    good to see. have always said i would like to see him in the UK.

    He cant fight barker in july as he is coming of a loss and you need a certain number/percentage of fights in europe to be eligible for the European title.

    While i have always rated McEwan i dont like seeing these claims that he will win a world title and is above domestic level because i dont really think he has proved that yet.

    the main benefit of the wild card is the sparring not roach's coaching but i agree with your point.

    he realises his level which is pretty much British level why take unnecessary punishment

    Brian Vera is above British level in my opinion. His performance against Lee shows he can mix it at Euro level (which Lee is definitely at). Don't think he'll win a world title but he is above domestic level.

    Yeah definitely, but when you are a young/inexperienced fighter you need both.

    There's no point being based in America to get bashed up every day, with the sole purpose of having Roach in your corner on fight night.

    By all means head over there for sparring sessions and such.

    To be honest there's no reason why he couldn't spar with a fighter like Froch, he's seems to work with everybody, or Groves even. The Hayemaker camp tend to work with a wide range of people.

    Good shout! Would be a great fight, Simpson would win handily.

    You honestly think your in a position to question Billy Nelsons professionalism?

    big dunk you are correct in your post about craig but its is only everyone opinion that craig can be as good as he wants to be he has the talent all he needs are the breaks . now until its confirmed who craig is going with or training with or even promoted with its only our choice and opinion who he should go with its like we are all his managers and we think we no best . Now I no craig personally and can assure you he has a good team around him and has advisors who will fight his corner in the money stakes and who to go with as far as tv and title shots are concerned now i would like to see him with either hatton or ****** as they are the ones with the rights for the titles and tv deals so good luck craig what ever you choose as i no you do read the post made

    I think Casey Simpson would be quality with the 2 styles .Both them would probably go to war .Also the atmosphere at Casey's fights look quality man and you know what Simpson's like going into the lions den .

    would prefer this fight in Scotland mate or England for that matter.

    my mate was at the Casey-Rigondeaux fight and there was bother between the rival gypo gangs and other gangsters. He told me the riot squad turned up after the fight was over and the atmosphere was poison.

    There was a great atmosphere at the fight. I didn't see any trouble. Riot police were there (before the fight) as a precaution. I've never seen any trouble at fights in Ireland (Dublin, Limerick, Belfast) ever.
