    I would rather see Booth drop down a weight and fight for the Euro crown than dropping back to a British defence at the higher weight. A European belt would be great for his CV and closer to his natural weight. However a world crown at Bantam would be big ask.

    I agree. He could win a world title at BW or Super Fly.

    Nah cos he get robbed probably. McDonnell will just throw punches into air while Booth lays into him with sweet skills and lose because McDonell through more punches.

    Still annoyed about the Napa judging. Not big on McDonnell. Booth if ok at the weight would school the kid.

    Booth wouldn't win a title at bantamweight at the minute with how strong that division is looking. A fight with Mcdonnel next though would be a good judge at where he is at. If he won, which I doubt he would, I think he could definitely challenge at super bantamweight again for a world title. Thats dependant on him being willing to switch between weights though

    The main problem in the Molitor fight was his lack of power.

    When he was winning the battle he wasn't able to press home his advantage. I'm sure down at 118 his punches will have more effect.

    He'd definitely beat McDonnell for me, he's better than Napa by miles, and Napa tooled McDonnell.

    There is no way Booth is better than Napa by miles... That would be a real 50/50 fight!!
    Booth is too good for Mcdonnell tho...
