Did Shane McGuigan ever box? I know nothing about him.

Shane did box a bit in the amaturs in Ireland but never done anymore than that. He got in with Carl Framptons team at the age of 22 with Gerry Storey as Carls main coach. Once Storey retired Shane went as Carls main coach. Shanes a smart lad he does everything for his fighters which include training them , strenght and conditioning and also the nutrition of all his fighters that gym is buzzing.
He has a lot of Irish lads in the gym Conrad Cummings looks decent. Anthony Cacace is 1 fight away from a British title fight and Josh Pritchard too looks a decent talent that is in the gym to. It does not shock me that the likes of Haye and Groves both went with Shane as the lad is a top top young trainer. I know Barry helps in the gym too but its mainly down to Shane training all these guys.

To be fair, Whyte hit him with one clean reactionary left hook and almost knocked him out cold. And Joshua took ages to recover.

Whyte didn't land much else of note all fight, and the only reason he went so long was because his head is made out of granite.

There's a reason David Haye was so keen on getting to fight Joshua post fight, he knows how raw he is.

If Haye fought him now I think he'd knock him out, IMO. A couple years down the line Haye might not be up to much and on the decline while Joshua would be more rounded. If Haye got the fight now he could make a real name for himself stopping this apparently unstoppable young monster.

Joshua is a big prospect but he has a lot to learn at world level IMO.

+1^..Whyte was game enough but he'd win a world title for being the most inacurate punch thrower in the world

I'm a big BJS fan. Reckon he takes this on points. Small possibility he get's Lee with a body shot. Not the biggest puncher, but not a light puncher either. I think he's the best boxer in Britain on his day. Fitness worries me though. Talented division.

I want Lee to win but believe Saunders takes this on points. There was talk of a rematch with Eubank Jr too.

I think Saunders does cut corners but could make a statement and KO Lee with superior skills. Who knows.. it's boxing after all. Eubank rematch will happen next year due to demand from fans. Again it'd be an interesting one, we know Eubank thinks he took his foot off the gas, but BJS could also learn from going the distance yet again. Could be a 50/50 fight with Booth in CEJs corner. It's a fantastic triangle of fighters. And then of course, there's GGG. If you have a belt, he wants it. None of the above stand a chance against him and would merely be a warm up for the Canelo summer clash.
 
Lee v Saunders doesn't seem to be selling. They were advertising tickets recently. I know Turbo Terry withdrew but the card still looks reasonable.

He also helped Freddie Flintoff somehow win a pro boxing match.

I would have been tempted but £40 a ticket 6days before xmas when I already pay for boxnation, really couldnt justify it.
