    I'm sure if he wanted it enough he could but he should only drain himself down if the fighters are below his level because anyone with who's decent stops him at SBW. He really struggles with body shots because he so drained.

    It would be, hope it happens at the beginning of next year.

    What next for Booth anyway, anyone heard?

    Yeah, he does.

    Thing is, he'd be an interesting addition, to see how he fares. Also, I doubt Pickering (now) or The Pocket Rocket really has the dig to do him much harm.

    Might make the other guys (the more limited 'fillers') give him a good go though.

    Munroe will probably be vacating the Euro belt and Booth is number 1 contender I believe so he should be fighting for that next.

    Booth was made mando for the Euro belt which Munroe still holds. Maloney said that with Munroe now WBC mando, he may drop the Euro belt to allow Booth to go for it. There was some talk of Booth-Molitor last week but it's all gone quiet now :huh

    Booth-Quigg would be an excellent crossroads fight. I'm a fan of both so would be sad to see either of them lose.

    I'd be really disapointed if high class operators like Quigg and Booth were anywhere near this. They have far bigger fish to fry. Quigg has a proper career ahead of him, he needs to continue his progression over proper distances and Booth is European class heading towards world class.

    It's great for McCullough's and Pickering's who are past it and youngsters that have suffered an early loss or are not particularly rated but not for class fighters.

    **** idea, sure he'll go hell for leather in it but he's neve going nowhere and it makes a mockery of the tournament. Prizefighter is supposed to be for the 'nearly men'. The men who didn't get the chance to fight for titles. The men who didn't get the paychecks that most in the sport deserve. Now it's full of ex Commonwealth, British, Euro and World Champs.

    ****, its lost its appeal to me now

    Molitor-Booth; now that's interesting. Booth could well pull that off, would be bloody hard though.

    Although not infallible, Molitor has been shown to be vulnerable to only a freak of a Bantam, who's awkward as Hell and had a fair dig at the weight.

    As I say though, some of his performances have been uninspiring and he can't hit for ****, but apart from that he's a fairly classy operator. Would be a tough fight for Booth, but one he'd be in with a shout in due to his own ability.

    I'm getting a bit excited about Quigg. I can see a thread on him shortly.

    He looks the business...I struggle to see anything bad about him and he's so young too.

    That guy he sparked 1st rd in his last fight had never been stopped and has fought good comp :shock:
