    Do you reckon theres any truth to this story about a fight between these two at the Principality Stadium ( Millenium ) in the future?

    I don't know but I think Selby would outbox him easier than people think.

    I agree. Everyone seems obsessed with stadium fights since Froch Groves ll. No need most of the time.

    Everyone wants to knock out an opponent in front of 60,000+ people these days.

    Be a top draw fight but I think as main event it would only do the numbers in Ulster. Selbys world class but has a small fanbase unfortunately. For record think he would win all day long between the two of them at featherweight

    I think it could well draw a big crowd if it has a decent card. Thing is with Selby is we don't hear much of him week in week out so i believe if the fight was to happen and it was promoted well and depending on what other fights were there i think 40000 plus would be achievable..
    The Millinium Stadium is right in the centre near to the bars and pubs etc and Cardiff is a cracking city to stay and make it a weekend

    Two midgets will struggle to fill a circus tent.

    You mustn't be familiar with Carl Frampton. He sells out 10,000 on his own against no name opponents.
