    He fights Ross Minter on Feb 2nd. How would he fare on the World Stage?

    Not too well

    European level at very best. He's not got great power for a start, which you need to be competing with the boys at 147

    As a boxer, British level only IMO.

    No real power - but nice boxing skills.

    He looks pretty decent but in no way ready to compete at world level. He may go on to be a very good domestic fighter and possibly up to European status but anything more is unlikely in the extreme, especially with the welterweight division being the most packed for dangerous talent.

    Have to agree with Wilson.. very good at what he does combines short sharp punches with impressive lateral movement. Think he could be top tier Euro level.

    I agree with Jeff could be top tier European level , however his power and chin would be found out at World level . Although with that said his power has already been found out at British level .

    However I enjoy watching him fight , a classy boxer who deserves to be put into some more serious matches domestically and against European opposition . Hopefully a fight against Minter is a start at upping his opposition again .

    at world level he'll get stopped by a top 20 contender like alfonso gomez or a gate keeper fighter like jesse feliciano.

    As said would be found out at a higher level but domestically he's pretty good. No way did he lose to Young Muttley either.

    British level boxer. No idea why the WBO had him down as their No.1 for a while.

    Slick fighter with good all round skills. Nice mover, and he has a good jab too. Capable of beating most people European/Domestic but needs to put on a good display on Saturday.

    Would murder Jesse Feliciano, not sure why his name is even brought up.

    I would say he is European level, maybe good enough to become a gatekeeper, in what is a very strong division.

    Perhaps a move up or down may help?

    He still has time to improve and I would love it for him to go onto greater things but welterweight division is very good. What chance of him moving up or down?

    I know he will still find it very tough but he has been very well placed in the standings and easy title fights come now and again.

    his names brought up because he's a gate keeper fighter, and to be able to think that he'd share the ring with an elite level welterweight he needs to prove his worth against this named guy, i dont know where you get the idea that jennings would murder feliciano, jennings doesnt punch that hard, cintron threw everything but the kitchen sink at feliciano, and he was still on his feet at the time of the stoppage, i hope your not under the impression that jennings posses better punch power then cintron?

    Jesse Feliciano is not a gatekeeper by any stretch of the imagination. He is a club fighter who gave the overrated Kermit Cintron problems because he had hand problems. Yeah he chased Kermit round the ring a few times, but that doesn't mean he is anywhere near the standard of Jennings. He is a plodding slugger with no head movement. Jennings would break him down.
