    If they can keep him injury free and active I cant see why not he is talented and can bang. Back end of the year possibly beginning of next. hes still a novice pro.

    Bri will be looking to defend twice then get a crack at a european. I fancy him to beat anyone in the division at the minute.

    Did you ever see Ronald 'Winky' Wright totally outbox Felix Trinadad purely with a jab? Perfect example of how a good technically boxer can win a world title without having to blast them out. Perfection it was!

    Jack Arnfield will be knocking on the door when Brian vacates his British title aswell. Another exceptional talented boxer. Fought last night first fight back after 3 years out. still young and hungrier than ever.

    Agreed but it was still an area where Winky needed to improve. Better for TV, better for fans and better for Rose's bank balance.

    The Aaron underdog win was fun, the revenge victory over Maxwell was cool but there are only so many UDs people can go through.

    I'm sure you respect the sweet science and understand it and all that but personally I'd much rather see a fighter continously evolve and become the best he can be. As good as Winky Wright was, he never did that. I bet he wished he had some power when Williams was painting him with punches.

    glimpses of some class in the fight last night, nice sharp punches, got hit alot, but pyschologically came through a very tough fight, i wouldnt like to face someone that knocked me out. If he digs his feet in and hits a bit harder, Euro title shouldnt be out of the question

    He can clean up domestically. Not seeing him as WC level yet.

    Yeh aaron win was immense as I won a small fortune. ;)

    Agreed to mix it with the elite you need to be able to dig a bit and box. I think he has potential to dig but just doesnt. I think if he really dug in a few shots that he knew were going to connect because he can catch his opponents clean regulalry it would make a massive difference. I think he was still apprehensive last night as he knew it would be a hard 12 rounds. He is a lot more agressive than he used to be aswll so he is heading in the right direction. Like you said maybe work on technique and power.

    He is too easy to hit.

    I don't care for his excuses about the first Maxwell fight, he was knocked the hell out, mindset means nothing.

    Maxwell was outclassed but he still got Rose with some crisp uppercuts, I see Hall, Webb and Ochieng giving him trouble.

    if rose is as open against someone who can ounch like hall or selkirk it will be over, i could see Hall walking through his shots before finishing mid-late rounds, and selkirk is better than rose in every department, lets be honest Prince Aron isnt much so to go on about him beating him isnt much of a statement

    I like his style, didnt seem to be getting hit that much good defense, people go on about power alot and he does need to improve his power but Maxwell can take a dig and is a strong guy, Aaron is a big strong guy.

    I reckon he's good enough to give all mentioned a good fight, he can win a Euro title not so sure about going any further.

    I'd like to see him do well, good luck to him!

    mindest means nothing? not sure Im following you?

    If your in the wrong frame of mind the last thing you should be doing is getting in a boxing ring! Its a dangerous enough sport.
