    Ok so everyman and his dog has now taken to the scouse African that is Zolani Tete.
    Hes quickly getting a name for himself on these shores as a honest, happy, hardworking good person we all know he can box and was a real force when he was lower than bantam. Hes now at bantam and fr4nk was saying hes chasing the Haskins fight. His son has been for a meet with Sanigar and proposed the bout. He then went on to call Jamie Mac out as well as mentioning the Sbw and Fw division namely

    Quigg, Frampton and Selby.
    Tetes the tallest of all those there however i dont think there will be much between him Jamie and Selbz although i would say he has the reach on them two.
    The above 2 like to fight at range and this is there strengths just like it is Tetes.
    Take the straight shots away from Selby and you havnt got much left the storys not much different for Jamie. Tetes also faster than those two with better accuracy.
    I reckon hed beat Haskins defo whilst Haskins can be awkward with his unpredictability Tetes patient enough and clever enough to work him out whilst not getting hit . Jamie would also get beat by him but this would be closer imo. Quigg would be another victim i reckon simply because Tetes enough snap to make Quigg respect him, that along with Tetes movement will be enough to get the job done.
    We then come to Frampton and Selby and whilst i reckon lb for lb hed beat em both i think were getting to the borders of whats practicaly possible given the weight difference therell be on the night not as much with Frampton more towards Selby.
    Imo these are all fights Tete would be more than competative in and hes in with a shout in all those 3 divisions.

    What does everyone else think?

    I think we need to slow down a bit about tete. He looked good against the much shorter and smaller butler. I have yet to see him look great in a fight where he did not have big height and reach advantages. Certainly talk of him being a threat to quigg and frampton is very premature.

    Would have all the physical advantages over Quigg and Frampton, not saying he would beat them though, do fancy him strongly v Haskins.

    I don't think he would. Quigg and frampton are naturally bigger stronger men.l, they punch harder etc. He might be taller than Carl, but would that be enough? Personally I doubt it.

    I know what your saying . And your correct.
    The task will become harder the more he moves up from his natty weight.
    But i still reckon that he would have enough power for them guys to respect him and none of those have his levers. Also moving up he would stillvtake his reflexes with him.
    I give him a shout.

    [QUOTEt=Kingcrolla;18005942]Rigo beats him,[/QUOTE]
    Im not so sure now strictly because rigos knocking on. A younger rigo yes.
    They have similar styles and both spaw although rigo controls range slightly better that tactic would become somewhat diminished ad tete has the levers here.
    You wouldnt go against rigo but this is a fantastic fight and one im sure tete just like that brave lad jazza would jump at.
