    Theophane would beat Gavin IMO. Gavin does not hit hard enough to keep Theophane honest. Theophane will not unravel like Lomax. Theophane will steam roll Frankie, Hoodstar for life baby!!

    I think it will be an interesting fight. I believe Frankie will be going on to world honours in the next few years so he takes it on points.

    Just stick Gavin in with Brook instead.

    It's probably an easier fight for Frankie.

    Brook I believe to be world class IMHO but theopane is nothing special an I will beat him very easily IMO I am fit a lot stronger than I get credit for an I am always really fit so if I can't out fight or keep someone off I will use my feet an outbox then an if that don't work I'm sure arnie will have a towel ready ha

    :lol:

    Who has Brook ever beaten?

    For some reason he's attracted this band of rabid fans.... like Paul Smith did..... that felt he was the greatest fighter of all time.

    My mother would have slapped the **** out of that joker who he fought last time.... believe me because I was about 50ft away. It was embarrassing.

    It's easy to say Pacquiao's ducking you :)rofl) when you can be 100% certain that he won't say ''let's ****ing have it out then''.

    Theophane isn't a pushover for anyone, even less a nine fight young lad. He's tricky, and has learnt the hard way in the States.

    I tell you what - I'll give you £100 on Betfair at 10/1 on Brook, if the fight ever happens, so basically I stand to lose a grand, you only £100. Money where the mouth is and all that.

    Agreed.

    His 2nd best win was over Lomax..... who was dominated and stopped by Gavin only last week.

    Even the rest of his slate is **** poor, an assortment of average to goodish journeymen, a couple of decent domestic lads and the rest a bunch of clowns with padded records that were accepted by the WBO for their interalphabetty title.

    Nothing wrong with Theoplane's statement. If you read his interview in last months Boxing Monthly you get an understanding where he is coming from. He feels aggrieved at how he was treated before he went to the States. He has took some very tough fights and gave a good account of himself and has obviously improved a lot as a fighter since he went to the States.

    So, he is absolutely right to look after number one and call the shots for his voluntary.

    Gavin v Theoplane would be a very good match up and a close fight, but I would fancy Gavin to beat him if they eventually meet.

    Kell Brook looks like he has raw potential, but he has not proved himself and I was not impressed with his performance against Jennings - who was started to give him trouble before the unfortunate stoppage.
