    I can't see a case for Baker or Henry, Timing just isn't right for them but Layne should have got the summer shot instead Walcott 3. Not sure why that didn't happen.

    Layne ended up losing his standing against Rocky, and never fully got on track again, while Charles lost the title by brutal KO against a man he already risked two fights with.

    How did this happen? Two horrible management blunders. Did Rockys team sucker Layne into the July fight, leaving Charles with only Walcott available,
