    is Arthur capable of making lightweight?

    He's just a Scottish version of Audley Harrison. Seriously deluded.

    He's done.

    While I agree that he was a shell of his former self when he fought Cook, he isn't in the position to be calling out World Class fighters any more. He should have moved up in weight a whole lot sooner than he did.

    Pointless fight, that will probably get made and one which Bily Nelson will come on here and try to defend.

    I see this happening :patsch

    what a stupid comment! Arhtur achieved a lot up till the cook fight ...he was a talented fight but the weight has got to him in the end. This article really is just to buy him some media attention

    He did achieve plenty, British and European champion including wins over some decent fighters.

    It's just the way he talks about himself as a world champion that grates me, bearing in mind he never won a world title fight, and the fact that he thinks he can just waltz into big fights on his name alone.

    At least Harrison beat Sprott with a lucky punch :lol:

    This is a man that went life and death with Peter McDonagh and was clearly outpointed by Nigel Wright.

    I hear Amir Khan has cancelled the Judah fight and given Curtis Woodhouse a call :hey;)

    I wish him all the best in his future endeavours, but he needs to give up boxing, certainly at championship level. He just doesn't have it anymore, his ego and the weight finished him off.
