Which are the highest ranked British SFWs and LWs that Choi would beat?

I'd love it if Martinez pulls out of the Cook fight and Choi gets called up as a replacement. He deserves a shot.

 

I think Cook would win on points but Choi would make it competitive. Cook is just a level above Choi and Choi would be stepping up in weight.

 

IMO he'd have a good chance against Johanneson, Vinny Mitchell, maybe Sykes and Khan and Castle because of their chins.

Don't know enough about Barrett, Brawley, Ancliff and Docherty to make a pick.

 

I suspect Choi could beat many of these if he turned up with the same intensity as against Matthews. The chances of him replicating that level of performance are diminishing each passing day. A crying shame. Presuming he performs like this:

Certainties to strongly favoured:

Vinny Mitchell
James Ancliff?!
Ryan Barrett
Craig Docherty
John Fewkes
Carl Johanneson
Ryan Brawley
Lee Meager
Martin Gethin

>50% chances:

Ricky Burns
Stephen Foster Jr
Henry Castle


50/50 chance:

Alex Arthur
Nicky Cook
Kev Mitchell
Willie Limond
Amir Khan

Tough asks:

John Murray
Jon Thaxton

Never seen him fight:

Gary Sykes

 

It looks better than it is in quantity. For example, Vinny Mitchell is a rank novice and has already been hurt a few times. Barrett Ancliff and Docherty are pretty much journeyman material IMO. These are four that have no business even fighting a WBU champ!

Brawley and Fewkes and maybe even Burns have zero power to keep a guy like Choi off. You gotta have some power to beat this guy I think.

I think Meager and Johanneson have seen better days. Don't really see them living with that version of Choi.

A lot of the others could be very interesting indeed. I wouldn't rule out the chance of some big shocks. There are some porus defences and questionable chins in the mix.

 

Nicky Cook
Kevin Mitchell
Alex Arthur

he would loose too. he would beat these but to be fair to guys like vinny mitchell it would be a big step up hes just a kid still.

Carl Johanneson
Ricky Burns
Stephen Foster
Ryan Barrett
Gary Sykes
Vinny Mitchell
James Ancliff

 

heres a quality fight for you, Choi vs Michael Gomez. over 6 rounds so they know they have to go for it.

 

willie limond has already beaten choi in a very good fight,conceding weight,choi is a credit to the sport he came to glasgow to spar scott harrison 4 or 5 years ago and hes a true gent

 

That was a long long time ago.

Choi is definitely a late bloomer. I think he's in the best form of his career right now, which is why Frank needs to get him some fights.

 

It would be nice if we could decide that for ourselves...a year out at 37 is career threatening
