    I think it was a pretty dumb choice of opponent to be perfectly honest.

    Given that Arthur had only had gimme fights since the loss to Cook and was forced to move up in weight, perhaps someone a little weaker, less seasoned and proven than Wright would have been better.

    I fancied Arthur to old man Wright out of this one...:yep

    Bad choice of matchmaking...a real roll of the dice that backfired...

    I said when he was talking about fighting Guzman that he would lose big time, AAA was over-rated from the start, sorry to say

    Badger looks ok, but a bit early for title talk, no? He is still a little untested, although dont think his division is that big right enough:huh

    How would you see Limond v McAllister if they ever shared the ring??

    i agree with billynelson i dont think it any bleaker now thatn it was before alex fought i think it was a very bad decision to move up to 147lbs bearing inmind he came in at 145lbs but thats up to his trainner and management to sort out . but i think that burns anderson mcallister are best chances for major titles i would ove it if willie limond won a world title as he is one of the nice guys in the game .but billy i dont think badger is anywhere near title fights yet very good boy but need more learning fights .i heard appleby packed in and what about kevin McIntyre bearing in mind he beat nigel wright
