    Selby is rather tremendously slick and black but happens to be white

    I'd like to see Selby-Lomachenko, if he beats Gradovich.

    I see Selby beating Gradovich. The Mexican Russian isn't hard to find.

    I don't think Selby is beating Gradovich. Selby is a rather abnormally large featherweight, though. I saw his last fight, and he looked at least a division above his opponent. I wonder what his fight night weight is.

    Sugar Lee Selby.

    I'm not sure how far he can go, it's a tough division at the moment, but he is pretty good and he will beat Gradovich. I wish he had more power, but he boxes very well.

    My mother was born in Barry. :good

    It seems as though Selby would be problematic for Lomanchenko

    You can't be serious, man?

    Horrible style to fight Lomachenko. He has no power. I'm not sure where you guys are trying to come up with an argument. The guy is 21 fights with only 8 KO's.

    Selby has a longer reach.

    Also, it'd be a great chess match.

    He's not boxing with Lomachenko, Lomachenko's movement would be too much for him.

    I think Selby is a supremely skilled fighter......that being said, he ain't beating Loma.

    I'm not saying he'd beat Lomachenko. I'm just saying it'd be a highly technical fight.

    ... THAT nobody would want to see. He's not winning one round. Lomachenko made his name fighting guys like him.
