From todays MEN and on their online site.. http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereve...s/1301968_hatton_tipping_star_trio_to_step_up there is also an article on how Bob Shannon has turned Matthew Hatton into a world-beater
Can't see Quigg fighting for the British this year - unless it is really late in the year - due to Marsh vs Hughes being pushed back to some time later in the year. But Crolla vs Sykes II? Yes please
Marsh vs Hughes was for the commonwealth. Quigg vs Reid for the english is a disgrace. Reid is coming of a loss for the Southern Area. I wouldnt have reid top 10 in the country at super bantam. Crolla need to be fighting better opponents than he is tonight. Watson deserves his shot especially with Brook/Jennings/Hatton/O'Donnell out of the picture. I wonder who he would fight though.
Yeah, my mistake. I don't mind Crolla fighting Sykes next. Sykes has already beat Morris and O'Hara, so the only viable opponents IMO for Sykes next is either Crolla, Morris again or Lawton. Crolla, if he is to get a shot next (which has been suggested by Sykes' team), isn't really deserving of it but I'm not going to complain :yep
Johanneson wouldn't be a bad fight (one that has also been mooted), but I think Truscott and Appleby have to have a couple more warm up fights IMO, with Trussy at a new weight and Appleby being out of the ring for over a year.
Luck, have you seen who is scheduled to fight? http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=472652&cat=boxer An absolute walk in the pasrk and very bad match making by the Hattons.
your a bit harsh there mate,chris riley is not a bad wee fighter although he should be no more than featherweight, i may be wrong but did riley not box for england?
Crolla's opposition since the loss to Sykes has been shocking, Brodie excepted. This will be his 5th fight since then, the 4th journeyman - 2 of which are very low level journeymen.... :-(
i understand what your saying but Riley is better than journeyman level imo he took stephen smith the distance and never looked like getting stopped at any stage
