    After Ryan Rhodes impressive victory on Saturday what can he do next? I think he can continue to improve his record and seems to be like a fine wine and is improving. I think he has the beating of any Light Middle in Britain and think he has a chance with any current Light Middle.

    Will he continue on this current streak or will he blow it to be remembered as a nearly man?

    Heh yeah Martinez is quality and probably one for Ryan to avoid, but Forrest, De La Hoya, Moore, Santos etc, I could see Ryan winning.

    Yes he would probably get stopped by Sergio but id put him in with Santos and Forrest for sure.

    A fight between him and Moore in Sheffield or Manchester would be great. I think Rhodes would have a bit too much quality and would nab it on points!

    come of it what make you think rhodes could be de la hoya???

    Rhodes should try and get a fight with Jamie Moore, who is also ranked by the WBC. it would be a big fight, yorkshire vs lancashire and all that, and could easialy be set up as an eliminator. by next summer moore should have euro belt also.

    Moore will still be waiting for the Euro shot when Ryan has ridden off into the sunset.

    DLH would ice Rhodes though - stupid point to make!

    I would just sack the lot of them and find someone else.

    Rhodes isn't fast enough to beat DLH - he would be awkward for a while but would keep eating the jab.

    He looked like Whitaker at times against Vuma - but DLH is about four levels up in class, something which would be evident.

    Hopfully he gets an eliminator. It is too late to be choosey about opponents.

    Martinez is boxing biggest hidden secret. He`ll wipe the floor with Rhodes.

    Hmm Vernon Forrest Vs Ryan Rhodes for the WBC title aye?

    Feels like we've gone back in time 6 years and we have Wayne Alexander calling out Winky Wright and Fernando Vargas and Steve Roberts 'possibly' facing off against Oscar De La Hoya at the Leyton Orient Football Ground... I just cant see it lads.:roll:

    :lol: Is was Takaloo not Roberts. Roberts was far to busy making easy money of the WBF!!!!! As for Rhodes Forrest il doubt it will happen as his ranking i believe is 10th which barely qualifies for a voluntary and means bugger all to Vernon as well as not making him much money if at all.
