    If we're going down that route, chuck in a stool, a pool cue, an ashtray, a broken bottle, a handgun......

    Former UFC fighter, Roger Huerta, who fights at 155lb. Got in a street fight with Rashad Bobino, a 230lbs, former Texas Longhorns linebacker.

    Huerta KO'd him.

    Here's what Huerta and Dana White said

    The vid is shite quality. but heres the clip:

    Let’s be honest — Frampton probably had flashbacks to that Quigg face-off when Eddie Hearn laid a hand on him. Spun round like, 'Get off me, you lanky c!' That might’ve been the moment he realised: the cobbles ain’t his territory.

    Realistically, unless you’re dragging a pro to the ground or smothering them quick, you’re getting lit up. All it takes is one clean combo and it’s curtains.

    Old East End tale I once heard — Lenny McLean got shown up in the ring by Cliff Fields, twice. So one night, they’re drinking, Lenny gets him drunk, drags him outside and batters him — still sore from the humiliation. If Lenny McLean needed that kind of setup to win, the average punter’s got zero chance.

    Dude you're not suggesting the public schoolboy Eddie frigging Hearn who's probably never had a fight in his life could take Frampton on the cobbles?

    Hearn only picks on women.

    To be fair, private school’s no walk in the park — Latin exams, rugger scraps, and Eddie Hearn strutting the halls like the Carlin of the private sector. Word is he gave Jodie Marsh daily stick — and she’s not far off Frampton’s weight class. No amateur record to brag about, but he’s crowed about being unbeaten and apparently floored Barry with a body shot in sparring.

    Still, let’s be real — Eddie’s best chance of dropping Frampton is droning on about Quigg being the better signing till Carl nods off. The cobbles don’t care for PR spin — it’s the one place his Winstone “I’m the daddy now” act would get laughed off the street.

    Huge disparity in height - Hearn is huge when you meet him and I mean Tyson Fury level of height.

    If Frampton was Enola Gay, he would be able to give Hearn's length a nibble if standing up on his toes.

    Presumably Huerta will be chinning Dana then...?

    Hearn is nowhere near Fury who is 6'7''. Hearn claims 6'5'' but is more like 6'4''.

    Hearn is a prolific lift wearer

    Met both and with Hearn and Fury huge in height when you meet them - not a lot in it and I was surprised by how tall Hearn was.

    Definitely not 6'4 and I would say 6'7.

    You must be a lot shorter then because Hearn is no taller than 6’4” (my height, 194cm to be precise so a bit over) and Fury was a good deal taller than me though clearly nowhere near the 6’9” billing. David Price is taller than Fury. I’ve also met Ronald McIntosh numerous times, who towered over me. He’s every bit 6’9”. David Price isn’t much shorter than him so he must be the full 6’8”.

    As Terminator said Hearn may wear lifts and he might borrow them off W. Klitschko. I can’t say I’ve noticed with Hearn.

    I am 6'3 mate and he was about half a head taller than me and never thought to check whether he was wearing Skye's high heels.

    David Price is the tallest and I feel like Sunny Edwards standing next to him.
