    im not saying he’d beat Santa Cruz, Valdez or Gary Russell but he’d give them a hard night

    I wouldn’t want to bet against him

    I would not bet against him either against any of them - Santa Cruz at Elland Road sounds good to me for the next fight.

    He certainly wouldn't be an easy night for any of them.

    Has a good shot at beating LSC or Valdez

    I feel GRJ is a level above the rest in that division. He isn't far from Loma level.

    He mentioned Valdez after his fight last night and out of the 3 champions I would rate Valdez the bottom of them, Warrington would be a hard fight for any of them. I wouldn't want to bet on any of them fights.

    I think he would beat Valdez but lose to LSC and Russell. Either way, all 3 would know that they’ve been in a fight.

    That's a strange statement considering Loma totally shut him out when they fought.

    On topic i'm not convinced he beats any of the three but he'd give any of them a hard fight that's for sure.

    Warrington/Santa Cruz is FOTY when it happens. No doubt about it. Imagine those two slugging it out. That's top of my 2019 wishlist.

    I think people under estimate Warrington his tenacity, work-rate give him a chance to beat all them. He is more intellegent at boxing under fire than people think. He has a great chin as well.

    interesting i saw his father saying they want Santa Cruz or Valdez ideally, he rates GRJ above those two. Pretty honest and good to see that they are still realistic and haven't let the wins go to his head. He said they would still fight GRJ if it came to it but he would be the trickiest.

    Just can’t get excited about him not sure why but just doesn’t have that spark for me to be a great. Great boxer no doubt but missing that star quality you need to be an all timer.

    His engine is simply incredible. He's a nightmare for anyone at the weight.

    If he defeats one of those 3 names mentioned on this thread then the star quality will be hard to question, defeats 2 of them and there really is no question at all.

    Big ask but so were his previous 2 fights.
