coyle is a top fella and has improved no end but if he goes in with Linares he will get badly wasted...

    It's Hearn outlining 3 possible opponents for Hooker with Linares & Coyle being possibilities.

    Translation: Hooker will face Coyle next.

    It's a funny one. Coyle is likeable and you wouldn't begrudge him getting a world title shot. Problem is he is a British level fighter. I don't know anything about Hooker but Linares would demolish Coyle.

    There is no way it will be Linares, he will absolutely destroy Hooker.

    Extremely surprised he hasn't lined up Hooker vs Crolla as that's a winnable fight, although I suppose he's opted for the $$$ of what will be a massacre vs Loma.

    Why is Catterall not on the shortlist? It was sold to us that the winner of Catterall v Davies was gonna get a shot at Hooker. Don’t get me wrong, I like Coyle and don’t begrudge him an opportunity but Catterall has earned his.

    Oh, and Algieri, the man who hasn’t fought since a defeat 2 years ago? Is he taking the ****

    Coyle I'm sorry but nah. Linares vs Hooker is a very good fight though.

    That was before matchroom swooped in and took Hooker.

    Catterall is going to likely have to face a final eliminator id imagine. Hooker has just had his mandatory in Saucedo so is due a voluntary or two, hence Coyle, Linares and Algiers being mentioned. Matchroom USA/DAZN aren’t going to want to relinquish a world title so easy so I’d say Linares is out the picture unless of course they sign him..

    Hooker lost almost every round vs Perez and got a gift draw, I know styles make fights but Hooker is very average. It would probably be close.

    I like Tommy Coyle as a person but he’s nowhere near world level. He’s not big or strong enough at light welter and his punch resistance has always been pretty poor.
    Wouldn’t mind seeing Hooker Linares though.
