    Scott Cardle
    Derek Chisora
    Amir Khan
    Dillian Whyte to an extent.
    Groves as well seems a bit off.

    I have an absolute eye for a shot fighter: in order of acute shotness

    Ricky burns
    Delboy war chisora
    Carlos the jackal Frampton
    Brook
    Kahan

    Whoever on earth said whyteleafe needs to be stricken from the record, perhaps permanently. Guy is the very definition of a fighter in his prime.

    Dave Allen, although I don't know if he's just naturally like that. If I had a pound for the amount of dopey ogre like northerners I've come across over the years I could probably buy a house in Doncaster.

    I worry about the fact that it feels like a long, long time since Chisora was being beaten pillar to post by Fury, Klitschko and Haye, and whilst still regularly losing seems to have decided to transform into some war machine type take fifteen shots to land sixteen slugger. It just feels like he's shipped an enormous amount of damage.

    His purse (bar the Whyte one) is less than 100K. After trainer fees and Hayes cut, and the tax man, not huge amounts left

    I'd say he is fighting because he has to

    That be me then Wig. When I say 'to an extent' requires more clarification.

    Whyte seems angry and not always there when he has been interviewed etc. Although he is still a major force at heavyweight, it does make you wonder has he taken a few good shots or is it just part of his personality?

    Dave Allen doesn't seem punch drunk, I've always thought he just isn't very bright in general.

    Groves is a good shout, his speech is way different to before Froch Groves 1

    Kell Brook - the words ' have you sorted my PPV with Can yet Eh Day' certainly slower to come out these days

    Dave Allen has admitted that he has always slurred his words. It isnt a boxing thing.

    Tommy Coyle seems very bad, hope he hangs them in the next 12 months. Clearly doesn’t need to box either
