    Thanks but I don't think you quite understand how this works, we come on here to discuss things, if someone disagrees with you you don't then come at them with a rather pompous, and wrong, assumption and then tell them that they can't reply, regardless of what experience you say you have.

    Maxi Hughes vs Ryan Garcia isn't a mismatch, I don't understand where this notion is coming from other than people are looking at what he did as opposed to what he's been doing.

    He turned over at 18yrs and has been around a long time now. He had some real close fights at British level and he does seem to have found his groove alately and I'm really chuffed for him, he definitely deserves it.
    You'd expect Garcia to win this but its not a mismatch and defensively I think Maxi is better than luke Campbell, the only other British southpaw we can pattern match against. Although luke is better offensively.
    Come on Maxi.

    You think Maxi Hughes is defensively better than our most successful ever amateur?

    Agree ref paragraph 1. My bad.

    I’ve seen Garcia fight live and he is explosive and has raw power. In my opinion it’s one sided, but let’s see what happens if the fight ever gets made, which I doubt it will.

    Garcia v Tank would be a barnburner.

    He's certainly got a better/tighter gaurd/is better at catching ,blocking, parrying. Ye I do, don't you?

    No worries man, cheers :)

    Garcia v Tank is the one we would all like to see, agreed, we've had years of it building, I hope we get to see it.

    Let’s hope we get to see that fight within the next 12 months. I fancy Tank to smash Rolly to pieces at the weekend, but let’s see.

    Galahad is prepared to jump 2 divisions to fight Hughes and make this happen. Surely Hughes can't swerve this?

    I hope he does swerve - it would be a horrible fight to watch
