    Anyone top 40 has a chance with Chavez jr! He gets a load of abuse online but because he is so easy to hit, he makes for TV friendly fights:good

    Chavez Jr is okay...I suppose. He's never a middle though, surely. Doesn't punch hard either. Probably closer to the McEwan's and Barker's than the Quillin's though.

    Yes Sato's riding shots technique would be effective and arm punching would excel where Angulo failed. Angulo's arruum punches had no purchase on them. Something he has to go back to Gymnasium to work on..:)

    Nobody will beat Chavez until the inevitable showdown for megamoney with Canelo.


    Kirkland beats both

    I like Manfredo from the Contender, Felt sorry for him against Calzaghe ok he didn't deserve title shot he didn't deserve a bull**** stoppage.

    I would like to him win a title, He's been around and fought some good operators over the years.

    Kirkland's got to the point where his body will only respond to Wolf's methods. One of the reasons i thought he would do better with her back in the corner.

    A bull**** stoppage probably did him a favour over 12 rds he would of been given a worse beating than Lacy.

    Watching Groves/Smith again.

    Look at the ringside people. They were all pissed off.

    I really don't understand it.

    I'm not so sure about that. Let's not go overboard, Kirkland showed great resilience and credit has to go to Anne Wolf for getting him in great condition, but the flaws are so numerous it's ridiculous and i would take both those Mexicans to do him, especially Alvarez.

    W a RREN owns 100% of Smith but only the UK rights to Groves GBP and Booth have the majority.

    I may be wrong but I think Frankie thought Smith would spark Groves leaving a rematch with DeGale as his only option.

    Yeah he seems a good guy. The pre-fight on him when he fought on ESPN showed him back working as a cleaner after he lost all his contender money. It's a real Rocky chance for him
