Think Selby should swerve Russell at all costs after that.

Yeah I've just watched that. He's unreal. Selby should take the Warrington fight sooner rather than later. It's an easy fight for him, and given Warrington's fan base, it should be a big sell. He can't possibly compete with the other champions, because the quality is too high, so this would be his best bet, unless Framton or Quigg move up to fight him - but again, they should stay where they are, because there aren't many winnable world title opportunities for them.

Totally agree mate, with the likes of Lomachenko, Russell, and Santa Cruz all at 126, i think Selby would get banged out early.

I've been impressed with Spence, remember Floyd biggin him up a couple of years ago. He's managed to do what Khan & Pacquiao coundnt and beat Algieri inside 12. He 'could' clean up at 147, although theres plenty of top fighters in the mix who will have their say. Just hope these fights get made.

Yeah i've been keeping an eye on him since Floyd gave a ringing endorsement a few years back. There were rumours that he knocked Broner out in sparring around that time as well.

Can totally see Brook vacating. He is allowed a voluntary now after his pointless mandatory, so that will probably see him into the start of next year, by which time he will hopefully be negotiating with Khan for an early summer stadium fight. Khan doesn't have a top 15 ranking with the IBF so Brook will probably tactically vacate the title. Can't fault him because Khan is much more winnable and profitable than Spence. I'd like to see Spence chin in with Thurman once he gets a title, or even Garcia. Total mystery to me how Garcia has stayed unbeaten for so long.

I've got a great link to a brilliant copy of the new Calzaghe film - Mr Calzaghe if anyone wants it? Not sure if it can be posted.

It may be on Iplayer, it was shown on BBC2 Wales a couple of weeks ago. Amazing documentary with Enzo Calzaghe the star of the show. The fact he coached his son to dominance with no previous experience of boxing is very impressive.
 
Anyone see Billy Joe Saunders saying that he wants to fight Golovkin, but only if it's in England as he doesn't think US judges will give him the win? Very optimistic thinking judges would be needed for that

I also saw him claim on IFL TV that he and the Furys have been denied renting Wembley for fights in the past because they didn't want loads of travellers there. He's thick as shit.
