Jamie has had such bad luck, but now it is his chance. He has held British and Commonwealth, and as current European belt holder he has 1 more step to go. In light of his luck what is his safest route to glory?
he's only ranked by the wbc (number 6) so you have forrest as the champ with martinez as interim champ, and pbf as "emeritus"
Isn't he holder of the Irish belt as well. Not fussed as long as he gets a shot. Going to be tricky to make the match though if what you say about rankings is right. Although the fight the other night was not against a European level challenger despite being a title defence the more exposure Jamie gets against foreign opposition the better. Hope to see him back in action soon. Keep knocking them out and knocking on the door Jamie.
V. Forrest in America, he aint got time to be cherry picking a title. Get ranked number 1 for the WBC title and fight Forrest, although its alot harder to get that shot than it is writing it lol.
I think he'd have a very good chance with either. Martinez is slightly brittle, he might look good for a few rounds but Jamie's strength and power would be a problem for him. Forrest is real old now, and not particularly motivated for these "smaller" fights (from his POV), as we saw in Mora I. Still a good fighter on his night, but I've got to give Moore a great chance.
I think Moore stands a good chance against any light middle currently active and would possibly place him among the top 20 but getting a fight for a belt is going to be very hard and will possibly make his Euro charge seem a piece of cake. He looks pretty dangerous and offers the champs and contenders little reward so he may have to take a ******* of a match to get an opportunity. The best option for him is to stay in the gym and keep sparing and just hope for a late call before the end of the year otherwise it will probably be a long time before he looks any where near a shot. A fight against Rhodes would do him no harm either.
i think Daniel Santos is the best match-up for him, Cory Spinks has also lost a fair bit of mobility and i could see him giving the winner of Forrest-Martinez a tough fight. Best off staying away from the WBO route as he would probably have to fight Paul Williams in the near future.
Maloney mentioned working him into the mandatory position so they wouldn't have to give up options. So it doesn't appear on the horizon unfortunately
Santos is the best match up for Moore if he wants to be knocked out. He won't get the Forest fight or the other guy anytime soon. Dzinziruk could be seen as the weak link at the moment, but would probably beat Moore on points in Germany. It's strange the WBO don't have Moore ranked? IBF vacant and no-names will be fighting for that. I don't see Moore doing anything for at least 18 months, apart from Euro defences, moving up to the top WBC position will take time. By this time the route of least resistance may be open........ a vacant WBO shot. Sorry, I understand now, Maloney is the manager not Warren.
