    Its a really interesting concept actually. He's a good sized FW so he has that going for him, his skills and technical ability will be below the top end of world level fighters.

    Mikey Garcia would beat him handily, I think that goes without saying, but . . . . the division is wide open with the SBW's likely to move up soon, it could be a good time for Selby to grab one of the smaller guys who's a well known name and begin fighting at that level.

    He should defend that European belt a hand full of times and then look for that world title at the end of the year or summer next year.

    In summary, he'd have to be matched very carefully at this stage to survive at world level.

    Selby is a class act, very slick! Future world champion for sure.
