    Slight diversion if I may Billy...

    Please don't take this the wrong way Billy, because I admire your work, but at times you can appear as a bit of a home for lost souls and strays at times. (Please don't take that as a negative as it was not my intention).....

    So, to bring up another thread that is current.......


    Have you ever looked at , or known Romeo Romaeo?

    There is a rumour he wants to come back soon?

    It just seems that that if he got the offer of training up with a fella like you, hundreds of miles from family, it may actually really help him???

    God, I do hope not. The fella is shot to pieces. Even Dave Allen sparked him in a fight that was rigged to go the distance.

    Was tongue in cheek... Although it wouldn't surprise me, I did hear that Billy had tried to match Dallas up with a cruiserweight on a recent MTK show.

    I guess it all depends on what a 'top opponent' means in relative terms.

    Ian Lewison would probably be one, in terms of where Ilunga likely is right now, although that may still be a stretch too far and too early for him.

    With respect the opponent is much much better that Ian, please don't think Martin is an average joe fighter he most certainly isnt

    No Billy, I wasn't thinking your guy was average.........but I didn't realise you were ready to step him up so quickly.

    Certainly an interesting comment, since Lewison was ranked top 15 by one of the alphabets prior to his last fight, and I would rate him better than Dave Allen.

    Looking forward to your announcement. :)

    dave Allen would look ridiculous in the same ring as Martin, Martin is fast, punches hard and an athlete, none of those apply to dave has tough as he is

    OK Billy, I have a name in my head that would maybe make sense from both sides, but as you can't confirm or deny it would be pointless saying it. :lol:
