    WTF? Lightweight . . . you mean 135 ???

    Your source is ****i'n Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid!

    Romanov is rated #8 by IBF and Joan Guzman is not even in the top 15. Fernando Angulo is rated #4; Julio Diaz is #5 and Anthony Peterson is rated #6 . . . how can that happen. :deal

    Romanov is well known to Europeans, we've seen quite a bit of him. He's a very good all round fighter, but Guzman's an outstanding talent and will have too much for him.

    IBF Feb rankings......

    10 Yodsanan Nanthachai
    11 Michael Katsidis
    12 Bredis Prescott
    13 Saddam Kietyongyuth
    14 Amir Khan
    15 Tyrone Harris


    Thats how they got there. The only thing I dont understand is how do you rank Guzman at #7 for beating no-hoper Ameth Diaz, but NOT rank Marquez for knocking out Casamayor? If someone can explain that one to me then I'm ok.......lol

    1 of the best LWs in Europe from a long time, destroyed top top brit LWs like Vanzie (top top prospect), Murray, Thaxton and that spanish champ, certainly earned his shot

    Yeah Romanov is unknown but certainly qualified for the gig.

    I regard Romanov highly, definaterly the most under valued un heard of contender out there. I really hopes he gets this shot!

    Romanov is ****in Rock , he smashed Thaxton too bits.

    Guess it depends what kind of condition Guzman is in , or if he shows up !
