    How do you see Kickett going against these guys...

    Domestic:

    1. Nedal Hussein
    2. Lenny Zappa

    International

    1. Monty Meza Clay
    2. Malcolm Klassen (an interesting one, this guy beat St Clair by SD)

    Jury's still out for me on Kickett but I'd like to think he gets through an inactive past prime Skinny.

    Not sold on Zappa either he needs a good chin with his style which Im not sure he has, likewise he could probably test Willy's beard if he connected.

    Seen a little of Clay, looks a big powerful sfw but slowish and could be in trouble against a quick in and out fighter.

    Havent seen Klassen, any footage around?

    I think your chosen fighters all have power as an underlying strength and I would like to see Kickett tested against this style of fighter before im convinced.

    kickett beats them all. the jury isnt out amongst wise judges of boxing talent. listening to those that know, the mail is willie is the real deal....

    bashes chris john in the gym.....what more you want from a 12 fight novice...?

    more important on how he gets up after getting kd...

    if you look at history. all the best fighters were kd at some time or other. what set them apart was that they fought on...often harder. it wasnt that long ago when what were considered great fighters had lost many times in their careers. they also fought nearly evey month.

    kicketts chin wouldnt be too bad. chris john must land sometimes in the gym.....that is, when willie isnt bashing him....

    chris john isnt exactly what id call a big puncher though, him and st clair are both relatively feather fisted

    I havent seen Cool Willie bash any1 yet let alone a respected World champ.

    I have seen him outbox people(mostly duds) but never bash.

    Ok mate.

    When Willy 1st entered the gym he was regularly taken to school by Chris John.

    However as time has gone on Willy has gotten a tonne better & gradually the contests have become more & more even.

    In recent times Willy has hurt Chris a couple of times...but i wouldnt say he bashes him regularly or anything like that.
    The spars are now very very competitive with not much separating either.
    Willy prob has held a slight edge.
    Willy u have to remember is the naturally slightly bigger boxer too.

    Skinny has been one of my local favs for ages, it was painful to see him get bashed in his last fight.
    Dont think his heart is in it anymore and I wouldnt want to see him in there with Kickett.

    Most people think Willies smashes Lenny. I think people underrate Lenny a bit and a lot of that has to do with the fact he has been moved a long a lot slower than Willie. I still think Kickett get the nod on points but it would be a very exciting fight.

    Never seen Klassen but must be alright to beat St Claire, and there was no complaints from St Claire about the decision either.

    Meza Clay is a bit of an ask right now. His only loss was to quite a good fighter and that was in a classic.
    He is a little pocket rocket but I like Willie's chances of keeping him at bay with his outside style, just not now. I think Willie needs a few longer fights under his belt and longer fights where is he getting worked.

    Willie has that skinny chicken neck like Mundine, RJJ and PBF which just makes me think that his chin is not that good.
