    I'd like to see Matt retire. He's done his best. I don't think he has anything left to prove.

    And if I'm frank, he's got nothing left to offer either. Surely he's got no ambition left? Joshua mullered him and Skelton will have died of old age before Joshua is out of the frame again.

    Real shame if he's fighting for the money. Matt's been a good pro and I'd hate to see him hurt in one fight too many.

    Guy deserves big respect, people say Hatton over-achieved but Skelton truly has! When you consider: age, skills, rivals... He has done great!

    What's with the American date format on a British forum?

    Good point. Presumably based on length of inactivity?
    That is, of course, if age really is the reason that Mark Prince was denied. Seems a real shame that Mark can't get a BBBoC license, he is still a class act and his tireless work on his sons behalf is beautiful.

    Always liked Skelton, was a good euro level fighter in his pomp, was good to watch, wish he would retire has nothing to prove.

    Seeing Skelton maul Towers like he did Tom Dallas would be fun to watch. Even at nearly 50 I think he'd do a number on him.

    But do you mean Skelton shouldn't get licensed or that Mark should?
