    Nah, you take that too far old bean. Additionally, you said the exact words "45 would be fine" earlier in the thread...I can't say I feel that there is anything meaningful between Wilde and Olivares but I feel a flip coming on.

    I do feel forties is better than teens or twenties where he often pops up but. Make no mistake however, that'll be the most controversial pick for the wider world outside of Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    Hence why they asked me for help, I really took them to task for Harada's absence, Fitz's placing and arguably the worst offence, Chang in the 90-100 and Yuh 80-90 :-(

    Don't worry, I'm there now ;)

    Their next special will be far more pleasing to the purist, trust me.

    Looking at that, I get the feeling that Attell needs to come down again, and Mike with him.

    I'm hired whenever they need me I think, but easier to submit stuff that will actually get looked at now. As I say, head hunted for next special which sorry Butt I cannot elaborate on :D
