    Wish they'd have argued about failing drug tests instead.

    Both have got points because Can Xu was highly regarded going into the other weeks fight, but yeah the WBA is a joke. I imagine if Warrington wins his next one he’ll get Leigh Wood, with the winner squaring off against KG.

    Tbh I don't think Ben does have a point. It's irrelevant whether lsc has or hasn't fought for 2 year and it's also irrelevant that he lost his last fight which was up at a higher weight
    As a fw he holds the wba super which is the only recognised world title by the wba. The others regular and interim are trinkets, and are not recognised by the governing bodies.
    I do hear your point but at some stage we have to draw lines in the sand and stop mincing our words

    Fair argument mate. I agree its irrelevant the points around Santa Cruz, though weirdly I must admit I thought of Can Xu as a champion though thinking back he probably wasn’t. I suppose the argument Ben is making is that Xu was the champ and LSC wasn’t, which I suppose isnt the case regardless of him losing at another weight.

    Ben knew Xu ain't the No1 champ with wba but he was supporting his fighter. When he was challengerd by the fact that ben holds josh taylor as the wba champ in a circumstance pretty much the same.
    Ben had a card to play in the fact that lsc had fought gervonta at a higher weight and lost and hadn't been active for a couple of yrs as a 126er.
    However it is just smoke n mirrors from Ben and he knows it but
    1.there was no need imo for kid to bring all this up in the manner he did, especially considering he's a friend of Leigh woods
    2. He's sticking up for his fighter

    He was pointing out that he didn't want to spend 18 months of his life chasing an unification fight that wasn't even there. Only an idiot would do that.

    And also pointing out the fact that the wba regular wasn't the real world title belt, there was no need for him to push it like he did. Bet Leigh wood wasn't right happy.
    He pushed the point with Ben when all he had to do was state it once and leave it at that.
    We all know the regular ain't the real belt.

    Do you honestly think that Barry is remotely bothered about Leigh Wood being happy or not?

    Well he claims to be a friend, so I guess so.

    Davison with ease for me. There are weight divisions for a reason in boxing. Also people forget Kid Galahad isn't getting any younger is he?
