    He looks like a real talent.

    I'd love to see him face Rhodes.

    Thoughts?

    He's hit his peak at British level.

    I agree.

    He's too ponderous and too easy to hit for my liking to progress much further.

    I wouldn't fancy his chances against Ryan Rhodes, that's for sure. Moore at his peak would have banged him out inside three rounds too.

    He's a very good British champion, but I really can't see him going much further, maybe he can pick up the European if he's on form.

    Lack of punch power and his defencive lapses means he's at his level

    He didnt have a good fight last night - maybe underestimated carslaw? i think he'll be more motivated for his mandatory Webb.

    I think after he beats Webb he should look to challenge either Rhodes or Rabchenko for the Euro belt.

    Good technical ability but if he always has to fight that safe then top operators will take advantage of it. He doesn't have the elite defence to fall back on to fight quite that way. He also isn't very talented, lacking in any real speed, strength or power.

    I think he can take a shot at Euro level but can I see him beating Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather, Canelo then no. I'd be quite impressed if he beat Rhodes.
