To be brutally honest Joe, I dont see this fight going ahead anymore. Its been two weeks since now since the fight went tits up, & the silence is deafening, with rumours its now going to take place in Glasgow or London. & once again, the silence from both camps is deafening, after they had a wee spell of trying to blame each other for the call off. I REALLY hope I am wrong though. However, to answer your question if Arthur did beat Guzman, then I think lots of WBO title defences against their ranked fighters in Scotland. I wouldnt expect to see unification fights to be honest. Warren & Arthur would make some serious money from the title before the big fights would happen. I could see Arthur v Mitchell happening quite soon after the Guzman fight, if Arthur won of course.
Dunky it's looking like the rumours are true, I don't think Arthur can make the weight anymore. What do you think of him moving up to 135? give us Khan vs Arthur:yep
he was totally dead at the weight against Foster jnr, so it wouldnt suprise me if Arthur had to move up, but rumours are rumours, & lets hope Warren makes an announcement soon that the fights still on. Arthur v Hhan at lightweight? hmm! I would still much prefer he fought Guzman though. Khans the big prospect, but guzman is P4P top 10 in many peoples eyes. Guzman is the much bigger scalp.
Good learning fight for Mitchell though, & he proved he can dig out a win when hes dragged into the trenches. I always thought Mitchell was a hypejob until he beat Johanneson, now I think he just might be the real deal. That was a fine win...
yeah yeah, guzmans so super duper he doesnt get hit with punches. We heard all this before in the thread from the other Guzman fanboys. NEXT
According to compubox stats Arthur's last 5 opponents have landed an astonishing 3021 punches out of 4210 thrown. A remarkable 88% connect ration.
err, we werent talking about Alex Arthurs punchstats. We were talking about GUZMANS punchstats. Is that so hard to understand? Or are you just trying to deflect from Guzman to Arthur cos you know that Guzmans punchstats dont add up to scrutiny? Methinks you are trying to deflect traitor.
Dunky, Do you believe that Arthur has much of a chance beating the likes of Pacquiao, Marquez or Barrera?
